They were asked by the host about their daily lives and talents.

The event was very lively and enthusiastic from the audience who attended and also enlivened the event, in addition to the committees who danced hip hop and the committee's enthusiasm to take pictures/videos while we performed. ISDI students were also very happy and very pleased to be able to perform again in Chinese New Year and hip hop dance... Thank you to PSMTI for inviting ISDI, hopefully we can meet again on another occasion...

The angklung music performance at the Bandung Ngarulung Angklung event centered at the Balai Kota Bandung really amazed the audience. The children played their angklung very enthusiastically because they had prepared for practice long before the event. The presence of several invited guests and community leaders made us even more excited, especially when the audience liked the music and danced along...

Thank you for the Bandung Ngarulung Angklung event, we can meet again on another occasion.
