I almost cancelled this event when five days before the event the registrants were still 4 people. Even though we have been promoting online and offline for more than a month.
A few days earlier I had a discussion with a friend who is also an art teacher, where the problem he said: "Students do not move if they are not told by the teacher. Teachers don't move if they are not told by the principal. And if the principal is not told by the head of the office, they don't move."
This is not to mention other problems, such as promo posters that were apparently only received by the TU or student affairs department, but were not posted on the announcement. There are several schools that have this problem.
Finally, we went to see the cadre of the Blitar District Education Office and asked for help with promotion. And in Indonesia it turns out that methods like this are still the most effective. In just four days, on the day of the audition, DeKa Voice 2023 had 53 participants. That's more than enough. Of course we are very grateful to the Blitar District Education Office for this support.
And it turns out that Blitar does not lack singing talents. The 12 finalists who performed on Sunday were all cool and good looking. In addition to bringing home a trophy and a hefty prize money, they also had the opportunity to perform with a Spanish Idol singer and feel the international vibe with quite a number of foreign volunteers who also participated in the event committee.
Maybe they just haven't had the opportunity to show off. According to some friends, there has been no singing competition in Blitar Raya for almost 10 years.
I hope that in the future, younger siblings who feel they have talent, skills, and passion for the arts, don't have to wait to be pushed by their school to perform.
Take every opportunity that comes your way, who knows if your life path is to make this world more beautiful with art.
