Gathapraya was So Fun!

Hello!! In this blog I would like to tell you about my experience in Gathapraya, the festival that held by Senior High School 3 Bandung. But before that I will tell a little bit about what is Gathapraya. So here we go!

Gathapraya is a festival that preserve the culture, or just said cultural festival. Gathapraya is different from any kind of festival, why? because this festival prioritizes Indonesian culture. The name of "Gathapraya" comes from Sanskrit, it means hope for the future.

Gathapraya was held on Saturday, 30 September 2017 in Lapangan Bali. First activity in Gathapraya is parade with traditional dress start from Saparua until Lapangan Bali. At 12.00 p.m., Gathapraya was open for those who had bought the ticket.

The first thing that we saw when we got inside the festival is a culinar stand and Indonesian culture stand, such as batik stand, traditional games stand, etc. There are a lot of performance by our school that appear in Gathapraya, that is KPA 3, MK3, LSS , T'ST, KV3, and BAND 3. This event was also attended by Ahmad Heryawan.

Beside performance by our school, this event also invited guest star, that is Didik Nini Thowok, Vina Candrawati, Soul Etnic, Giri Harja, Elephant Kind, HiVi!, and Nidji. The performance that I love the most was HiVi! and Nidji, because in that time I could enjoy the music while singing and a bit of dancing.

Gathapraya finished at around 11.00 p.m. And I think this event is nice, cool, and exciting. Although I felt sore foot. Guys that's all my experience about Gathapraya. Thanks for read my blog, see you at the next blog. Bye!
