Singing Competition That I Won

In the hunt of a beautiful voice, our school hosted the seventh edition of ‘Golden Voice Competition’, on Annual Singing Day.

The students who wished to participate in the competition were sorted into three categories on the bases of age. The three categories were junior classes II to IV, intermediate from classes V to VII and senior classes from VIII to X. About 140 students had turned up for the elimination round out of which 15 were selected for the final round. I was one among the fifteen participants.

We had to cover songs that ranged from genres like Devotional, Classical, Pop, Sufi and Bollywood. I selected a devotional song. In order to judge the event, our school had invited some of the eminent personalities from the world of music. Sugandhi Arun, singer and a performer was the chief guest for the event. Our school believes that music is an interesting opportunity for expressing creativity of children as it helps to stay tuned to life.

The competition started. The participants singing popular numbers mesmerised the audience and left them asking for more. With great confidence, I sang a devotional song. From junior’s group, Delzin Tata won many hearts with her chirpy-voiced version of `Ashaye’. This won her the top prize in her category. Sonam Mhaske and Heena Khan bagged top honours in the intermediate and senior groups respectively.

Finally, my name was announced as the winner of devotional category. I was awarded with the title of ‘gest Devotional Singer’ of the school. This day had turned out to be a memorable day of my school life. Many of my friends and teachers congratulated rile. I realized how my mother daily sat with me and helped me practice singing. Her efforts at home helped me to train myself for the competition. I realised that hard work of practicing singing helped me to succeed.

Linking music to general progress of the students, our Principal Roxana Ookajee said, “Music injects rhythm in an individual’s approach to life. It eliminates haphazardness and consequently produces amazing results in different walks of life.”

However, for me performing in front of family and friends was much tougher than performing before an unknown audience. The competition was a real test of a performer’s character.
