Kindergarten Drumband

Pep Guardiola's men proved to be just too much for Sir Alex's men once again on Saturday night -no surprise really- as Barcelona won their fourth UEFA Champions League title. Barcelona simply outclassed Manchester United to a comfortable 3-1 win and cemented their status as the world's best football team. 


The surprise, however, was how confidently my kid nephew performed with his kindergarten drumband at Gandaria City earlier that day. It was an event organized by Indovision and BabyTV -I think- to showcase various talents from kindergartens in Jakarta. TK Pangudi Luhur participated with their adorable drumband.

My kid nephew was confidently cool on the fresh-colorful-fun stage setting at the North Entrance of the mall, fittingly decorated to appeal to younger kids. They perform three song arrangements with ease, evident of regular practicing before the performance. I am proud of that and to see him on stage with his cute little uniform was heart-lifting. The audience made up of super-moms, dads-with-cameras, proud grandmas, loving-uncles, sisters, brothers and also mall-goers were entertained, I'm sure. 

I'm just worried of the fact that it had to be in a mall rather than an open area green park where kids can have fun and be active in playing outdoors afterwards. That would be so much more amusing for the kids, I imagine. Jakarta need more of that for sure. We're getting tired of malls already, really. If we're not, we should be!
