It has been a year since TKWO last compete in a competition due to the mishap of the band room which saw almost all of the instruments destroyed and a year of no music. They only got the replacement of their full instruments late last year and since then the girls and their instructor struggled to polish back the team back to their glory. It was really, really a struggle I tell you! Their first performance after the mishap was in September last year at MCKK Royal concert as a guest team... and their performance was way behind the quality of the MC WO performance. Sedih la jugak kan...
Anyway, ever since then, they practiced harder and work so hard to improve the quality of their sound. A 4days workshop by a Japanese clinician Mr Keiichi Kurokawa was organized and sponsored by TKWO parents recently in the process of improving the girls music quality. And last weekend, for the first time ever after the mishap TKWO decided to enter the Piala Dato' Idris Jusoh competition in UKM (take note of the my previous post on how the parents help TKWO to recover their uniforms and all for this competition). So last Sunday morning, off to UKM I went to support my girl and TKWO in this very important competition of the 'comeback' of TKWO.
TKWO warming up outside the hall. Nora's girl, Nathra (wearing white) conducted the girls.

A few TKWO parents got together in the hall to cheer for our girls. A bunch of us decided to go on the 2nd level of the hall which has nicer view of the stage - over kan? :D
See the green tudungs? That's TKC team. The pink tudungs are SSP. The Yellow ones are MRSM Trolak.
Boys in black are SAS.

The girls were nervous getting for their turn...
First performance by SSP
SSPWind was conducted by Raja Muzaffar (who happened to coach both TKC and SSP)
They were soooo good! Their music was so loud and clear! Hebat!!
*mak dah berdebar giler masa ni!*
2nd performance by MRSM Trolak
Not bad!! I actually under estimate them! They are quite good, I must say! Tidak kurang hebatnya!!
Thumbs up MRSM Trolak!!
3rd performance by SAS
Conducted by their coach, Alfa who is also their alumni member.
As expected, SASWO performance was so dynamic! Very impressive!
*mak takutttt ahahhaha!*
4th performance by TKC
OMG... TKWO actually did very well!! For a 'comeback' performance, I would say they did extremely well!! We were extremely proud of the girls! And our own conductress (tak main la suruh coach conduct tau!), Nathra did extremely well for a first timer!! Some of the parents actually cried mengenangkan what the girls had gone through after the mishap. Their struggle and hard work really paid off!!
*mak pun rasa nak nangis bangga! haha!*
5th and last performance by Sekolah Sains Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, Pekan, Pahang
A very entertaining performance! A small team but they actually perform well!
Good job SEMSAS!!!
There was also a show performance by SK Bukit Bintang Utara. When they were performing, I was thinking like 'eh... my niece Tina must be one of the them performing nih!'
During the break, kita selfie2 ramai2... :D

Later, the girls had lunch together with the SSP girls. Nora and I decided to go out of UKM and eat KFC for lunch :D
Performed our Zuhur prayer at UKM mosque and later came back to Dewan Chancellor Tun Abdul Razak for the result announcement.
All the participants were anxious waiting for the result announcement.
And the result is..
Champion : SAS
Runner Up : SSP
2nd Runner Up : TKC
Best Conductor : SAS
(okay I protest!! He is not a student! Dah tua... hahaha! Dah expert kot?! :P)
The result was just like what I predicted! Alhamdulillah for TKWO! No 3 is not bad for a 'comeback' performance!! Am extremely proud of the girls!! Especially the Asterix girls who is leading the TKWO this year.
En Rejab, their previous instructor was there to support them.
