Clarisha Hanandya P: MEGANTARA? Kemilau Budaya Sinari Nusantara

10th September 2016

Hello guys! In that day I was so excited. Exactly I tired too, but that was no problem for me. I really enjoyed. I'll never forget this.

     MEGANTARA was one of many event which was organized by OSIS in my school. MEGANTARA was culture festival. Maybe many people thing culture festival is a boring event, but not for MEGANTARA. This event was modification by a modern culture, but the important things of the concept in this event is the traditional culture which has to conserve by us. MEGANTARA was an OSIS sie.8 program (about building literature and culture).

     All the committee was from SMAN 3 Bandung. Teacher, student, or caraka was the committee. The committee of this event so many, just from the student is about 469 people (include 10, 11, 12 grade). Of course you are already know if every event and have many committee that has a division to makes the committee works well. The divisions in this event are decoration, sponsor, door-to-door, food festival, logistic, security, etc.

     In MEGANTARA I was a logistic. So tired to be a logistic, but funny. Because all of a logistic so fun and they're humorist. In logistic have a division are decoration logistic, committee logistic, event logistic, and recapitulation logistic. I was a decoration logistic, the job desk are help the decoration prepare the decoration, buy things which decoration needs, etc.

     MEGANTARA ope gate at 11.35 a.m. and close gate at 15.30 p.m. The guest star are The Changcuters and RAN. You know, the visitor are until 4,000 people! I can't believe it. In here many delicious Indonesian foods. They're like sate padang, pempek palembang, batagor, and many more.

     The series of events are in the morning (before open gate) has a parade and reog show, in the middle of the day has a fashion show from the students of 10th grade SMAN 3 Bandung and some extracurriculars of my school performed. Not only extracurricular performed, many others guest stage like Giri Harja, Karawitan, OSD ITB, and the others.  In the evening ours mayor city, Mr. Ridwan Kamil had announced the winner of fashion show (The winner was student of X Science 5 who wear a Papua Barat clothes), and in night MEGANTARA’s guest stars performed. The theme of fashion show was Indonesian, so the participant should wear a typical clothes from every province in Indonesia.

     I really miss this moment. From the day before MEGANTARA until MEGANTARA finished. From I’m always buy things with my partner in logistic, bring things from school to Bali field (place of MEGANTARA), tired together with all of committee, and etc. I'll never forget this moment. I hope next year I can to be a committee again!

Thank you for read my story, for the bonus I will give you some documentations of MEGANTARA!!
