What?
Telugu Songs Quiz Event… the first of its kind in the US!

When?
June 8, 2013 from 2: 00 - 9: 00 PM

Where?
Windemere Ranch Middle School, San Ramon, Bay Area (California)

Organized By:
ChimataMusic.com and Spandana Foundation


ChimataMusic.com, in association with the local non-profit Spandana Foundation, organized a splendid never-done-before-in-US-on-a-national-level Quiz based on only the Telugu songs (ranging from all decades starting from 50's until the 90's and a few of the recent most ones as well) for nearly six hours. Srinivasa Rao Chimata, the founder of ChimataMusic.com, along with his friends Suresh Mantrala and Viswandh Bokkisam, designed the whole quiz concept. While SirishaHomes, WellsFargo and NamasthePlaza sponsored the event, the local Virijallu Radio (Vijaya Aasuri and Kalyan Kattamuri) gave an extensive coverage to the event. Santa Clara based Paradise Biriyani restaurant catered delicious food to all attendees.

Venkat Chennubhotla, who flew all the way from Atlanta to the Bay Area, anchored the event and his graceful anchoring added up a good value to the event. Srinivas Chimata introduced Venkat to the audiences as a multi-talented passionate music lover, who regularly would organize Anthyakshari events on the east coast and that the west coast would be honored to have him as a special invitee in this event. A few other Telugu celebrities in the US such as Sarada Akunuri (ex-President of Houston Telugu Association, a renowned singer, and also the TANA Cultural Chair) also flew to the Bay Area to exclusively participate in the fun event. A full team of passionate music lovers (Ramaa Akella, Radhika Nygapula, Divakar Somanchi, Padma Varanasi etc) from Sacramento-Folsom, CA had formed a facebook group called “Gongoora” and got prepared for the event by putting 3, 4 months long effort.

Srinivas Chimata, Suresh Mantrala and Srinivas Thirunagaru handled playing the audio and video clips for the participants. Viswanadh Bokkisam and Sreeram Gundu were the scorers and they announced the quiz results on a regular basis through out the event. KiranPrabha, the editor of Koumudi.net, delivered the inauguration speech and commended the unique efforts and services by Srinivas Chimata to the nostalgic Telugu songs in form of music web site, regular musical concerts, books on the Music directors and quiz events. Below is his speech in pristine Telugu.

తెలుగు సినిమా పాట తెరమీద కనిపించేది మూడు నిమిషాలే ఐనా ఒక్కోపాట వెనుక ఎంతో శ్రమ, కృషి, సృజనాత్మకత ఉంటుంది. అలాంటి తెలుగు సినిమా పాట గౌరవాన్ని గుర్తిస్తూ, విదేశీగడ్డ మీద కూడా తెలుగుసినిమా పాట ఔన్నత్యాన్ని నిలబెట్టే వైవిధ్యభరితమైన కార్యక్రమాలు నిర్వహిస్తున్న చిమట శ్రీనివాస్ ఎంతైనా అభినందనీయులు. వీరు నిర్వహించిన సినిమాపాటల కార్యక్రమాలన్నీ వేటికవే ప్రత్యేకం. సంగీతదర్శకులకి, గాయకులకి, రచయితలకి అంకితం చేస్తూ చిమట శ్రీనివాస్ నిర్వహించిన కార్యక్రమాలు ప్రవాసాంధ్రులకి అద్వితీయమైన అనుభూతిని అందించాయి. అలానే ఆయన చేపట్టిన స్వర్ణయుగ సంగీత దర్శకులు పుస్తకం కూడా వారి విశిష్ట కృషికి నిదర్శనం. ఈరోజు చిమటమ్యూజిక్ ఏర్పాటు చేసిన 'పాడనా తెలుగు పాట ' సినిమా క్విజ్ కార్యక్రమం బహుశా ఈ కోవలో ప్రపంచంలోనే ఇదే మొదటి కార్యక్రమం అనుకుంటాను. ఉత్తర అమెరికాలో పలు ప్రాంతాలనుంచి ఆహ్వానితులైన తెలుగు సినీ గీతాభిమానులతో జరుగుతున్న ఈ కార్యక్రమం దిగ్విజయం కావాలని కోరుకుంటున్నాను.


