Spring Spree

Spring Spree is the annual cultural festival held by the students of the National Institute of Technology, Warangal. Almost 25 years old, it had very humble beginnings when the batch of ’82 ( there after known as the "Spring Spree batch" ) decided to join hands and start a fest would which allow talents from all over the country to meet, compete and have a few days of frolic and fun. Since then, Spring Spree has never looked back, ranking among the major fests of Andhra Pradesh and India.

Spring Spree is an assortment of cultural activities comprising of dance, music, art, literary and quizzing activities along with performances by professional artistes throughout the three days during which the fest is held.

Pronites

Undoubtedly the most awaited part of the Spree every year, these nights see artistes of repute performing live. While the previous years have seen both bands and solo artists of repute the world over, the coming years promise much more in terms of entertainment and sheer enjoyment.

Music

Warangal, being at the heart of erstwhile Kakatiya culture, is not new to music. While the types and ethos underlining today's music might bear a stark contrast to that of the past, Spring Spree has seen musical displays of a level unique by its own nature. The rock music competition is slated to hit an all time high with this times event scheduled to be broadcast live on national television.

Art

A flair for creativity has always been appreciated at Spree and the art events hold a testimonial to this fact. Showcasing the talents of various amateur artists, the national level art exhibition, "Chitr" has enjoyed being in the limelight and is a must-see part of Spring Spree. With fresh events ever ready on the palette, art events are all set to paint out a whole new world of fun and frolic.

Dance & Dramatics

This category of the arts has seen an unprecedented rise in fan following over the past few years. While choreo nights usually fill the air with resounding beats of rhythm accompanied with equally synchronized movements of the human body, dance at the Spree is bound to beat even faster in the years to come. Though not as popular as the dance events, dramatics enjoys a commanding reputation at the fest too, treating audiences to soul stirring theater performances.

Literary and Debating

Over the years, the literary circle at NITW has evolved to a level, matched by very few peer colleges. While being a cut above the rest in terms of quality , the literary and debating events continue to enjoy a nation wide reputation and often see the best talents across the country fighting it out for major honours.

Quizzing

The tradition of quizzing in NIT Warangal is almost as old as the college itself. The quiz committees of the college have gone on to win almost every major quizzing event in the country, year after year. Notwithstanding its prowess to compete, it has given rise to a habit of creating what are perhaps, the best quizzes in the country, unrivaled in terms of content and quality. Spring Spree thus brings out the best the quizzers of NIT Warangal have to offer.
