Theoretical Review Reog Ponorogo
Since his birth in 1235 AD, the art of Reog Ponorogo has developed in its growth.
Reog dance basically imitates the story of King Bantar Angin when he proposed to the daughter of the King of Kediri, Dewi Songgo Langit. But ended in failure (Soemarto, 2014 :14) Reog Ponorogo dance consists of several actors such as jathilan, warok enom, dhadak merak, bujang ganong, clana rentandana, and warok tuwek. Reog Ponorogo has become a tourism icon in Ponorogo because it is not only known by local tourists but also internationally. Even some schools, from Elementary School (SD) to Senior High School (SMA) have required Reog as a compulsory subject at school, so it's not just an extracurricular. Reog Ponorogo comes from the conditions that Dewi Songgolangit asked when Prabu Sewandana wanted to propose to him. He asked for two-headed animals, namely a lion and a peacock. From there emerged Reog with a human body with the head of a tiger and a peacock (Writing Team, 2020: 2).
Gamelan instruments in this dance accompaniment consist of flutes, ketipung, kethuk, kenong, kempul, gongs, drums and angklung. Starting from small children to adults, they are always busy watching this dance at several events, including Grebeg Suro, weddings, 17 August events, the Reog National Festival, and many other activities. The dancers in the Reog Ponorogo dance are also equipped with costumes when dancing according to their respective actors. The make up used also adjusts to the role of each dancer.

Reog . National Festival
The National Reog Festival is an annual event organized by the Department of Culture, Tourism, Youth and Sports of Ponorogo Regency to enliven theevent Grebeg Suro which falls on 1 Suro or 1 Muharram (Wulansari & Utami, 2020;Arianti, 2021). The National Reog Festival itself was enlivened not only by native dancers from Ponorogo Regency but also outside of Ponorogo as followed by Malang, Jember, Surabaya, Balikpapan, Wonogiri, Gunung Kidul and many others. This event is held at night and is a complement to the series of Grebeg Suro in Ponorogo. To enliven this event, the Department of Culture, Tourism, Youth, and Sports of Ponorogo Regency also invited a number of government officials such as the regent and deputy, members of the Regency DPRD, the Department of Tourism and Culture of East Java Province and many others.
Indirectly, the Reog National Festival which is regularly held in Ponorogo is an effort to preserve cultural traditions, educate about traditions and culture and create tolerance in realizing unity. Considering that this cultural tradition has existed since ancient times and we as the nation's next generation have an obligation to maintain, care for and preserve so that it is not eroded by the progress of the times or taken by other countries, especially with the presence of the dhadak peacock, it is enough to attract the interest of the audience and as the uniqueness of Reog Ponorogo.
The dhadak peacock (barongan) player is a player as a lion whose head is seized by a peacock and is always followed by a baron. As if as the hind legs of a lion (Mujab, 2016: 23). Elements of cultural tourism that can attract tourists include: Language; Public; Handycrafts; Food; Music and Arts; History; Ways of working; Religion; Building Architecture; Education System (Supriono, 2020: 71).
From the points above, it is related to the Reyog National Festival, which is the first for the community. Where the surrounding community is always enthusiastic and regularly participates in the Reyog National Festival. The second is handicrafts where the properties used in the National Reyog Festival are the results of community crafts such as the dhadak peacock. The third is music and art where the music in the dance is special and includes the original local arts of Ponorogo. Fourth, namely history, by holding the National Reyog Festival, it has indirectly become a real step in preserving history so it needs to be maintained.

C. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Realization of Education and Tolerance Creation through the Reog Ponorogo National Festival in the Frame of Diversity
Reog Ponorogo National Festival (FNRP) is an event an annual event held by the Ponorogo Regency Government, in this case the Ponorogo Regency Culture, Tourism, Youth, and Sports Department. At the Ponorogo National Reog Festival (FNRP) is a Reog festival with adults participating in high school (SMA), colleges and universities. high, as well as the local reog contingent of Ponor ogo and outside Ponorogo even the international Reog contingent. The name FNRP is a new name, previously the name was the National Reog Festival or FRN, this name was changed because those who participated in the Reog festival were not only from Indonesia but also from abroad. In 2016 the international Reog contingent that followed was from Korea, while in 2017 the country that followed was Japan. Not only the dancers who were enthusiastic in enlivening this FNRP, but the enthusiasm of the audience was also very large, from the 2013 Ponorogo Disparpora data, it showed that visitors from 2010-2012 continued to increase.

