C1: In William Congreves play, The Mourning Bride, the opening act begins

with the quote, Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. What this means
is that, music has the power to enchant even the roughest of people.
C2: This quote is an age-old example of the importance of music in the vast
stream of entertainment, especially in drama. Good evening and welcome to the
fourth annual Founders Day of Pathways School Noida. We thank all of you for
taking time out of your busy schedules to join us on this much anticipated night.
*Introduce the guests here*
C2: Here at Pathways School Noida, we recognize the importance of how music,
when combined with drama, creates a new variety of entertainment and
Founders is our way of expressing this. For us Pathwayzians, Founders has
always been something that weve held close to our hearts. The amount of love,
effort and dedication our students have put into this event is near unbelievable.
Day after day, rehearsal after rehearsal, each and every one of the students has
contributed in their own little yet monumental way.
C1: We all hope that you will enjoy the fruits of our labour, and that we can do
justice to the much famed and much anticipated musical- The Lion King.
C2: The early learners program at Pathways Noida is an avenue for children to
obtain an international education before their years of Primary Schooling. It
stimulates their interest, making them learners for life. Through play, the
children develop into confident communicators, problem solvers and clearminded individuals.
C1: And what better way for the youth of Pathways to exhibit these qualities on
Founders day. With a performance on animals living the jungle life, please
welcome Pathways early learners with a resounding round of applause.
C2: If there was a word that could surpass adorable, then I think these
youngsters are worthy to be highly regarded with it. Such glamour and class!
Lets hear it for them once again!
*Lighting of the lamp*
C1: We would now like to request our honorable director, Dr. Shalini Advani to
come on stage and address the gathering.
