After almost two years of the pandemic, St. Xavier’s Collegiate School celebrated its annual inter-school cultural festival X-Uberance, in association with The Telegraph. X-Uberance, which is all about exemplifying excellence, was held across three days from October 14-16, and had 17 schools participating from all over Kolkata. The pulsating energy could be felt in the air and the students beamed with excitement upon getting to showcase their talents in various events such as in music, dance, sports, curriculum and many more. The flagship event was the western band competition, X-Acoustic, which upped the energy with powerful performances.
(L-R) Riddham Kr. Agarwal, Dhruv Rampuria and Shubham Kothari, the conveners and organisers of the fest. “It is a great feeling to be back on the school field after two years and seeing everyone running around and putting their best into organising this. We came up with #BiggestFestEver for X-Uberance to amplify that the fest is going to be celebrated at a bigger level post-pandemic and the turnout has been great,” said Dhruv.
