St. Andrew’s All Bandra Zonals makes a long-awaited return this weekend. The annual event, which has been paused due to COVID restrictions, returns for its 65th presentation this year tomorrow (Sunday).

With humble beginnings from the Bosco Hall to a much larger auditorium, the Zonals gives everyone a chance to portray their talent and passion. Msgr. Nereus Rodrigues, the curator of the Andrean Zonals, worked along with a couple of other people from the Parish in 1953 and watched his brainchild grow larger with each passing year. What started off as the Andrean Zonal Talent Contest, with the demarcation of different zones each year, has now grown to become the St. Andrews All Bandra Parish Talent Contest. Initially, singing and theatre were the two main attractions; now, as times have changed, the Zonals have evolved to include performances such as elocution, poster painting, choir singing, instrumental sets and dancing. 

The Zonals will begin from tomorrow, August 14, until September 4 and here’s the full schedule for this year:
