Calcutta Boys’ School hosted their inter-school fest Concord 2023 from 25 July to 27 July 2023. At its forty-first year, the event claims to be the oldest inter-school fest in the city. 22 schools from across West Bengal participated in a multitude of events.
The finals of the fest took place at Kala Mandir, with events such as western dance, fashion show and western band, as well as the overall prize distribution ceremony. The celebrations were brought to a close with a power-packed performance by singer Aaryan Banthia.
Speaking to Edugraph, Riddhimaan Halder, Senior Co-ordinator of Calcutta Boys' School, stated, “The takeaway from CONCORD 2023 for the participants, in my opinion, is the spirit of fellowship and harmony. The event is designed for the youth of the city to exhibit their talent in (sports and) the performing arts, not just to win and lift a trophy, but to create memories and cherish them forever.”
The students from all participating schools put their best feet forward for every event, which included football, basketball, moot court, beatboxing, shark tank and many more. Modern High School for Girls was declared the winner of Concord 2023, and La Martiniere for Boys was the first runner up.
