            The night was so eventful and gained a lot of spectators from other colleges. Dikir Barat originated from Kelantan is where a group of people singing with some others who sang solo. We were able to hear melodious voice from the singers and some energetic voices too. The spectators were very supportive as they cheer for the contestants to lift their spirit up. After the singing, we were entertained with some traditional dances from the four colleges.

            All the dances are unique and captivating, where we are able to see different types of dances. The chemistry between the dancers also make the spectators to feel more excited making it more enjoying. Since Kolej Sakura is an all-girls residents, the dance was more feminine and making people feel soft hearted. Other colleges have a mixture of male and female dancers made it feels sweet and charming. Overall, the performances went on smoothly and are all delightful making the night more beautiful.
