New Delhi [India], December 20: The Furtados School of Music audaciously executed the eighth edition of Band-It—India’s biggest inter-scholastic performing arts festival—on Children’s Day, 14 November, at the Annabhau Sathe Auditorium in Mumbai. It successfully involved more than 3,000 students, parents, teachers, and prominent artists from the realm of arts, creating an environment charged with the excitement of creativity and performance.
Launched in 2017 as a platform for discovering talent in indie bands, Band-It has evolved into India’s most well-known performing arts competition featuring dance, speech, drama, and music. Furtados Music, a Western music education venture that began its services in 1865 in India, supports the scholarly mission of fostering creativity and excellence—an ongoing quest for FSM. In 2024, Band-It expanded its reach across eight cities in India: Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bangalore, Belgaum, and Delhi. This created an opportunity for students from various regions of the country to participate in the contest. The competition was divided into three rounds: online video submissions, followed by regional qualifiers, and culminating in the grand finale in Mumbai.
The venues chosen for this year’s competitions were provided in collaboration with esteemed venue partners: Ryan International School in Pune, Casagrand International School in Chennai, Sunflower Vedic School in Hyderabad, Aditya Noida Auditorium in Delhi, St. Paul’s College in Mumbai, JNMC Auditorium in Belgaum, and KLE Rajajinagar School in Bangalore. Their support created the perfect platform for the young stars to shine in such vibrant surroundings.
