To make this cultural festival did not seem boring, the committee invited RAN and The Changcuters as the guest stars. They also invited Karawitan SMK 10 Bandung, Rampak Kendang Darul Hikam, SMEs Bali Telkom, Community Jaipong kotemporer, Barudak studio Prihamdani, Orchestra Semi Dangdut ITB and Extracurricular SMAN 3 such as Lingkung Seni Sunda 3, KPA 3, Vocal Group 3, Classical Music 3, Tiloes Theatre, Band 3, and so on. This event aims to preserve the culture of Indonesia and invite young people today so as not ashamed to show their Indonesiaan. Megantara 2016 was attended by the Mayor of Bandung Mr. Ridwan Kamil. He was very enthusiastic about Indonesian culture.

Finally, the long-awaited day arrived. Saturday, September 10, 2016 all of the tenth grade students went to the Bali field at 7am use Sundanese traditional clothing, namely kebaya and pangsi. Some kids from pre-schools in Bandung also joined the parade. we and all parade participants started the parade from the bali field around 8 am. We walked around until the Bandung town hall, and back again to the bali field. The parade finished about 10 am.

Parade

After the parade, I and my friend returned to SMAN 3 to change clothes and waited for the gate opened. The committee said that the gate would be opened around  11.30 am. We entered the Bali field after the gate was opened. We can exchanged the ticket with fruit tea…yeayyy…Inside the field, the event was not started yet, so we just went around and sigh seeing. The weather on that day was hot enough. We saw an ice cream stand and we bought it immediately. That ice cream was soo delicious but the price was more expensive than usual.

Soon after that, the event began. in fact I did not really pay attention to the opening ceremony. I just kept going around, chatted with friends, also spent money for snacks. On the late afternoon, the show more attracted and field full of visitors. I also met some of my old friends.

When maghrib time, I and my friend decided to pray first, but the little mosque was full. Unfortunately, that time was time for T'ST (Theatre SMAN 3 Bandung)  to perform and we felt pity to miss it. After we prayed, we immediately headed towards the stage and tried to find a place as forward as possible. Fortunately T'ST still performed and we could watch their performance even if only briefly. 

At 7.00 pm, my mother called me and asked me what time I would go home. I didn’t have much time to answer my mother questions because my cell phone run out of battery. I borrowed my friend’s phone to communicate with my mom. My mom said that my father was on the way to pick me up for going home. I felt disappointed because I had to go home and I missed the peak event. The special guests on this event are The Changcuters and RAN, and I missed their performance. My friends told me that their performances looked incredible. I also missed its closure that so festive. I hope next year I can attend this kind of event until finish.
