The Art of Compering

Introduction :
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I extend a very warm and heartfelt welcome to you, on behalf of our college. Today we have organised an evening of song, dance and pageantry for you, giving you a quick, exotic taste of India. We welcome you in our midst in the traditional Indian way, with Kumkum tilak on the forehead. It is ‘red’ to signify the auspicious occasion. The ‘aarti’ will remove the evil eye with sacred fire and the trumpet, signalling the beginning of the function.
Lighting of the lamp:
I call upon our chairperson Ms ………… to light the lamp to signify the opening of our event.

Performances
Entry 1 : Let’s get into the mood and enjoy the scintillating Lavani performance!
Now put your hands together for a round of applause for this wonderful performance.
Entry 2 : Nagaland is one of the culturally rich North Eastern states of India. The Jhelian bamboo Naga dance hails from this state.That was an awesome performance.
Entry 3 : Jhelian means butterfly. The dance attempts to imitate the movements of the butterfly and the dancers wear clothes as colorful as a butterfly’s wings. Their movements too are as delicate and graceful as a butterfly’s. The dancers wear costumes made of rabbit skin, deer and other animals. The special attraction of this dance is that, the dancers jump on bamboos as they dance with great energy and stamina.
Give them a huge round of applause.
Entry 4 : Let’s now welcome our vibrant North-Eastern dancers for another captivating performance!
Entry 5 : Closing address:
We were transported into the world of folk, the natural spring of the human heart. As we come to the end of this beautiful, colorful evening, let us carry with us memories of a time well spent.
Entry 6 : Vote of thanks:
No programme would be a success without a dedicated team of people who work tirelessly behind the scenes. I take this opportunity to thank each and every member of the organizing team for putting up this brilliant show and transporting us to the plentiful fields of India. We are extremely grateful to our guests for their gracious presence. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the choreographers, set designers, light operators and the technical support team without whom this programme would not have been possible.
Last, but not the least, thank you audience for being so supportive and responsive.
