“The theatrical skills of students always fascinate me. The students show issues in a new perspective. Of course, the drama competitions will be my favourite this time as they will mirror the current status of our society. Also, it gives one the feel of school days, when one used to act in a number of plays.”

“I do not know how I fell in love with the pulsating beats and moves of band shows at a very younger age. Here, I have a golden opportunity to watch a number of outstanding performances by some of the State’s well-trained school teams.”

“Denying students in the CBSE stream the opportunity to take part in the festival is unfair. They are also the children of Kerala; there are good artistes in those schools too.

“Drama and Mappillappattu are my favourite items. I do not know if I will be able to view these as the events are scheduled on working days.

“I would like to appreciate the great work done by the organisers behind the scene. This is no small work.”

“Being permanently assigned to Stage 2, I am unable to watch other events. My favourite event, Drama, was being held in the next compound and I am stuck here. But yes, this is fun, being part of running such a big festival.”
