The Zanook school concert is a vibrant, exhilarating event that draws over 500 attendees each year. It stands out as a fun-filled celebration, characterized by a light-hearted, joyous atmosphere that encompasses both performers and audience alike. While each performance is very well rehearsed, Zanook's essence lies not in serious competition but in providing a platform for students and bands to showcase their talents in a stress-free, enjoyable environment.

Zanook was held on April 4, 2023,, timed close to the vibrant Songkran holiday and attendees embraced the holiday spirit, arriving in colorful, floral shirts that added to the festival's visual appeal.

Driven by the passionate student committee - Good, Tin, Minnie, PingPing, and Kanoon - the organization of Zanook is a meticulous, collaborative process. Regular meetings with the school administrators ensure that the festival runs smoothly and remains an anticipated, highlight event of the school year.

Service groups and clubs ran booths selling refreshing drinks and delicious food. Combined, the groups were able to raise over 170,000 baht for various charitable causes.

Zanook's unique charm is amplified by the 'Dunk Tank' event which was handled by the HSSG - an exciting spectacle where students get the rare opportunity to dunk their administrators. Over 80,000 baht was raised and donated to Baan Dek Foundation. The crowd's laughter and cheers during this segment encapsulated the festival's spirit - one of camaraderie, amusement, and shared enjoyment.

Zanook isn't just a school concert; it's a jubilant celebration of Concordian student talent, community bonding, and shared joy. It represents the very heartbeat of the school year, making it not just an event to attend, but an experience to cherish.
