My First Stage Experience with BigDeal, Proud to be a part of Sangeetha Megam[AdventNet]

October 15, 2007

Kumaran silks padum office, runs a music contest for corporates, another way this can be called as BigDeal. This is the first time, gets telecasted in air by the mass media, Vijay TV, a star group. As per the plan, for the group event light music was on sat, 13-oct-2007. The event was about to start by 5 P.M in the evening. The event was opened with classical contest, where more than 100 participants took part and dragged up to night 9 P.M. Almost all others were fed up with the way the shooting was happened. It was very slow, and there were no proper planning at their work which made few people to lo0se their tempermant. It was 8 p.m they have called all the group captains to choose their lots. In that sangeetha megam band from AdventNet are the most luckiest one. The got the first slot, and all most all the top 6 lots were very happy.

There were totally 14 teams about to participate, and things were going smoothly. As time is getting more and more delayed for the light music event to start, a group of people started protesting and they started hitting the directors of the show. Almost a tensed situation prevailed, where a group of people got a serious clash with the show runner James Vasanthan.

It was 10, and the light music time was about to start and the first team sangeetha megam from adventnet went to the stage and they were very busy in setting up the stage. Almost the stage was set, the drama began, a group of people in front of the stage started protesting against. The whole auditorium got stunned by the way of their behaviour.

The show runner, James Vasanthan made a real good strategic move which was worth at that time and accepted by all. The show got post ponded to next sunday. All the people were so happy and they left the auditorium with the smile. Last but not the least, I should not forget to appreciate James Vasanthan for his strategic move and also for his cool mind.

PS: All the very best for the teams going to perform their events on upcoming sunday. Hope that would be a nail biting event.

Regards


Big Deal, Corparate Musical Show

October 8, 2007

BigDeal, yet another golden opportunity for the people who lives music as dream and music as food, which is going to get kickstarted in vijay tv, with a small difference, where corporate people are to perform. James Vasanthan, a very famous show runner is the chief organizer for this Big Deal. Various corporates like Xansa,HCL, AdventNet blows the show. BigDeal was started few years back and first time it was”Sangeetha Megam” from AdventNet was the winner, and the next year they came second behind the leaders Xansa. It was a very tough fight between them and finally xansa has looted the trophy by whisker of point.

This time, i am going to represent Sangeetha Megam band as a part of AdventNet. My carrer first stage musical experience as a whole band. I’m very proud about this but ….. I have entered the band with a bit of hesitation, cos almost all of them had real good handful experience. Voices trembled, body chilled out and mind went black. Rajesh, the band leader, an energetized role model gave me enough confidence to take participate in that. Each and everyone in the team outclass others in their own way.

Our Lead Guitarist Sriram, shortly to be called maams, is a perfect example of it. He rocks, i mean he test his guitar with a rock distortion. A very good sense of humour with timely comedy attacks are some of his very best identifications.

Ramesh[ "yaani"] — Keyboard artist. Not only in keyboard, also he can play drums, and make chord movements in guitar. Always try to mix up two to three songs as remix and call it as a new composition. Genuine guy flooded with amazing talents. Spontaneous composition is his strength. Positive runner, perfect time-management[FILO- First In Last Out],highly responsible.

Romanus- “Master of chords”, never makes his presense most explicit, a silent man with a neat gesture. Shares some of his valuable points to the right people at the right time. Oops, i have mentioned him as a chord genius, right. His extended talk will be on suspended node with major on leaving the minor keys :-( same way even i don’t understand, that’s why he is genius.

Kanickaraj – As smooth as rythm of life, an example of perfect rhythm guitarist. Soft character with lollu talks are some of his characteristics, that too if i get caught to him, then its a total damage. Totally a well designed rythm artist.

Simmi – Female singer, not quite familiar with tamil, as she is mallu, finds very difficulty in pronouncing tamil words. A good singer, gets her often very complexed sometimes.

Jim- “Howling Bass guitarist”, a very energetic guy, plays the bass guitar for the first time in his life. Humorous talk is his strength, feels lazy to write down the notes in paper.

To join a team like this is something special and to achieve a dream with this team is something more than my life. With my parent’s blessings and all of my team members blessings I have laid myself down to the street of music where I feel its richness and I found my life somewhere in the corner of the street.
