On 13Th and 14Th of September several ancient Tribes got together and fought their battle in St. Andrew’s College. The theme for XYZ 2012 this year was, The Ultimate Battlefield and all the participating colleges were allotted each tribe as their contingent. Colleges across Mumbai participated in the Battlefield and fought the battle for their place.

The ancient tribes seen in XYZ 2012-The Ultimate Battlefield were The Spartans, Comanches, French Musketeers, Samurais, Ninjas, Pirates, Rajputs, Persian Immortals, Gorkhas, Viet Congs, Aztec Jaguars, Celts, etc. I know you must be wondering how chaotic and fierce the atmosphere in St. Andrew’s College would have been; but the OC team had managed to set the right atmosphere for the participants and also kept the competitive spirit alive in each participant.

The XYZ Team co-ordinated with all the contingents very efficiently, from the administration desk in the morning to the auditorium in the evening. The main events included the radio event- Bol Bachan which was judged by Nikhil Chinappa, the famous VJ from MTV and RJ Glen. Besides this, all the auditorium events i.e. Band, Fashion Show and Dance were a great hit. The main event XYZ is very famous for and a very apt event for this year’s theme was the Treasure Hunt. The Ninjas were successful in exploring Bandra and winning their Treasure Hunt battle.

Pratika Prabhune, Treasure Hunt event head said “At first I didn’t know if the whole idea of having the treasure hunt with a new level of difficulty would work and I was terribly nervous because I was getting word that somewhere in the first round no one had figured out clues at all. But the Ninjas were fast enough to complete the first round in an unexpected half-hour’s time. Then I thought the game is working after all. My junior, Kieth from FYBMM really made some of the best clues, without which the hunt would have been nothing. At the end of XYZ, Treasure Hunt was one of the most talked about event and that’s what made me extremely proud.”

The other events happened in the Ultimate Battlefield will be continued in the next article. The Ultimate Tribe will also be revealed in the coming article. Keep your fingers crossed!!!
