The results of this study revealed that the Sagita Malay Orchestra employs numerous strategies to maintain its sustainability in Nganjuk. Using social media as a bridge to expand its target market, Sagita has successfully reached audiences in East Java and throughout Indonesia. As a result, a strategy for maintaining sustainability has been formed, including innovations in musical arrangements, the use of social media, collaborations with viral singers, establishing their music labels, improving performance quality, maintaining member solidarity, and finally, evaluation. These strategies are what Sagita has been implementing to support its sustainability up to the present day.
