Megantara

Several days ago, at 10th of september our school held an annual festival called Megantara. Actually, the name of the festival changes each year. Last year it was Gamarvani. megantara is a culture festival, and we, the students of SMAN 3 Bandung organize it. Megantara is open for public.

Megantara is held to build awareness, not only for students but also all Indonesian, to conserve culture in Indonesia and introduce indonesian culture to people, especially in bandung. We deliver this message through interesting performances from many different culture in Indonesia. We also have some traditional food stands to get rid of your hunger.

On 10th September, megantara begins with the parade, the participants are kindergarten students and 1st grader of SMAN 3 Bandung. We gathered in Bali street at 7.30 am and started to walk around at 8 am. This parade purpose is to publish about Megantara to the people around. We finished around 9.30 am. After the parade ended, i went home with Fadhilah and Angie then took a lunch with my mom.

I went back to school at  15.30 after changed my clothes. The queue was so long. After about 20 minutes, i can went in to the Bali  Field. Honestly, i was quite late and missed some performances :(.

When i went to the stage, it was fashion show. The winner of the fashion show is announced by the Mayor of Bandung City, Ridwan Kamil. The winner wore a Papua costume.

After a break, it was T'ST turn to perform. They present a very great theater about culture. It was one of the best performance for me. Then, it was OSD from ITB on the stage. After that, it was their turn, The Changcuters to perform on Megantara stage. They performed about 10 song and it was sooo cool! The atmosphere they brought was so great i do not know how to express what i feel back then. I hope i can see their performance again :).

After The Changcuters performance ended, there was a traditional dance performance. It was also great. Then, it's the second guest star performance, RAN. Honestly, i prefer The Changcuters performance but RAN is also cool. I did not watch the RAN performance till the end because it was already too late. I was tired standing in front of stage for hours but it was a very unforgettable and great day for me.
