In the first line of the parade, I saw the people dressed up uniquely. Some people wore Indonesian heroes’ costumes.
Some others dressed like local ghosts. They were scary but they were funny, too.
Next, I remembered that a lot of people marched in the second line.
They waved a mini Indonesian flag. They walked around the village and sang the "Hari Merdeka" song.
Their singing was accompanied by traditional instruments like angklung, suling, and rebana.
At last, I also saw that many children rode their bicycles in the parade. They decorated their bicycles creatively.
I always wanted to join the parade but I was too shy.
Luckily, I have the chance to join a parade at my school next week. I am really looking forward to it.
Parade di Kampung Halamanku
Ketika aku masih kecil, aku selalu menunggu Hari Kemerdekaan.
