MEGANTARA 2016

 Last Saturday, September 10th, 2016, my school held a cultural festival. It's an annual event. This event has different name every year. In 2014, it's called Matsuwapati and in 2015, it's called Gamarvani. For this year, it is called Megantara. Megantara comes from two words, "Megan" and "Tara". Megan means majestic and tara means light. Jargon for Megantara is " Kemilau budaya, sinari nusantara!".

There were many art performances such as traditional dances, rampak kendang, karawitan, etc. The performers came from SMAN 3 students and students from other schools. The guest star is The Changcuters and RAN. 

There were also many areas that represented every island in Indonesia. Every area consits of many stalls that sold signature food from every island. For example, there were sate padang from Padang and pempek from Palembang in Sumatra area. There were also traditional games performances in every area.

When The Changcuters performed everyone quickly gather around the stage and very excited. They play very well and the crowds love it. But when RAN performed everyone calmed down and enjoy it with their couples. Overall it was a great experience, I love it and a lot of people love it too.
