Only 13 members of IAC turned up to perform that night for the dinner performing various songs, including song that will be played during Festival Angklung at Bandung, Poco-Poco. It was also the very first time ever for Siti Fairuz conducting the group during the performance.
For the show itself, the team already practiced their way to move along while playing angklung. They had improved a lot in showmanship, even though there were minor mistakes. Some did complain that they felt a bit tired doing the movements, probably because of the meal they had before the show or maybe they still were not used to it. Nevertheless, the audience were so sporting, especially the VIPs who were said to like the song Pandang-Pandang Jeling-Jeling. The team also were given a loud applause from the viewers after the last song, Sejahtera Malaysia, thanks to the team who had to give full commitment during the training and the show itself.

Eight songs were performed by not more than 30 members and were conducted by IAC trainer, Bapak Dadang. 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.
