DanzaTrice 07 massive success!

Last friday, I went to my senior highschool Labschool Jakarta to buy a Labsproject 2012 tickets (an annual event in my highschool held by the 11th grade). I bought the ticket from my junior which is the saman dancer as well, I came to her at the usual place for practice (Ruang Kaca). I was surprise that they'll perform not only the saman dance but also Rampai Geleng dance. The dance which is come from Aceh just like Saman but we use the circle things sounds like drum just like the pictures above. And my mind flew away to two years ago, the time that my batch held this big event LabsProject 2010 Future Vision. In that time, me and my saman dance team called DanzaTrice07 also performed Saman and Rampai Geleng dance. This event was the top part of our dance history. We had been prepared for this event approximately 3 months. Why it took so long? Because this is our own event and we want to performed the best of saman dance ever. Our coach gave us an advice to perform Rampai Geleng dance, the mix with saman dance will be very cool and attractive. We're agree with the idea and began to practice three times a week if I wasn't mistaken. It was very hard and need to be patience all the time. The group formation from left to right of our dance was Cassandra, Ajeng, Faya, Indi, Lathifa, Dini, Nane, Iffa (me), Dida, Dhea, Lea, Lulu, Tika, Ayas, Nadya. Me, Dini, Nane, Dida and Dhea were in the middle and it's our job to make some kind of flower by made a circle path and turn around and around, it was sick and insane but I admit it makes the dance looks beautiful with the dance combination by other friends in the right and left. I know it sounds confusing but believe me, there's something more insane when we performed. Finally the day we've been waiting for is come. Me and DanzaTrice07 were stay in the hotel near Senayan (the place we held LP'2010). We've to do final practice on the spot in the morning before the event. So we're going to practice with all the enthusiasm even though I've confession to make that I didn't remember all the song lyrics yet hehe (so does some of the girls :p). But I don't know why what's wrong with us, the final practice wasn't as good as the other practice. There was a dissapoint face from us, the crew and the EO people. Because they were hoped that all of Labs Performance by students was attractive just like the event. I feel sad cause we're going to perform at night and we don't have time to practice all the time it'll make us tired. So we're just praying and hoping all the best for that night. Then, after long preparation at the hotel, we're going to the place in the afternoon to helped the other crew, watch the band performance or staying in the backstages. We did our make up 2-3 hours before the show. After all the waiting and prepared, we're going to performed, I feel numbs, nervous and suddenly forgot all the dance movement. We did our ritual praying by hand in hand and made a circle of us. After praying we stood near the stages waiting the Syekh (Saman dance singer) begin to sing the song. The syekh was yell out 'Assalamualaikum kami ucapkan..." the beginning of our performance, we went to the stages in line, the audiences were.....(speechless)....very very crowded. The 9000 audiences waiting for their favourite band and screaming to us.. But then, miracle happened, the syekh started to sing "Sallatulah..salamullah.." which is everybody knew it, and Gelora Bung Karno sing it loudly until we don't even hear the syekh sing, a little bit scared we miss the beat but we're fine until fiveteen minutes we entertained the crowds, they're clapped their hands loudly everytime we raise the beat of our dance and yes, they love our performance. We went to backstage, yelling, screaming, hugging and laughing to each other. The teachers, parents, friends congratulates us, we're the celebrity in a minutes hehe. Ofcourse we didn't forgot to pray again, thanked God for everything, for the massive success and for our team. We did it!! Long Live DanzaTrice07
