In a brief interview after their performance, the band members expressed their gratitude and pride for being given such an opportunity.

“We are truly delighted and honored to be trusted to perform at an event of this scale. It was a privilege to be part of ITB’s PMB,” they said.

This freshmen band’s performance was more than just entertainment—it stood as a symbol of collaboration and creativity that ITB students bring with them from the very first day of their academic journey at the university.
