Battle of the Bands + was a feast for music enthusiasts. The competition sought
the best professional-level band in two categories of music, eastern and
western. Sparsh United, the winner in the eastern category, was spirited,
soulful and won the crowds over with their brilliant performance. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Day four did not fall short in terms of fun. With events
like Centrestage, Pro Battle and Choreonite planned for the day, it was all
about dancing. Centre Stage, the largest annual theatre event of SRM
University, saw highly-talented theatre artistes from different colleges
putting on a show. The themes they touched upon were poignant and relevant to
day-to-day situations. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Pro Battle was a proper break dancing competition. Each
of the participants displayed a great amount of skill, spontaneity and stamina.</span>
