Live singer for College Fests & Annual Days
Live music for college fests, annual days and farewells — songs students sing along to and a set that fits the stage plan.
Why Dharmik
The right voice for a college fest or annual day
College fests, annual days and farewells are about a crowd that wants to sing. Dharmik plays songs students know — Bollywood hits, party numbers and unplugged favourites — and fits the set to the programme and the stage plan. A crowd of students responds to energy before polish, so the set is built to build.
Education events have organisational quirks. A programme has many acts and a tight schedule; the stage is shared with other performers; the sound system is often the college’s own; and the audience can range from two hundred to several thousand. The singer needs the order, the slot and the sound details early.
A duo or an unplugged set suits a farewell; a four-piece suits a fest night; a full band suits the main stage. Share the audience size, the stage and the timings and a format is suggested.

The annual day and the fest
A college annual day or a cultural fest is run by students, for students, and the music has to speak to them. The programme is a series of performances, an awards ceremony and a closing act, and the singer is often the headliner who ends the evening. A school annual day includes parents and teachers, so the music is warm and wide.
Songs students sing along to
The set is built from songs students know: the biggest Bollywood hits of the last decade, a few evergreen favourites, some slower songs to break the pace and a closing round of dance tracks. The crowd sings along, and the singer lets them. Student committees often send a list of requests, and the set is shaped around it.
Working with a student committee
Student committees change every year, so the agreement should be in writing: the slot, the length, the sound, the stage and the payment. The college’s own sound and lighting crews are consulted, and a rehearsal before the event avoids surprises. Campuses have security procedures for equipment, which the band follows.
