The first day, June 24 2023, the event began with playing games racing in melodies. The participants were divided into 4 groups based on the sound of Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. This game requires skills in listening to songs that are played randomly, then participants have to guess the title and also connect the lyrics of the song. All participants cheered happily to support and give encouragement to their respective voice groups. The game of galloping in melodies was won by the Alto sound group. The next series is guessing the style, each group enthusiastically imitates the style they have to guess. The guessing game was won by the Tenors.

 

The event continued with the main night. Each sound group has prepared a performance video featuring a parody of a film scene. Soprano, Alto, tenor, and Bass sound groups make videos unique and creative. All participants enjoyed the video and the whole room was filled with laughter. In this presentation video, the Tenor group won. The next series is the preparation of PSM Unpad members for PSM Unpad Got Talent. All vocal groups display their talents besides singing. Despite having little time to prepare, each voice group managed to showcase their talents and was able to entertain the audience. PSM Unpad Got Talent was again won by the Tenor group.

 

The next series, PSM Unpad members both active students and alumni, gathered together in the courtyard of the villa around the already lit bonfire. Several representatives said a word or two in front of everyone. This activity was intended as a reflection given the long journey of Unpad Choir. They expressed their hope for the PSM Unpad in the midst of the fire, this illustrates the great solidarity and unity of the active members and alumni of the Unpad Choir. Then this series was closed by singing the song “Syukur”.

Excited in the morning, they were ready to take part in a series of events on the last day of PSM Unpad’s 45th Anniversary.

 

After the morning exercises and breakfast, the active members and alumni of PSM Unpad gathered in the courtyard of the villa to carry out mini-stove activities (sports competitions).
