A Sparkling Night

Nothing to expect, but give the best of all we could do.

'What you give, what you get' represented the desire and hope to give the best performance after every-night-practicing we had done. A good composer had made the arrengement of songs sounded elegant. A talented pianist had helped a lot to conduct the music. Patient couches had been so good to conduct the players of Angklung. Karinding-ist (Pemain Karinding(?), traditional music instrument from West Java) had made the music sounded more classical. A guitarist had given the taste of contemporary to our music. Time to go on stage.

On stage

The nervousness of waiting to perform had never been this calm since I had a great team that were so supportive. And another reason was we had practiced a lot for this. The waiting turned out to be fun. We spent the time by taking (so many) pictures on the backstage eventhough the partly of members were new! I had been thinking, this 'new' group was the fun-nest one. We could be united and there was no gap among all the members, not even girls and boys. I'm saying this because, you can guess, at the very previous performance there was a gap even among girls.

One way to reduce the nervousness

I thought, we were going to perform in the main hall of Taman Budaya Yogyakarta. Once I had performed there and it was a great experience. But I was wrong. It took place in the next building, Gedung Societet TBY, which is smaller. Surprisingly, it couldn't stop us to be satisfied. I don't know, it might be right when you have a good team, you can have a good performance, conversely. Honestly, in my opinion, the arrangement of previous performance was better than this. However, this lovely, supportive team had driven the universe turned us out to be good, even better. We were really sa-tis-fied. It was great. A night had been well-spent and all the hard work had been paid-off.

After performing

 Oh nooooooo! I put too many pictures on >.<
