MATSWAPATI

Ahoy! Welcome back to my Blog! I will tell you about my experience. 27^th October 2014, SMAN 3  Bandung held a festival, cultural festival named “MATSWAPATI”, at Lapangan Bali. We did a parade to start the festival. Every 10^th grade must join the parade and each class must have a mascot, our mascot was Peye, Kirana and Rian. We started the parade at Jl. Bali, Jl.Belitung, Jl.Sumatra, Jl.Merdeka and back to Jl.Bali. It was kinda tiring actually, but it was fun. Matswapati is named after the king of all wayang, the traditional puppet from Indonesia.

The Stage

After that, Matswapati officially opened by our beloved Mayor, Ridwan Kamil. He introduce himself then told us his opinion about this event, he also gave the Transstudio Bandung ticket for anyone who can beat his challenge.

Then, the show is just began, there were many cultural performance such as traditional martial art and traditional song. There are a performance by SMAN 3 extracurricular such as KPA 3, TST, MK, and Vocal Group. It’s really fun to watch. But not only a performance, there are a food court named “JAJANAN” that sells traditional foods and snacks.

The event was getting crowded on the afternoon, because the performances that we wait was on the afternoon. On the afternoon, there are wayang show, I thought it’ll we boring as hell, I never been so wrong. The wayang show was very very funny, it showed us about culture nowadays, which is bad, but they showed it in a fun way. I couldn’t stop laughing at the time. Not only wayang, but on the afternoon there were a performance by Barsena, well I don’t know anything about this band but everyone told me that Barsena is very cool. Well yeah, I kinda enjoyed watching Barsena though.

Glenn Fredly!!!!

            Finally! The last performance was from GLENN FREDLY! It’s very awesome, all the crowd were singing a long. He sang a song such as Terserah, You Are My Everything, Hikayah Cinta and many more, and he sang BENTO by Iwan Fals too, he sang it to express that we, the students of SMAN 3 Bandung and the other audiences, we disagree with the result of Sidang Paripurna that we can’t choose our leader (Mayor) anymore. But unfortunately, i went home before the show is end because my brother asked me to go somewhere to eat. Well but that was enough for a day.

            I really enjoyed this event, because it’s not an ordinary event, it IS NOT a music concert, it is a show, not only music but dance, martial art, dance, and food. It’s very different than any other school event. IT IS MATSWAPATI. I’m very proud to be student of SMAN 3 Bandung!
