Encore

Friday, 11^th January 2013: 

A not so cold, breezy evening that saw the whole of SID, 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th years turn up as one and celebrate the beginning of their annual cultural fest Fundamental.

The idea was simple, an open mic night called ‘Encore’ where anyone could do anything that they wanted to. Singer or dancer, actor or trickster, confident or nervous, talented or not the stage had no limits- just a chance to make the crowd go once more.

We started with a classical dance performance by a meek first year followed by more dance performances. There was salsa, hip hop, belly dancing and a little squish of bollywood. So overwhelmed was our anchor with the performances that he couldn’t resist joining in.

As the evening progressed we saw one of the third years rap an Eminem with gripping accuracy, saw a group of first years put up a flash mob cum dance performance, heard a fair few melodious voices and were blown away by the performances of bands like Same Shit Different Day and J.O.E.

Between the strumming guitars and mic checks, there was some cheesy leg pulling by the anchor with rather witty comebacks from the audience.

Meanwhile, we had also a couple of bikes burning their tires in the presence of a Harley Davidson revving its engine as the crowd watched on with excitement.

We wrapped up the night with the super seniors on the guitar singing their last in college.  An evening well spent, a stage jam-packed, this is what Encore was all about.

But the fun has just begun and to be a part of our crazier fest, tune in to Fundamental at SID on 8^th, 9^th and 10^th Feb’13.
