The festival technical team took over the microphone and covered their equipment to avoid water damage as the rain intensified but Rangers too stepped up their performance. The rain was like a fuel to them. Soaked wet from the cold rain, the ladies lied down on the drenched lawn and rolled over in a dance move that is said to be the choir’s signature.
