Welcome to Mélange Total 5 2018
On July 7th and 8th 2018, we will be hosting Mélange Total 5, our annual interschool cultural festival, for the 8th consecutive year at G.D. Somani Memorial School. This inter-school event, which literally means an amalgam of 5 mega events, is organised and executed entirely by students of our school and has seen active participation from schools across Mumbai with 21 schools participating at the 7th edition of Melange Total 5 last year.
Spread across two full days, Mélange Total 5 2018 will see about 2500 students from 22 schools around Mumbai participating.
