"It is a way to promote our culture. This where we meet, this is where we share and interpret the ideas we have. We came together today and the program was very successful. This shows our unity," said a student, Zeinorin Stephen.
"We do not have much platform sometime we perform in such type of occasion, but we just stuck so it is very good to give us platform. I knew that we can compete to anybody in the world but just that we lack of platform. It is a good thing which we can introduce so many new upcoming music bands and also encourage other bands," said Themreishang, Vocalist, Epistles Music band.
