Concerts are common to all kinds of schools, high schools , universities and other firms, when the time I was in Mahailluppallama sub campus university of Peradeniya we also had a nice concert called Pallama. The specialty of the Pallama is outside helps are not allowed, means ; no musical groups can be involved, no other professional singers or actors are allowed on the stage.
If it says in simple words stage also should be made using simple non cost materials. But the show is very popular among villagers, and the staff members of university of Peradeniya . Normally pallama is scheduled on 30th or 31st of December. But when we prepare to our Pallama the faculty (faculty of agriculture) forced us not to do Pallama this time. The reason for that was the senior batch had spend lot of money for Pallama.
Anyhow with the help of our senior batch and some staff members we were allowed to do Pallama show. fortunately I also was a member of Pallama organizing committee. We planned lots of events to perform as in a usual show, but the most difficult things came behind us, the most conflict problem was to built the stage……
We thought about number of methods but all of them were not practical. Suddenly a tractor went opposite to us on the road, it gave a hint to make the stage on tractor trailers. Yes finally the 08/09 Pallama stage was established on three tractor trailers astonishing the visitors.
I should say that the staff and temporarily staff gave us a great support to make our dream true, with the kind help of the 07/08 batch and our batch mates we were able to present a wonderful Pallama show.
Mr Madushan was the main organizer of our show Mr Dinushka ,Mr malintha, Mr Mahesh, Mr Omal and I were with Madushan in the committee.
How ever at the end of the Pallama so many funny things happened which can’t mention on this blog….. J J J J pallama video
