Study Tour
 

    Last week, my school had a study tour to Saung Angklung Mang Udjo in Bandung. We started our journey very early in the morning. There were six buses to take our groups. We stopped in the rest area before went directly toward Bandung.

    When we arrived at Saung Angklung Mang Udjo, we were welcome by hot Sundanese drinks known as Bendrek it was very unique. After that, we went around the gallery that sells Sundanese handicrafts. We then walked to the hall, it was a rounded stage. Everybody sat anxiously.

    The Angklung shows soon began with a performance of a large group of dancers and Angklung players. Then, the master of ceremony introduced herself and offered the audience a short course to play Angklung. She then taught the audience to play the Angklung, each rhythm. Soon after the audience knew the basic sound, we all played popular songs together.

    The master ceremony spoke in English too because there were foreigners among the visitors. At the end of the show, we were asked to join the performing children to dance together. We really enjoyed the performance of bamboo musical instruments combined with the wonderful dances and nice master of ceremony. We were all very cheerful and refreshed after the show.
