On Saturday, 10th September ago, my school SMAN 3 Bandung had an event. It's called Festival Seni Sastra dan Budaya Megantara. Megantara is a culture festival that presents the variety of Indonesian culture. This festival located in Lapangan Bali. There are traditional food, traditional games, traditional music performance, etc. Megantara also presents some guest star to entertain people. There are OSD ITB, UKM Bali, Studio Puri Hamdan, Wayang Golek Putra Giri Harja 3, Rampak Kendang Darul Hikam, ElHouse Art Production, Lingkung Seni Sunda 3, Keluarga Paduan Angklung 3, Kelompok Vokal 3, Musik Klasik 3, Tiloe's Theatre, Band 3 and the most famous guest stars are The Changcuters and RAN.

To prepare this festival, there are committee that divided into some divisions, which each divsion had a diferent job. I'm also a committee too. I am on the Foodfest division. My job is recruiting the traditional food vendors to sell their merchandise in Megantara. But as a replacement, they should pay the rent cost to us. Some foodstand in Megantara are Sate Padang, Soto Banjar, Ayam Betutu, etc.

As a committee, i arrived in Lapangan Bali about 05.00. Just a few committee that have arrived in Lapangan Bali. At 06.30 we had a briefing. After that the Foodfest division help the food vendors to prepare their merchandise. Megantara open gate at 11.45, so we still had much time. I decided to walk around and looking for some snack. From 11.45 to 15.00 just a few people came to Megantara. But Megantara started to be crowded when the dusk. I saw many people. I met my familiy, my neighbours, and my friends from Junior High School. It makes me so happy because i never met them since the graduation day. We shared our experience in our school. It is so interesting to listen about my friend story about their new school. In the peak of the event, there are performance from The Changcuters and RAN. Both of them got a good apreciation from audience. But RAN got more apreciation from the girls. I think the girls love them so much. Personally, i prefer the Changcuters performance. They had a unique style. And i think they have more fans. Megantara finished about 21.30. After that the all committe got evaluation from OSIS Chairperson, and i go home at 22.00. It is an unforgetable moment and i hope i can get another wonderful moment sometimes...
