Mumbai: It was a massive display of talent at the Hyderabad Public School’s annual day celebration held on the school premises in Begumpet on Friday evening. While annual days generally see a wide range of cultural performances on stage, the school decided to try something new this time and brought together all the students and teachers to stage a single, classic play, The Sound of Music.

Young kids showcasing their talent

Over 400 students from pre-primary to Class XII participated in the show which was witnessed by an audience of over 1,000 people, comprising mostly parents. The presentation was a culmination of nearly two months of practice that followed an intense audition procedure where students were selected based on their abilities to play the various characters.
