A Parade in My Hometown

When I was a child, I always waited for
Independence Day. My father used to ask me to
watch a parade together. We saw it from our
front yard. I remember how attractive the
parade was.
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 lag. 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.
