Gathapraya

Gathapraya

Every year 3 Senior High School always hold some culture festival. This year, the name of the culture festival is “Gathapraya”. Gathapraya means hopes for the future. This culture festival was held at Saturday on the 30th of September 2017. First, we gathered in Saparua Field to do Nusantara parade at 08.00 to 11.45. We did the parade by passing Belitung street, Bali street, Sumatera street, and Kalimantan street. We wore kebaya and pangsi when we did the parade. Also from each classes, there was two delegations to wear Indonesian traditional costumes from many islands in Indonesia, one female and one male to participate in Fashion Show Competition. Delegation from our class had to wear Indonesia traditional costume from Java.

At about 11.45, the parade was over and we were already in Bali Field. We went to the mosque in 3 Senior High School to pray Dzuhur and got change. After that, we went back to Bali Field to start enjoying the festival.

To get into the Bali Field or the conser, we had to show the ticket from our phone and we had to give our bags to the committee so they could check if there was anything that’s not relevant.

In Bali Field, we enjoyed the show. There was so many stand, like Batik Stand, Traditional Costumes Stand, Gamelan Stand, Gerabah Stand, Photoboot, and many more. We also enjoyed the foods and drinks, like potatoes, Poci Tea, Takoyaki, Rice Box, and the other foods and drinks.

There was so many performances from many talented people, like Elevoice, Drizzling, MK3, LSS3, KV3, Band 3, and other performers. There was also many guest stars, like NIDJI, HiVi, Didik Nini Thowok, Vina Candrawati, and many more. NIDJI and HiVi were the guest stars that many people couldn’t wait to see, but they performed in the night as closing.

The festival was ended at about 22.00, but I returned to my home early because I felt tired. But I really enjoyed the festival that day. Hope the 3 Senior High School Culture Festival next year become more successful.
