Some members were not very happy with the performance; some said probably they were tired because they had to wake up early and go to Mini Auditourium for preparation for IAC Workshop thet happened next day and some even complained about the feedback from the audience itself that was not encouraging the performers to give their best shot.
Nonetheless, at the end of the day Bapak Dadang reminded us with some of his advices and the most important is that he was quite happy with the team's performance that night. He said there will be some mistakes while playing and that is normal but do not forget the parts that was played well.

Nothing much had happened for the night's show, except the songs that IAC group had to play were reduced form 10 songs into 5 songs because the group were given only 15 minutes to perform.
About the performance, IAC group played very well, especially for the new song, Rindu Bayangan. The audiences; almost of them were veterans and late adults were happy with the song. And also the international audiences were mesmerized with the sounds of bamboos and their feedback was very good.
All in all, despite of the disappointment of the numbers of songs that the group had played, at least the audiences enjoyed the performance, and that should give IAC team one good credit for their effort for the night's show.
