Nugra's Yearly School Performance

On Saturday, March 15th, we were invited to Nugra's end-of-school-year performance called "Indonesiaku". We came to school around 8 to give plenty of time for Nugra to get dressed and ready. The costume was a pair of black shirt and pants with songket balapak. He was also wearing songket-patterned head-wrist band.

The performance started at around 9. The kids entered singing "Berkibarlah Benderaku" while waving their miniature national flag. Kakak was very good, he smiled and very proudly sang throughout the opening number without any hesitation. The second song was "Beungong Jumpa" with all the children dancing Tari Saman. Following that, all the children sang "Yamko Rambe Yamko" with choreographed pom-pom dance. The next song are about becak, kancil and kuda lumping. I am giving 2 thumbs-up since the school prepared lots of props for this performance. The second to last performance was "Pepaya Mangga Pisang Jambu" song. Kakak Nugra acted as Tukang Buah Apel. This was an interactive number, the parents were given opportunity to act as buyer. The school give us monopoly money as props to be used to buy the fruits. Lastly, the children leave the stage by singing "Sayonara".

I am very very very proud of Kakak Nugra. He is very comfortable, very relax, very confidence in all of the show. He remembered all of his songs and dances. He was able to calm his nerves and regulate himself. All of the therapy has paid off. I am again, a very very happy mother.
