In last Saturday, 3 Senior High
School Bandung held an art festival event. It was open for public and cost 25k
Rupiah for the ticket. It was named Matswapati. The name was taken from one of
traditional puppet name Prabu Maswapati. Matswapati offered many performances,
from traditional Sundanese art to modern song by Glenn Fredly. It was held at
the Bali Field and it is near from the school. The event started by street
parade around the city at 7pm until 9pm. Street parade was joined by some elementary
and junior high school in Bandung. When went back to the venue, the mayor,
principal of 3 senior high school, and chairman of the Maswapati opened the
event officially.
In
the morning, when my friend and I were decorating booth, I watched traditional
Sundanese art such as Jaipong dance, calung, etc. I watched it from the booth
until the end of the traditional sundanese performances, because it was already
hot. I can’t stand it. Luckily, our booth was near from the stage. So I can
easily watch the performances without getting any radiation from the sun. I
think they were a good artist because they played it well.
Next, I
watched MK3. MK3 stands for Musik Klasik
3. It is one of art extraculiculerr at 3 Senior High School. In Maswapati, they
played beautiful songs, anyway I don’t know the songs, but I really loved it.
They didn’t only play instrument but, some members were singing while the others
played instruments. The instruments was various such as violin, guitar, bass,
piano. They can play it well, and it made an amazing harmony at noon.
In the
afternoon there were traditional puppets or wayang
performances. It was very funny
because the controller of puppets said silly word in sundanese. I was laughing
because the puppets acted so silly. The controller made a ridiculous joke in
the warm afternoon anyway.

After the puppet show, Barsena
was on the stage, he sang beautiful song too. Anyway, I didn’t know who was him
until my friends was telling me. Bali field was crowded at that time, because
Barsena was one of attraction beside Glenn Fredly. Barsena also sang with KV3
(Kelompok Vokal 3) one of extraculiculerr in 3 Senior High School Bandung.

In the night, Glenn Fredly was
lighting up the night. It was climax of the event. Glenn Fredly sang a
beautiful song. With the last session he took big selfie with the all audience and
sent it to the twitter. I think that night was such a beautiful night!