Srinivas Chimata had created a googlegroup a few months ago exclusively for this event and polled the music lovers on a couple of items - the title of the event and the names of the five final teams. Out of all entries, finally the following entries were chosen - Nishigandha Yalamanchi's event titile, Kalasi Paadudaam... Telugu Paata and Sarada Akukuri's team names: Sangeetam, Saahityam, Aalaapana, Pallavi and Charanam. A lot of assiduous volunteers (Suresh Mantrala, Masthan Rao Chimata, Srinivas Thirunagaru, Viswanadh Bokkisam, Giri Lankipalle, Azad Aramandla, Hari Moola, Sireesha Palla, Alwal Reddy Putta, Veeraswamy Dadi, Veerababu Prathipati, Sreeram Gundu, Srivatsa Chimakurthi, Chaithanya Vadlamani, Sathish Babu Suda, Vamsi Nadella, Babu Movva and Bhaskar Bandikallu) worked very hard, along with Srinivas Chimata, for days and executed the whole event as smoother and professional as possible. Video coverage was done by Suraj and the still photography was handled by Srinivas Mangipudi.


Team Structure:
There were totally three major levels - Prelims (90 minutes), Pre-Finals (two and half hours) and Finals (two hours). More than 130 interested music enthusiasts had registered as the participants in the past few months and more than 100 people participated in the first level of Quiz.

In the first level, the names of the leads of each group were: Azad Aramandla, Babu Movva, Gayatri Palepu, Sarada Akunuri, Shantharam Gummaraju, Ramana Iduri, Ramaa Akella and Ravi Karri. Out of these eight groups, five made to the Pre-Finals level: Sangeetam (Ravi Karri's team); Saahithyam (Babu Movva's team); Aalaapana (Sarada Akunuri's team); Pallavi (Ramaa Akella's team) and Charanam (Ramana Iduri's team); Again, three of them could make it to the Finals level: Sangeetam (Ravi Karri's team); Aalaapana (Sarada Akunuri's team) and Charanam (Ramana Iduri's team). As a token of encouragement, the organizers let the good-performers from the outgoing teams join the final three teams as additional members so that the Finals round would get very competitive and interesting. All sign-boards of the five teams were artistically designed in beautiful Telugu by Srinivas Thirunagaru.


How was the Quiz Organized?
Srinivas Chimata, Suresh Mantrala and Viswanadh Bokkisam got almost 500 quiz questions ready (worked hard for a few weeks to record all those audio and video clips), but were able to ask around 200 quiz questions within the six hour long event duration.

Below is the break-up of the sub-rounds in each major level.

Sarada Akunuri and Ramana Iduri answered most of the quiz questions and got their teams in first and second places respectively. The rest of the participants also showed their immense talent and every one thoroughly enjoyed the whole event. Prior to the Finals round, Azad Aramandla of Spandana Foundation and Srinivas Chimata felicitated the three sponsors and thanked their partnership with this event.

Venkat Chennubhotla did an awesome anchoring/judging job through out the show and his mutli-faceted talent came out when he sang a few variety songs such as mimicking Md. Rafi and another song with both male and female voices. Upon her fans' request, the singer Sarada Akunuri (who has been singing in some of ChimataMusic concerts since the last three years on a regular basis) joined Venkat Chennubhotla for a fun-filled "Guvvaa Gorinkato" song from Khaidee number #786 during the dinner break prior to the Finals round. In the end, KiranPrabha felicitated the winner and runner teams and Srinivas Chimata thanked all volunteers and sponsors for their help in making this event a huge success.
