Inventure Academy Choir at `Glorious- Festival of Harmony'

From an inspiring “Lord, make me an Instrument of your Peace”, a prayer of St Francis of Assisi, through the harmony of “We go together” to a frolicsome “Rockin Robin”, 63 tuneful voices from as many smiling singers, captured the hearts of a large audience last Saturday.

The Inventure Chorus made its debut at the 19th Festival of Harmony, on August 21st, 2010, sponsored by “Glorious”, Bangalore’s most celebrated Choral group. Under the baton of Ms Salome Rao and with accompaniment from Sub. Major Ravinder and his pupils at Inventure, on flute, guitar, keyboard and drums, this group of students from Grades 1 to 6 made a huge impact on an audience which celebrates the human voice in a variety of musical forms, year after year. There were participants from many schools and some groups of adults from the city and Hyderabad. Awesome...!

Complete entertainment...! best school choir of the evening...! excellent debut performance... were some of the comments from the audience, who were completely awe-struck by our choir!! A brilliant confident performance, full of spirit; it was hard for people to believe they were onstage in public for the first time.

The energetic dance moves, rock and roll jibes, splits and cart wheels got the audience cheering, screaming and clapping for our students.


Thanks to our talented music teachers, Salome and Ravi, Inventurers have been acclaimed in yet another area of learning and performance. The support of our colleagues, Mrs Meenakshi R, Ms Smith and Ms Priya, Mr Donovan was invaluable. They kept spirits up and indiscipline down! This takes some doing in such a large number of excited, keyed up, animated children!


Those who supported and inspired deserve a mention and a heap of thanks too…


We want to thank Nooraine for all the support, Shaheen and Mallika Ma'am for organizing time for practice, Jagrithi Ma'am and Mrs.Benjamin for the constant guidance and support.

Heartfelt gratitude to all the enthusiastic parents especially to Shikha Rana who stepped in to help us get the kids ready to go on stage.

Want to thank Preet especially for ALL the help in coordinating with the parents, your assistance allowed us to focus more on the music while we could rest assured knowing that you would take care of the rest. BIG thankyou to Varsha for taking care of ticket sales !! Also want to thank the grade teachers and subject teachers for sending the students for choir practices that were held durings their class time.

Last but not the least where would we be without our amazing and talented kids who exceeded all expectations with their phenominal performance. We hope that this is the first of many more such performances in the future!

I would like to thank all the teachers who went the extra mile to make this possible. This is what's so great about Inventure, that kids get an exposure to variety of activities to expand their horizons. I was so very proud as well as surprised to see our choir performance, everybody was out of this world. The hard work you all put into it really showed in the flawless execution. So congratulations to all the students and teacher and administration. What can I say, keep up the great work...

Awesome performance by the kids. They were simply too good! Thanks Salome & Ravi sir for bringing out the best in every child. What made Inventure stand out was:
a) The choice of songs - some excellent foot-tapping numbers to promote peace & harmony instead of some purely biblical hymns
b) The mix of students from both junior and senior groups. Most other schools had only senior children performing.

Last but not the least a big Thank You to Inventure for not only giving the kids such varied exposure but also to groom them so well to present themselves confidently to the outside world.

Thank you Nooraine for all the efforts that you and your able staff puts in to make parents of every Inventurite proud of their children and Inventure. Keep it up!!

Such a rocking performance is hard to believe considering that it was Inventure's maiden attempt at the choir.

Last but not the least a big Thank You to Inventure for not only giving the kids such varied exposure but also for grooming them so well to present themselves confidently to the outside world.

Thank you Nooraine for all the efforts that you and your able staff puts in to make parents of every Inventurite proud of their children and Inventure. Keep it up!!
