Meanwhile, according to Sherly Nur Hikmah, PSP lecturer who is also the coach of the vocal group and male seriosa singers, said that this event was the second time they participated. She is grateful for winning in each participation. “For this year, the bonus is the male seriosa who succeeded from dozens of participants from various campuses. For his size as a beginner in singing seriosa it is extraordinary. One thing I learned from this event, it turns out that the talent of our students is not inferior to friends from other provinces.
We do not forget to thank the technical and management support from PSP lecturers, faculty leaders, as well as the rector and vice rector for student affairs and alumni, so that we can practice and process smoothly. If the coaching and management support from the campus can be more sustainable and consistent, God willing, in the future we can be even better in achieving achievements,” he added.
Congratulations to the winners, may they continue to make achievements and inspire others. (admin)
