Library Ground of the university on Saturday night. Hundreds of students enjoyed
the musical night as the LUMS Music Society celebrated its 10th anniversary with

full capacity later on. Stalls of edibles were set up to facilitate the
students. The ground was beset with tents. Bands: Professional bands like Entity

for the concert were commendable. Apart from an appropriate stage that seemed to
be proportionate to the ground size, LCD screens were also set up to help the
audience get a closer picture of the stage. Sounds of booing and applause
resounded in the venue. Hammad, a student, said the event had been both
colourful and fabulous. The achievements of the LUMS Music Society were
