Student and community brigades parade during the Bregada Siswadya Festival 2017 in Yogyakarta, Saturday (16/9). The festival, which coincided with the 75th anniversary of SMAN 3 Yogyakarta senior high school, aimed to introduce the cultural legacy of the Yogyakarta Palace brigade to the younger generation.

The sun was blazing as dozens of students from SMAN 3 Yogyakarta public high school stood in line outside the school gates. Among them were students holding flags, others carrying snare drums and traditional gamelan instruments and still others with spears on their shoulders. They all wore uniforms reminiscent of those of the soldiers of Yogyakarta Palace.

Wildan Anis Rahmani, 16, an eleventh grader majoring in science, stood at the front of the line and cued his friends to start matching in line to the sounds of snare drums and the gamelan. They were marching in a parade down Jl. Sudirman, one of Yogyakarta’s main thoroughfares.
