Gospel event
The students of St Joseph’s College of Commerce recently held their annual gospel fest, ‘Revelations’.
The inter-collegiate fest not only gave the students a platform to showcase their talent, but also a chance to get in touch with their spiritual side.
One would assume that a gospel fest would tend to be a bit boring, but the fest was anything but that. There was a lot of healthy competition and fun-filled events, like in any other fest.
There were close to 17 colleges that registered for the various events. While the events revolved around the biblical theme, each had its own fun twist.
The day-long fest had events like ‘ice-breaker’, ‘western music’, ‘vernacular music’, ‘creative writing’, ‘collage’, ‘debate’, ‘Bible quiz’, ‘costume presentation’, treasure hunt’, ‘street play’, ‘Bible punter’, ‘pick and sing’ and many others.
“This fest really aims at bringing out the best in each one of us. Also, it helps us youngsters get in touch with our spiritual side,” says Pilith Pericho, a student of SJCC.
The highlight was the ‘ice breaker’ round, where students from various colleges came up on stage in groups of eight and presented the vision of their college in a unique and funny way. While some sang songs, others danced.
There were also a few who used skits with funny one-liners to introduce their college.
Girls from Bishop Cotton Women’s Christian College put up one of the skits in the round. Gurneet, a student of the college, says that such fests really help the students get charged up.
“We tried to show the vision of our college in the form of a skit. Such events really help us bond and give us a chance to get to know many others in the student community,” she adds.
Another highlight was the ‘Bible punter’, where the students were tested on their knowledge of the Bible.
For Adrian Jeffery, a student of SJCC, the best event was the western music competition.
“There is some really good talent here. It is a great platform to show that,” he adds. At the end of the day, Kristu Jayanthi College took the overall trophy and St Joseph’s College of Arts and Science was the runners up.
