Dear members,
Padma Mohan
With
Divine's blessings, our Bharata Darshanam event was a great success and
every single one of the 600+ audience who attended the show will attest
to that. Our musicians took us on a wonderful musical journey from
Kashmir to Kanyakumari and I am sure everyone was reminded of a part of
their childhood and wonderful memories of India during some part of the
show! Like our chief guest Ambassador Venkatesan Ashok said, these
musicians brought the best of India with unity in diversity. Salute them
all!
CCC musicians:
Everyone in CCC is so grateful to you for presenting such a phenomenal
show. We all got to enjoy your months of hard work that created this
magical experience for all of us and on behalf of all the members, I'd
like to offer our sincere appreciation and thanks for making it
possible.Â
CCC Volunteers: Thank
you is not sufficient for all the hard work you put in to make the
program a success. You all proved that we are not a group or an
organization, but a family. The largest, musically inclined family in
the bay area! Love you all. BTW, I am attaching the ppt that we had
created thanking you but I am not sure if you got to see it as the music
on stage was so engrossing. I am sure I have forgotten to thank someone
here, please accept my apologies and thank yous.
CCC Members:
If you attended the event (and I am sure you would have enjoyed it),
please share your comments/thoughts with the group. It'll give great
satisfaction to the musicians and volunteers if they received good
feedback as that has the power to make all efforts worth it. I don't
deserve all the compliments, the teachers need to hear it if the content
was amazing, powerpoint volunteers need to hear it if the presentation
was good, Audio team needs to hear it if you were blown away by how they
controlled the 24 microphones, just to give you a hint.Â
Both
of our photographers were busy with another event today so we'll share
the photos a bit later. Thank you all again for your very kind and
enthusiastic support to Bharata Darshanam! Bharat Mata ki Jai!
Regards,
