Cultural Procession

  1. The Cultural Procession is an additional event, and the results/marks of the Cultural Procession/March Past (along with other events) will be counted toward the Overall Championship Trophy. All universities are encouraged to participate in the Cultural Procession with the same spirit as other competitive events. The contingents may represent the culture of any State, Region, or National Integrity/Culture as a whole. There will be two types of participation in the Cultural Procession:
    • Introductory Participation Universities not performing any activity in the Cultural Procession will be classified under “Introductory Participation.” Before the last performance (of the host team/university), all participants under Introductory Participation will March together, and the Presenter/Anchor will announce the names of the universities and their Vice Chancellors. The organizing university will collect this information in advance.
    • Performance Participation (Demonstration/Performance of Cultural Troops) The Presenter/Anchor will announce the name of the performing university at the time of entry into the Cultural Procession, along with a positive note and the name of the Vice Chancellor.
  2. The Cultural Procession will be organized on the inaugural day before the formal inaugural ceremony. Team Managers/Contingent In-charges must compulsorily deposit two flags of their respective university at the desk near the registration desk. The flags will be hoisted on poles before the procession begins. The ideal flag size is 6' x 4'.
  3. Participating teams are advised to bring local/regional costumes to reflect their culture during the Cultural Procession/March Past.
  4. The host university will provide flag poles to all contingents for carrying and displaying flags during the procession.
  5. The previous year’s overall champion of the respective zonal festival will lead the procession, and the host university will be last.
  6. The sequence of the remaining teams will be in alphabetical order.
  7. The procession route can be 1–2 km long or more, depending on the space available at the host university. A stage/performance area will be provided at one point (towards the end) for teams to showcase their cultural performance for 3–5 minutes for Zonal Youth Festivals and 2-3 minutes for National Youth Festival.
  8. The procession will start with the “Flag Off” ceremony.
  9. Judgment of performances will begin from the start of the procession and continue until it is officially declared finished
  10. Participating universities may bring a university banner (not mandatory), preferably measuring 10' x 3', to be carried by the contingent during the procession.
  11. The host university will provide a PA system with three microphones and the provision for playing different recorded music/audio.
  12. Recorded music is allowed for Cultural Procession performances.
