On the 20th of October, 2012,
Pathways School Noida will be celebrating Founder’s Day. The theme for this
year is Internationalism. This topic is an ongoing theme at our school. A
phrase that was coined throughout the rehearsals, ‘multi-cultured’, seems to
fit us quite well. In the past few weeks we have also had external sources come
in and help us learn about different cultures.
I myself am in the music department. It is
a tiring task as music is an integral part of almost every culture and some of
the songs are in different languages. My favourite song would have to be the
Flamenco song. With the rolling ‘r’s and strange and unknown words, the song is
rather intriguing. It took us about 5 classes to master the lyrics and another
week to get the timing. The work seemed worthwhile when we paired it with the
dance. I think we have managed to set the feel for Flamenco. I can’t wait to
perform it on Founders Day!
The other items for music include Tarana,
Through Heaven’s Eyes and a separate Inauguration song. Tarana is a piece of
classical Indian Music while Through Heaven’s Eyes is a fusion of music from
around the world. The Inauguration piece is sung by only some students and is
in Sanskrit.
The final song is “We Are the World”, a
very famous piece of music by Michael Jackson. The lead singers start off the song with
everyone who is part of Founders joining them on stage. I hope we manage to
carry the song off well! In short, I cannot wait for Founders Day!
