The Annual School Concert St. Mary’s High School Mount Abu.

The Annual School Concert St. Mary’s High School Mount Abu. 

The School Annual Concert is an event that all look forward to, the students, the staff, and the parents who have their kids in the boarding. For the ex-Marians, it is an event that transports them back into an era of nostalgia.

The variety of entertainment put up by the students opens up portals in the souls of the audience. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. From the onset, the boys had committed themselves to perform to their utmost abilities, given the ‘short time frame’ to achieve what they have set out to do. One can actually see and feel the passion generated by these young boys to each other and to the success of the concert on hand. To reach this stage of adeptness takes a great deal of hard work, hours of rehearsal and commitment for the common goal of pulling off an excellent performance for their parent and visitors who take the time off to be there for them.

Imagine the choir I’m told had only 2 or 3 days to practice before coming on stage, no wonder the boys looked strained. I’m sure all who were there appreciated the work put up by the boys and the staff.

I'm attaching the school programme via a link at the bottom it will take a short while to open, (10 MB file) while you wait to say a short prayer for the boys on the list 'Happy Viewing'

An Evening of Variety Entertainment 

The Annual Concert St. Mary’s High School Mount Abu

The Annual Concert St. Mary’s High School 

Every year, the students of the school take part in the annual school concert. The concert encompasses all the students in the school and there are a variety of fantastic presentations performed on the four nights for the different parents and students.

Congratulations go to all the students, the teaching staff, the brothers and the staff at large, special congrats to all the students for the hours of rehearsal and their outstanding performance at the variety entertainment presented on all days with equal gusto to the school students, local parents, ex-students and the parents of the school borders.

For many years I had not attended the school concert as Operas were out and the school had shifted to entertaining the parents with variety shows. I guess the essence of operas to the audience at large has lost its former glory and the modern audiences prefer short and sweet variety entertainments to keep them amused. At St. Mary’s, the boys are passionate about every piece of work they do, big or small, be it in sports, games, walks, concerts or studies. They excel. The boys of the school always deliver in all fields, making the school proud to have loyal and die-hard students.

There is bonding so strong between the borders and staff of the school that even those who have passed out decades ago seek in their hearts to reunite with ole mates and relive the nostalgia that still exists and nothing in this shrinking world of ours can keep them apart. Look at the reunion of the batch of 73 to see what I mean. Click on the link.

BATCH OF 73

Keep tuned. I will post the shorter clips of the Variety Entertainment performed this year at School. Will make DVDs of the full show if anyone interested drops me a line, please note I'm just an amateur so there are going to be blotches but for those of you who missed the show or could not make it I’m sure you will appreciate the boys of the school.

ANNUAL CONCERT ST.MARY'S SCHOOL MOUNT ABU

When I walked into the hall, the warmth that spread from all four walls entrapped me in a web of nostalgia. The stage that had been freshly set up sent an excitement through my very being, as eons ago I had also participated in one of the best operas ever presented in the history of the school “The Micardo” The red velvet curtains that cloaked the stage seemed to present me with memories long forgotten. The annual concert, the pride of the boys who participated in the various plays, songs, variety shows and the Opera flashed through. The slight light streaming through the curtain seemed to reach out and touch the bare spot in the corner of my heart. As I walked towards the stage, I saw the rows of chairs laid out for the parents of the students who would be performing for them, I visualized the thrill and expectancy and the joy on these folks who without fail land up every year leaving their busy schedules to be there for their Kids. On this stage, the memories that expressed themselves were overwhelming. When I left the room, it was as if I had tasted a piece of paradise.
"Liz, my bitter half attended the variety show yesterday", she was really impressed by the variety show put up by the students. All the shows were incredible, the events were fabulous and the audience were wrapped in apt attention, they were bowled away with the ideas and concepts presented by the students and the supreme efforts put on by the teaching staff and faculty. Like previous years, this year also saw record crowds in the hall.
Today was the anchor; the opera was “UNCLE SCROOGE”. My Daughter who is a teacher there said the hall was overcrowded. The boys were given a standing ovation by all present there in appreciation for their outstanding and wonderful efforts. Snaps posted today have been taken by my bitter half and my daughter Jennifer. It was great to see many students from the 1983 I.C.S.E. batch in the hall, dressed in special T.Shirts, celebrating the Silver Anniversary of them having left school. At the end of the show they even sang a song from an opera from their time "Do the boys rock". It really was quite a spectacle. What a great feeling to see these guys as well as other Ex- students, it speaks volumes of the love they have for the school.
