The fest, held at 15 venues, witnessed a mix of emotions and individual achievements on the third day. Tempers ran high at Holy King’s parish hall, which was the venue of mime competition in the higher secondary category. Poor audio facilities, which had marred the otherwise excellent performances in the drama competition held in the high school category on Tuesday, continued on Wednesday. The loss of audio midway during a performance led to protests by accompanying teachers and parents. The snag was rectified later.
