HEY TJCO! Rachel Yang is here to leave a post man! I hardly post, so you guys can go buy toto later.I just wanna say, JIAYOU FOR SYF! Show the people out there what TJCO is made of!

When i joined TJCO in dec2006 (im a dsa student), the average turnout for practices was 13. There were many instruments missing but we carried on pracs as usual. I rmb how xulaoshi(our ex ex teacher ic) went to the portal to look for students who used to be in CO, and called them up one by one, pestered them for MONTHS (i really mean months) and got them to help out for our SYF. We had really really very few people then. We had prac 4 times a week, each until 8-9pm. And by the time i got home, it was 10+. I only had the energy to bathe and then go to slp. No time for hw(but my tutors were really understanding =]) Our choice piece was a really difficult song, with the weird weird 5/8 and the VERY BEAUTIFUL HUQIN MELODY (=DDD). TJCO07 did the miracle by getting the GWH with just 59 people onstage, of which prolly abt 10+ were guest players. We only had 4 zhongruans, 1 gaoyinsheng (harry: why yiheng so loud!) and 3 out of 5 cellos were guests. When the results were announced, we all jumped up from our seats, screaming, yelling and crying. Getting GWH is a once in a lifetime kinda thing, and you will NEVER forget it. i'll nvr forget the hundreds of litres of tears ive shed during pracs, the hundreds of mucus-filled tissues(i was sick) i threw away the night before syf, the smiles and wide grins on everyone's faces after the results were announced (xulaoshi cried like a crybaby="]) and we were soooo HIGH that we threw junhong(our chairperson) up in the air.

To those who were with us 2 yrs ago, rmb the tears and hardship behind our GWH. You guys know that it's like that when it comes to SYF. Dont be disheartened by huang sheng's scoldings and your sudden slip of grades LOL.

Remember: dont play and hope for the miracle, play and MAKE the miracle.
