Borneo Hard Rock Festival is one of the annually event of Executive Board of English Student Association (ESA) FKIP Untan, in the division of Event Organizing. The purpose of BHRF is to implement “Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi”. It is also the place for appreciating English through music, developing the ability of West Kalimantan musicians, and especially in BHRF XIV sending the message “Save Our Nation” to the loved-music in West Kalimantan.
In Borneo Hard Rock Festival, the fluency and accuracy of vocalist in singing the song have the big part in scoring. Besides, the juries also score the group bands performance in the stage, the skill of playing the instrument, harmonisation and balancing of the group band.
The big hope for Borneo Hard Rock Festival is developing the conciousity of the society in West Kalimantan about how importance the togetherness in this country. As long as we know, the togetherness is starting to lose in this life now. The hope is not only for developing the togetherness, but also making the chance for the potential Hard Rock bands to be the best musicians.
