Inception 2016 At GIM Turns Out To Be A Musical Extravaganza
Goa Institute of Management recently organized Inception 2016, an enthralling musical event that brought together exciting talents on one stage.
- (1888PressRelease) February 20, 2016 - What started as a musical evening 5 years ago has grown into an Annual Music Summit, which students look forward to. This year the event was held on the Sanquelim campus of the institute on the 6th of February. It was, to say the least, a night to remember.
Over the years, several big names from the world of music have made their presence felt at the Inception event, including Dill Vineet, Manmohan Raj, Welsey Aaron, Mohd, Arif Ali, Chaitanya, and Sangeet Haldipur. New names were added to the list this year, contributing to the magical evening that hit all the right notes with the audience.
Proceedings began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp, and a dance performance set the ambience for activities to follow. Pitch Perfect, the solo singing competition, has remained one of the major highlights of Inception and this year was no different, as it led to an intense competition on stage. Finally, it was Abhishek Sharma, who walked away with the top prize. Nishad Matonkar and Gavin Dsouza were the first and second runners-up, respectively.
The Group Dance performance had the audience grooving before Chuck Gopal, aka Deepak Gopalakrishnan, took to the stage for his stand-up comedy act. He was on campus for a second year in a row and presented his unique brand of humor that had the audience in splits throughout the performance. His gags about B Schools, politics and various other topics were well-received by the appreciative gathering.
They were in for another treat as the War of Bands commenced. Within Ceres, Trinity Apocalypse, War Within, GKK Band, Livewire and Placement Cell were the bands that fought for the honours and a cash prize of Rs. 20,000. Within Ceres bagged the top prize and, of course, bragging rights. War Within was the first runner-up and received a cash prize of Rs. 10,000. All the bands had made a lasting impression on the memorable evening.
As the competitions ended, it was time for the headlining act by the Hyderabad-based band - Akshar. The Indie Rock band, known for renditions of some of the classics of Indian music, made a huge impact on the audience and was a fitting finale to the evening. GIM had also organized food counters for the audience to devour. But the music they had heard was definitely food for their soul.
