Megantara was a culture festival which has a function to show various Indonesian cultures. There was a food bazaar in Megantara, too. So, you could find different kinds of meals and snacks. In addition, there were guest stars like the Changcuters and RAN.
Those who came to this culture festival had to buy a ticket which cost a hundred thousand Rupiah. That was not cheap, was it ? Even though it was expensive, I did not care when I bought that ticket. Why did not I care about the price ? The answer is because I was really interested in the various Indonesian cultures.
First, I had to buy the ticket. I bought it from Marisa who was one of Megantara commitee members. The event was held on Saturday, 10th September 2016. But, before I came, there was a parade in the morning. The tenth grade students of SMAN 3 Bandung and some kindergarten kids.We and the kids walked passed Taman Lalu Lintas, that was wuite far. But, walking with the kids was really fun. The parade finished at 10.00. Meanwhile. Megantara itself began at 12.00. There was a two hour gap between 10.00 - 12.00, so my friends and I went to takolada.
After that, we prayed Dzuhur in a mosque quite far from the Megantara venue becase we went there on foot. Finally it was time for the event to begin. When it was 12.00 p.m., we were allowed to enter the venue. Inside like I mentioned before, we could find a lot of food sold there. Besides buying the food, we could also watch the Indonesian culture performances like a traditional dance, wayang golek or puppet show, and many others. The students of SMAN 3 participated by joining a traditional fashion show. They showed different traditional costumes from Papua, West Java, Sumatera, and other provinces.
In this venue there was a mushola where we could pray. This is because we still need to pray 5 times a day. At dusk, more and more people came. They were not just students and teachers from SMAN 3 Bandung, but also students from other schools or even adults. There were about a thousand people. Before we arrived at the top performance of Megantara (the guest stars, such as the Changcuters and RAN), Ridwan Kamil as mayor of Bandung announced the winner of the traditional costume competition. I could not believe my eyes : it was Ridwan Kami, the VIP person in Bandung. The winner of that competition was a student who was wearing the Papua costume.
I could not wait to see the guest stars, especially the Changsuters. I really like them. Just for your information, the Changsuters is from Bandung. That makes me like them so much. Oh, I almost forgot, before the guest star performances, there was a performance from T'ST (Teather SMAN 3 Bandung). It was amazing !
Actually, since I first saw the their performances, I determine to take T'ST as my extracuricullar activity. I think they always show the best performanrences. T'ST theme at Megantara was Indonesian culture. It ilustrated the ongoing culture extinction in Indonesia. Their show remind us as the SMAN 3 Bandung students to always take care of our culture and maintain its existance, for the sake of our future generation.
The guest stars seemed to be preparing themselves at the back stage. Why did I think so ? Because it took so long since the announcement of their performance by the MC before they finally came. I felt bored. But when they really were on stage and started performance. Started performing, the audience suddenly became boisterous. Even though the top performance was already late in the evening, the audience, including me was still full of spirit. We sang and sang together, despite our feeling tired of standing too long and waiting. RAN performed right after. It was fun but not as fun as the Changcuters. At last, the event came to its end. We went to our respective home and slept tight.
