Prior to the highly anticipated field demo, students from all grades at ISNHS enthusiastically participated in a colorful parade, showcasing their creativity and school spirit through elaborate festival props. The parade served as a vibrant prelude to the main event, generating excitement and anticipation among students, faculty, and spectators alike. As the festivities unfolded, a spirited competition for the most disciplined grade added an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie to the proceedings. Section Marconi's triumph in this competition not only reflected their commitment to discipline but also united them in a shared sense of pride and accomplishment. This accolade serves as a testament to the dedication and character of the students, highlighting their role as ambassadors of the school's values and traditions.

The eagerly awaited field demo commenced with electrifying performances by students from grades 7 to 10, each showcasing their unique interpretations of different festivals.

After the lunchtime festivities, members of the Yes-O and Science clubs eagerly set up their respective booths, offering an array of enticing items and activities for attendees. As a participant in the booth selling ukay-ukay items, I found myself immersed in the hustle and bustle of salesmanship, employing various strategies to attract customers and make sales. From engaging in lively conversations to showcasing the unique features of our products, every effort was made to entice potential buyers and drive sales. Despite the challenges, the experience provided valuable lessons in teamwork, communication, and resilience, fostering a sense of camaraderie among club members. As the day progressed, the booths buzzed with activity, drawing in crowds of eager attendees eager to support their peers and contribute to the success of the fundraiser.
