In the primary solo category, the student Choo Yi Kang peaked with his first prize performance of "爱在人间" on the first night. Karuna Tan then carried that momentum into the second night with the song “Blessings” and defeated the worthy competitors from eight other schools in the secondary solo category. The secondary group performance on a rendition of '慧灯普照' had prompted the judges to medal them with second prize in category D. The nine students of the secondary group were Ho Yuan Zhan, Melvin Lee, Chan Qi Hua, Clarissa Lee, Karuna Tan, Ng Xeyiing, Ng Xelynn, Magdeline Chu, and Mudita Tan. The primary choir team also impressed the crowd, when being announced the third prize winner in category B. The junior team comprised students Chan Yu, Upekkha Tan, Metta Tan, Neville Lee, Choo Yi Kang won the heart of the judges with the song entitled “My Destiny”.
Members of Nalanda Vidyalaya were over the moon to win the Challenge Trophy this year. After being asked how they felt, one of the students said, “Today is a very happy day for me! Thank to my teacher, facilitators and all my friends. This is the best experience for me, Hooray to Nalanda!” All in all the competition has successfully increased the appreciation of students towards Buddhist Hymns and the spirit to propagate the Buddha Dhamma through Buddhist compositions and songs. Congratulations, Nalanda Vidyalaya!
