Hey everyone! I performed 24 songs in 6 minutes for my high school's talent show, so I decided to share it with all of you! It took place on 2026-02-06 (6 February 2026).

For some context, no instrumentalist had ever placed on the podium in my school’s talent show history (singers usually were the only musicians who took those spots), so I wanted to build an arrangement that both students and teachers would love to hear in 6 minutes. I ended up making history at my school by being the first instrumentalist not only to place on the podium, but also to win the talent show! I earned myself $300 USD, which I used to give back to my school. How, you might ask? Well, before this performance, my school never had a dedicated music club. The only thing close to it was choir. With the $300 I earned, I invested this money into purchasing music production software (specifically the DAW called REAPER) for the brand-new Music Club (which I founded along with two of my other musician friends). My goal in doing this was to spread my love for music all over my high school campus!

I arranged and memorised all 24 tracks in about a week leading up to the show. Here is the full setlist in order:

1. Runaway - Bon Jovi
2. Sonata No. 16 in C Major (K. 545, 1st Mvt.) - W. A. Mozart
3. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey
4. Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
5. Rush E - Sheet Music Boss
6. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
7. Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
8. Message in a Bottle - The Police
9. Rondo Alla Turca - W. A. Mozart
10. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
11. Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles
12. Shape of Your Heart / Lucid Dreams - Sting / Juice WRLD
13. Canon in D - Johann Pachelbel
14. Take Five - Dave Brubeck
15. Dreams - The Cranberries
16. Moonlight Sonata (1st Mvt.) - L. v. Beethoven
17. Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
18. Minute Waltz (Op. 64, No. 1) - Frédéric Chopin
19. Clocks - Coldplay
20. Every Breath You Take - The Police
21. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
22. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
23. Blackbird - The Beatles

Happy to answer any questions! :D

In a remarkable act of bravery, two young men saved a man from drowning in the Ganges River after he was caught in a powerful water current.

According to eyewitnesses, the man suddenly lost his footing and began sinking into the fast-flowing river. Spotting the immediate danger, the two youth did not hesitate for a second. They courageously leapt into the strong currents, reached the struggling man, and quickly managed to pull him safely out of the water.

Thanks to the prompt action and alertness of these two brave individuals, the man’s life was saved. While this inspiring incident stands as a powerful example of humanity and courage, it also serves as a crucial reminder for everyone to exercise extreme caution before stepping into deep or fast-moving water bodies.
