The troupe performed a traditional rendition of drum orchestra at the event.
The event took place on open grounds in front of the S. Thomas’ College library and is famously known to be one of the biggest outdoor band concerts in Sri Lanka. All the performances were well appreciated by all those who were present.
The music of the entire event was mainly focused on the Sri Lankan eastern music culture but also featured fusions of different types of music. Many invited schools showcased the best of their talents.
