Matswapati's Parade



Hello everyone! Now, I'm going to tell you about my school's event. My school, 3 Senior High School held a cultural festival called 'MATSWAPATI'. Matswapati is one of the wayang in West Java. We held this even because we want to preserve our culture as the people of West Java. Matswapati held on Saturday, 27th September 2014 at Lapangan Bali from 08.00 to 19.00. Before the opening, there was a parade. And now, I'll tell you about the parade.
The parade attended by elementary and secondary scholers and the 10th graders too. We competed to win the prize! My class, X-3, we wore headbands written '#Matswapati' with feathers which was from feather duster. We wore black t-shirt and batik wich was tied onto our waist. Before we started the parade, we lined up in front of Matswapati's gate and waited for elementary and secondary schoolers. We talked and took so much photos there. Soon, after they came, the parade begin. We started to sing our chants loudly with a lot of spirit. We waved to people around too. The route was from Lapangan Bali head to Taman Musik, then 5 and 3 Senior High School, Taman Lalu Lintas, Hyatt Hotel, then to Merdeka street, passed St. Angela and Banjarsari school, then we turned to Java street to Bali street back to Lapangan Bali and we welcomed by Kuda Lumping show. We were tired but we're so happy!
Then at 1 pm, there was an announcement to declare the winner. The winner from elementary school was Karang Pawulang elementary school, it was Diana's elementary school. Hehe. And the winner from 10th graders is........ X-3!!! We won the parade! We got one million rupiah! The boys were so happy they danced and the girls cheered! Yeay! Our effort has paid off! It was really surprising! What a dayy~
Well, i didn't watch the festival until finished, cause i was sick:( so sad i can't watch until the night... But I'm also happy for it :)
