SRI SHARADA VIDYA NIKETANA - ANNUAL DAY

ANCHORING SCRIPT

Anirudh: Good evening parents, welcome to our annual Day celebrations. I am Anirudh of
class 10.
Nithya: And I am Nithya of class 10 hosting today's event. We are excited to be your host for
this grand evening, brimming with zeal and celebrations
Ani: Exactly! Today we rejoice in our past achievements, envisioning a brighter future. For all
of us here, it is a day of recognition and merry making.
Nithya: And to celebrate this we have chosen a theme that goes with the name 'Soulful
Saga'.
Soulful because the music feeds your soul. And the best way to celebrate this soulful
saga is to include AR Rehman's music for today's event.
Ani: AR Rehman is known for his unique style of blending Indian classical music with
contemporary sounds. This music belongs to a different genre which starts with a soulful
prelude and gives a glimpse of every instrument played in the song.
Nithya: Now without wasting much of your time let's set the evening's ball rolling with a
mesmerizing dance performance from our talented group of class 9.
Parents, put your hands together and welcome them on the stage.
(9th std Performance)
Ani: Wow! What a spectacular performance to open the evening. Let's give them a big
round of applause. They deserve it. Thank you for such an energetic start.
Nithya: I know energies are running high!
Anirudh, do you remember the carefree days of our childhood?
Ani: Yes, I do. In fact I wish I could go back to those days and enjoy it all again.
Nithya: Yes! Those were the days - where we did not have any stress - stress of homework,
stress of exams, etc. Just eat, play, sleep, and repeat. And all we wanted to do was
just fulfill our every 'Choti Si Asha' and just do 'Matar Gashti' (ಮಟರ್ ಗಶ್ತಿ)
Ani: We cannot go back to those days but we can enjoy our tiny tots of the KG section doing
that. Let's welcome them on the stage to perform for the dance number 'Choti Si Asha'
and 'Matar Gashti'.
(KG Performance)
Nithya: Such a wonderful performance by our Little stars - you have mesmerized all of us
with your dance. Let’s give them a big round of applause.

And parents, you know how they were in the beginning of the year - all crying babies,
and look at what they are today - all confident young lads - such a transformation!!
I hope all the parents out there are happy as all of us here.

Ani: Moving on, we would welcome the students of class 1 on the stage, who will be

Mainly about the unity in the villagers. The song ‘Chale Chalo’ from this film is best fitting
for this theme.

its beats. What's more interesting is that this particular music was also copied or
recreated by foreign artists.

Ani: In recent times the movie 'Kantara' has left a great impact on the people. The movie has
made us understand the importance of divinity, the strength of belief and our
dependency on nature.

thing with many divine songs.

Divinity.

destroyer of sin and the sinful, Shiva has many aspects - benevolent, omniscient and
fearsome.
