Music Club

The Music Club is the fraternity of all the music lovers at BVM Holy Cross College. The Music Club aims to promote taste and talent amongst students by organising workshops and performances. The club conducts various activities throughout the year and has an existence in all the big and small events taking place at the college, since everything feels incomplete without a touch of music in it. An efficient music band is also functioning under the Music Club.
