Temple University Bhangra

Performers: Kammini Ragoopath, Bilal Badruddin, Lindsay Thomas, Aparna Sagaram, Manisha Modi, Rishi Bobby, Reshma Roy, Chandrika Patel, Fatima Pervaiz, Roshni Patel, Dimple Gandhi, Christina Paul

Darwin's Theory of "Survival of the Fittest," can basically sum up the history of Temple Bhangra And Giddah. Many people have tried to create a Bhangra team at the university, but have failed; until a group of talented and hard-working students banned together, creating the formula for success. Thus, coming this far has been an accomplishment in itself. TU Bhangra held its first auditions in the fall of 2007, where the team of 10 was selected. The team had many opportunities to perform at different shows; however, intended their first performance to be in front of fellow Temple students. The Indian Students Association at Temple (ISAT)'s annual show was the group's first performance. As the dance was a huge success, the support of the team grew tremendously. This year, the team has three returnees from the 2007-2008 team.

Many people doubted the three; however, the trio worked together to hold auditions. The team now has 12 members, the overwhelming majority being girls. The team also changed their name to Temple Bhangra And Giddah in order to show that this is a new beginning.

They would like to thank Drexel VOICE for allowing them to share their talents and skills with you again tonight. We would also like to thank our past audiences for allowing us to go on.
