The Music  Department at William Parker School houses the Hastings Gamelan. It is an iron and brass Gamelan with both slendro and pelog tunings. It is called "Alun Madu" which means "A Wave of honey". The gamelan arrived in 1992 and was given its name by the Indonesian Cultural Attaché on Saturday 18 July, at a gamelan concert with the South Bank Gamelan Players and a Wayang Kuilit and dance.
