RaGaJam III on 20-Feb

All - Thanks for your presence, participation, and encouragement. 49 performances covering Bharatanatyam (students of Smt. Ramaa Venugopalan, Lakshmi Kalaalayam), Veena, Bhavageethe, Keyboards and Guitars, WOW!!! To completely close the loop as part of the learning process, requesting all students (those who performed as well as those who came to listen and observe) to talk to their respective teachers during their next class. A small discussion will help exchange notes and get a better understanding of areas that worked well and areas of improvement.

Would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers without whose help an event of this magnitude could never have been put together. Highly grateful to our friendly neighbourhood AXIS BANK, RBI Layout (as Mr Jayanth rightly put it when he addressed the gathering during the break!) for co-sponsoring this event with Music Gear.

A special thanks to all those who stayed on (even after their performances) to cheer and support the others. For all those who have upcoming examinations, wishing you all the Very Best. Show the same passion for preparing for your exams as you did for for this event. This would be our way of acknowleding Prof. Vinod Kumar's (www.motivocean.org) views on how to work on being the best in whatever we set out to do. Thanks Prof, for your time and enthusiastic presence till we all packed up!

Hope to post some links to videos & pics as we receive them ...

Thanks - RaGa Team
