AZZAMS
Gita Dirgantara

The sound of sirens sounded right at four o'clock, waking up the cadets who were still asleep in their sleep. As soon as he heard the sirens, the cadets rushed up, then made up his bed. After that they went out to the bathroom, to wash their faces, brush their teeth and ablution for the Muslims.

After performing the prayer, the cadets returned to their flats to bathe and change their clothes. They wore striped pants and blue dongker t-shirts with the words ARYANGANKU and next to the writing there is AAU writing with a vertical position. They coated it in a striped uniform. And lastly, cover their heads with a black hat.

After putting on his shoes, the cadets rushed towards the storage of drumband tools. This morning they will practice drumband as usual. With their respective equipment, they immediately headed for the field. Azzam and Zakaria held a bass drum that was placed in front of his chest. Eko plays the trumpet, Zuhaidar holds the marching bells, while Seno holds the snare drum. The snare drum strap is draped over his shoulder, with the snare drum position at his waist.

The cadets lined up according to the equipment he was holding. First line of cadets holding snare drums. The second line holds the bass drum. The third row holds the marching bells. And the fourth row holds the trumpet. Each row has a major who is ready with his cane.

Majoret served as a row guide in forming formations and also signaled the players playing his instruments. At the very front, there are four majorets that will lead and move while twirling the staff, giving cues and spirits to the members of the drumband. Niken was the only female major in the second year of the Gita Dirgantara Taruna.

Drumband Air Force Academy is well known by the public, because it often appears in several events. The name is Gita Dirgantara AAU. AAU Aerospace Gita is a drumband of the Air Force Academy, which is the activity of cadets and cadets outside the military.

After all gathered together, they began their training. Amidst the silence of the morning atmosphere, the sound of their drumband sound resounded. Even the sound of their practice can be heard to the city square of Yogyakarta. This also led to the circulation of humor mysterious drumband sound among the public. Though it was the drumband sound of the air force academy cadets.

Gita Dirgantara AAU will be a treat for people who come to visit the academy. At certain times, air force academies often hold Tour de Campus events. After enjoying the drumband show, the community can interact with cadets, healthy gymnastics with cadets, watch the appearance of cadet bands, quiz games, distribution of souvenirs, and end with a tour of AAU using the AAU bus, and finally with the AAU bus, also visit the Karbol museum.

After the rehearsal to perform the song that will be displayed later, the cadets immediately headed for the Garuda 2 post. There the starting point of the drumband show begins. They will walk while playing a musical instrument. From post Garuda 2, to post Radar, back to post Garuda 2 and finish in Tugu Adisakti. People who want to take part in Tour de Campus activities begin to arrive at the Garuda 2 post.

Majoret plays her baton, giving a cue to the members of Gita Dirgantara to start her music game. The holders of the snare drum and bass drum, began to play the stik, beating the drums hanging on his body. After the drumming stopped, the holder of the marching bells and trumpets began to play his instrument. They played the song Kopi Dangdut.

Azzam's feet moved forward as he stepped to the right and left rhythmically. His hands did not forget to beat the bass drum in his cradle. Occasionally his hands twirled the stick, before beating the drum. The sound of music from marching bells, trumpets and drums rhymed playing the very popular dangdut song.

After the first song ended, the mayor moved his wand again. His body was spinning, with footsteps like a dancing man. Every now and then he turned his wand, threw it, then caught it again. The drumming sound started the second song, followed by marching bells and trumpets. For the second song, they played Manuk Dadali, a song from West Java.

The people who watch their attractions are many who record through cell phone cameras. They continued to follow the cadets who continued to walk towards the Radar post. Several young girls who accidentally came to watch the show directed their camera at Azzam. The handsome face of the cadets, of course, attracted their attention.

After touring from the post Garuda 2 to the post Radar, back to the post Garuda 2, they finally reached Tugu Adisakti. After performing the show, the drumband players disbanded. They put the tools used back into place. Next they return to the field to mingle with the people who come and do gymnastics together. Previously they opened the striped uniform, and only wore a blue dongker t-shirt.

When the interaction event with cadets, it can be ascertained who are cadets who are invited to take photos together by the visitors. The answer is definitely Azzam. Although reluctant, but he could not refuse the request of visitors to take pictures with him. Not infrequently he dragged Eko, Seno or Zakaria to take pictures together. It feels awkward to take pictures with the girls.

“Whose name is it?” ask one of the girls who took a picture with him.

“Wah his name is really good.”

“So I have a girlfriend yet?”

“Not yet. But if the wife has,” sambar Zakaria.

“Hah? The hell time, brother? Really married?”

“Iya Lebaran yesterday she just got married. Now his wife is pregnant young.”

Azzam's eyes glared at Zakaria who was casually making up stories about him. The young man blinked his eyes at Azzam. The three girls who had surrounded Azzam said goodbye. They want to take pictures with others.

“Heh... carelessly if you say,” rebukes Azzam as soon as the fans leave.

“That's the best way to ngusir tuh girls. If not, it will definitely stick with you, hahaha.”

“If they ask where is the photo of his wife how?” ask Seno.

“Most is. Tell aja bang Yakob dandan put on a robe, keep on wearing a veil. Lip lipstick, sorted, hahaha.”.

“Bhuahahaha.. who was in convulsions who saw his picture.”.

No doubt Azzam laughed when he heard it. Imagining Yakob wearing a robe, veil plus his lips given a red lipstick blushing, he so shuddered himself. Their conversation stopped when they heard the voice of the coach giving cue to the cadets to participate in gymnastics together. They immediately headed to where the gymnastics held together.

Thank God, through the help of the editor, the contract finally went down as well. For the new rule I can't get up a chubby chapter. The new rules are a bit revot, I'll break into chapters. I'm not comfortable either, but the rules are. So, I'll be up more chapters going forward. Thanks for the support🙏
