Singing is the hidden language of the soul and is also an act of creation.
Music binds our heart, soul and emotions. It is the best method of relaxation. It cheers the spirit and lightens the heart. Infact through singing children learn to express their feelings and thoughts.
To bring out the singing talents of young Thaddeusians an Inter House Singing Competition was organised at St. Jude’s School in memory of the Late Mr. I.L.G. Mann, a visionary in the field of education found solace in music. He loved both life and music.
The melodious songs pulled the heart strings of the audience. Each house showed their mastery over voice modulation, pitch, rhythm and tone. They had to sing songs from the years 1980 to 1990.
