GAMARVANI

Hello again! Now i would like to tell you about my experience in Gamarvani.

What is GAMARVANI?

Gamarvani is one of an art and culture festival held by 3 Senior High School. Gamarvani itself taken from two Sankskrit word; Gammar which means "journey" and Parvani which means "moon". So, Gamarvani means "A Journey to The Moon". It took one of West Java folks tales, Nyai Anteh, as its theme. The festival held 2 months ago, exactly on September 19th 2015 and it took place at Bali Field, near my school. That day, the Gamarvani Committee had to arrive at the field at around 5 a.m. Because i was one of the committe, i had to wake up really early that day. The air was so cold that i had to wear layered clothes that time. A few minutes after that, the chief finally came and gave us briefing. We, as the committee, really hoped that Gamarvani would be a big success.

Gamarvani itself had arranged to begin at 9.30 a.m. But before that, there was a parade competition joined by 10th grade and elementary students. The parade started at 7.30 a.m. All of the participants wore traditional Sundanese clothes, which were Pangsi (for boys) and Kebaya (for girls). Unfortunately, i didn't watch or join the parade, but i was sure that the parade was great.

Finally, the gate opened at half past nine. When we entered the field, we could see a really big stage with "GAMARVANI" text and Nyai Anteh illustration hanged on the top. We also could see a lot of foodstands and foodtrucks in every corner of the field (that was my favourite part^^). There were so many traditional snacks too! Those snacks were free for all visitors ( sadly the committe couldn't taste it ). The festival opened with the speech from 3 Senior High School Headmaster and the chief of Gamarvani Committee. Finally the show began with the performances of some extracuriculer from 3 Senior High School, such as LSS 3, KPA 3, KV 3, and Tiloe's Theater. There were also some of Sundanese Art and Cultural performers like Manggala Awi, ArumbAcoustic, Wayang Golek Giri Harja, and many more.

The show was exciting! Although at first the visitors weren't that much, but it became crowded near lunch time. I met a lot of my old friends from elementary school and junior high school there. We bought so many foods and drinks ( fortunately my mom gave me extra-pocket money that day :') ). My favourites were LOL's Matcha ice cream and Bandung traditional food called "Seblak" (my friend gave me some and it taste so delicious ;;_;;)! We spent our day by walking around the field, chatting and sharing each other stories, and of course we also enjoyed every performances. It was great. But sometimes we would sit on the corner of the field to rest for a while.

At around 6 p.m, the field was getting more and more crowded, it was totally different than before. Well, maybe it was because the next performance would perform by our guest stars; Adera and HiVi! The first guest star that would perform was Adera. Before Adera performed, i went to mushola to do the maghrib prayer with my friends. Unfortunately, the mushola was so crowded that we had to queue for a long time. After finished the prayer, i felt a little tired. So we decided to stay in mushola until isya. Although i didn't get a chance to watch Adera, i thought his performance was a success because i could hear him singing beautifully from far (though i didn't really know him =)) sorry..). Besides, the crowd seemed happy, too :)). But then, I couldn't stay any longer in mushola because i already felt hungry. So, after we did the Isya prayer, we started to buy some food to eat and waited for HiVi performance.

Not long after that, maybe at 8 p.m., HiVi performed! The visitors immediately came closer to the stage and made the field really crowded. But, i was so excited!  HiVi brought their songs amazingly. The crowd sang along with them and waved their hands, as well as me and my friends. It was an amazing performance!

HiVi!~

The show was finally over at 10 p.m. I felt really happy, but sad at the same time because i had to say goodbye to my old friends (moreover, there were a bunch of homeworks that i had to finish in the next day). However, i didn't feel any regret at all. Gamarvani was the best art and culture festival! I would love to come to another event like that in the next year^^ and of course, i would love to be a part of the committee again~
