Today, most districts have their own dande group, who performs until the second day of the new year. While visiting different houses, the singer collects money in his hat while performing. The money is donated as a token of appreciation for the entire ensemble. Some people today still believe that if the dande group does not visit them on new year's day, that they will have bad luck during the new year. Yet others hold the thought that after the dande group leaves they set off fireworks in order to make the event more meaningful.