From the data on the percentage of visitors above, it can be said that the community is very happy to see Ponorogo's annual event, namely the FNRP. Educating the public about Reog Ponorogo is quite easy because if the audience is enthusiastic about seeing the Reog festival, of course it has shown that they love this ancestral culture, coupled with the reading of a short legend about Reog by the Reog festival master of ceremonies (Pak Marga). which is organized and adds to Reog's insight to the community (Kotrek, 2018).
As for the teenagers themselves, they not only have received education, but they have preserved the Reog culture. Because the FNRP is also attended by various schools, of course the players in the FNRP are teenagers who are still in school. Therefore, the FNRP must continue to be carried out so that it is always an education for teenagers and the community and of course to continue to preserve this unique art of the Wengker Earth.
Besides being able to be used as a vehicle for education, the implementation of this FNRP also describes the tolerant behavior of the Ponorogo community. It is proven that every year the FNRP always runs well and there is no chaos between the players and the audience. Because in the FNRP, all Reog contingents who will perform must bring their own supporters, and each Reog contingent also brings different Reog festival dance models, this difference can be seen because in each Reog contingent's performance the music rhythm and movement must be different. However, this difference does not mean a problem, but the difference shows that each Reog contingent has creativity, the best winner in FNRP is creativity in presenting the Reog festival.
In 2017, the overall winner of FNRP was won by Reyog Brawijaya, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang. The university, which is often called UB, was able to attract judges to be the best in the 2017 Reog Ponorogo National Festival. In addition to selecting the overall winner and the best presenter from 1 to 10, the Ponorogo Regency Government also gave special awards to the Reog contingent who were always consistent in participating in the FNRP every year.
After the general champion was announced, there was no chaos or disapproval from the Reog contingents and their supporters. This shows that the implementation of the FNRP has benefits and lessons. The benefit that can be taken is that with the FNRP, people's love for the art of Reog continues to grow, besides that, education can add insight to the audience.
The lesson that can be taken and implemented in life is tolerance. From the implementation of the FNRP, everyone, both contingent supporters and nonsupporters or just watching, has shown tolerance between each other, because between all the spectators it does not cause chaos. So, with that tolerance, unity can be realized in Diversity in Indonesia. This finding a line with Syafutra, S., Montessori, M., & Suhono, S. (2021) showed that tolerance makes an harmony life of social life in their daily interaction. Thus, the motto of the Indonesian people, namely "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which has different meanings but remains one, can be realized through an art, culture, and tradition.
Differences between cultures are differences in the principles of interpretation of life, not about the subtleties of aristocratic behavior, the peculiarities of biological races, or the process of evolutionary growth. Each culture standardizes and preserves what it considers the most valuable from generation to generation, in its own way (Bambang, 2019;Angraini, et al., 2022). From the quote above, it can be concluded that from the various cultural differences that exist, what must be done by the next generation is to preserve it because it is part of the frame of Diversity. Especially when the FNRP has become an educational material for teenagers of the same age and the community, it's not just for education, it can even be said to be cultural conservationists, there's also a contingent from high school. This Reog is to remain sustainable and not to be reclaimed by other countries, besides that of course it can also be used as education through the legend of Reog Ponorogo which is usually read by Mas Marga (the annual MC of FRM and FRNP). After all, for tolerance, it's definitely tolerance, bro, every contingent that appears must bring supporters, but until yesterday's Reog festival there were no brawls. Kabeh Podo gets along well and greets each other. The Reog players themselves, even though they have different characters, but if you stay in harmony, you never struggle (fight). From these two things, we can conclude for ourselves that the FNRP is not only an education, but also a creator of tolerance, so that if tolerance is created, it is certain that the unity of cultural diversity exists in this country 5. Maybe there is a message from Mbah Kotrek to the community or us. as a student to maintain the original culture of Ponorogo? My message is one, be a generation that loves this ancestral culture, "let's go kabeh podo understand caritane Reog ben lek enek wong takok dance with reog crew dewe iso replied, true Reog follows culture ne crew dewe ngger, kamangko iku let's tresnani and jogo Reog supoyo stay sustainable and ojolali with your culture, you are dewe, i.e. tolerance". He added.

D. CONCLUSION
From the above discussion it can be formulated that the National Festival reog Ponorogo in a cultural tradition Ponorogo can be used as an educational and creator of tolerance to realize the unity of diversity in the country because at the time of reading the legend briefly reog by the master of ceremonies festival reog (Mr. clan) it has been organized education and added Reog's insight to the community. As for the teenagers themselves, they not only have received education, but they have preserved the Reog culture. Because the FNRP is also attended by various schools, of course the players in the FNRP are teenagers who are still in school. Therefore, the FNRP must continue to be carried out so that it is always an education for teenagers and the community and of course to continue to preserve this unique art of the Wengker Earth.
Besides being able to be used as a vehicle for education, the implementation of this FNRP also describes the tolerant behavior of the Ponorogo community. It is proven that every year the FNRP always runs well and there is no chaos between the players and the audience. Because in the FNRP all the Reog contingents who will perform must bring their own supporters, and also each Reog contingent also brings different Reog festival dance models, the difference is visible because in each performance the Reog contingent the music rhythm and movement must be different. However, this difference does not mean a problem, but the difference shows that each Reog contingent has creativity, the best winner in FNRP is creativity in presenting the Reog festival.
