Taiwanese School of Atlanta Drum Team Taiwanese School of Atlanta (TSA) Drum Team has made a lot of successes in many performances. We want everyone to become energized by the loud sounds from our drums because drums are used to energize the audience for events and ceremonies. TSA has been performing ever since 2008. We have gained more experience and more talents throughout the year. Every Saturday, we will practice for about two hours. We come up with new beats, ideas, and movements in which we presented in our routine. We reach an agreement on some beats and arrange the beat inside the routine. We also come up with movements such as kicking, spinning, hitting the sticks, and much more. TSA Drum Team not only performs in small events but also perform in big events and ceremonies such as Emory China Care Fundraiser Event, NAACP charity events, Who’s Who Award Ceremony for Asian American Communities, and the most well known event was the Annual Chinese New Year Festival at Chinese Cultural Center (2009,2011,2012). The Drum Team has experience lots of performances. Some members were lost from the team, but we also gained more talented members. Today the drum team is made up of seven drummers, each with unique skills. We also have a children drum team. Four of the drummers are graduating from high school and we hope that the children that we teach will also be as amazing as we are today. We hope that the children drum team will leads the school to next level and continue to help continue this tradition and prevent it to be lost.
TNT Dance Crew Started in the Fall of 2009, TrickaNomeTry (TNT) Dance Crew is an all male hip hop dance crew comin out of Emory University. Originally started with a group of friends in which some were dancers and the others trickers, they saw the potential of performing explosive, exciting, and impressive performances. The group evolved to a crew with an energetic style of dancing, focusing on choreography, visuals, and tricks (stunts), and striving to entertain and wow the crowd. The crew also loves humor and having fun. Combining all these factors together, the group never fails to amaze. As new classes and generations come to Emory University, we plan to keep the legacy going by recruiting new members every year and maybe someday, Trickanometry will be one of the many faces of Emory University that attract students to the school. TNT has performed for students at many Emory-affiliated events such as Lunar Banquet, Cultural Beats, and Emory Exito and at national events such as Kollaboration ATL in which they won 2nd place and Who's Who in Asian American Community Awards hosted by Sachi Koto, CNN news anchor.

After Party and Dress Code: "Opera Nightclub is the #1 Ranked Nightclub in Atlanta, GA (Nightclub and Bar Magazine) and has continued to keep Midtown dancing to the sounds of Top Name DJ’s for over 4 years. The list of Celebrities and DJ’s that have plugged into the Mainroom DJ Booth of Opera is extensive and contains such names as David Guetta, DJ Pauly D, Armin Van Buuren, DJ AM, Tiesto, Lil Jon and Swedish House Mafia. With 3 uniquely distinct environments, an exclusive second level VIP area, and a capacity of over 3000, the parties get insanely wild. The “Over-the-Top” styling of Opera Nightclub was a concept brought by the owners who also own and invest in some of the hottest nightclubs in Vegas. Believing that Atlanta lacked a truly elegant and elaborate venue, they quickly purchased the former Club 1150 and gave it a complete multi-million dollar makeover. The Mainroom features decadent crystal chandeliers, fog machines, bold red and gold paint, velvet curtains, an amphitheater design with a light and sound system that will blow your mind. The Venetian Room carries on the Mainroom theme with the addition of lush leather couches and Victorian mirrors to give it a more distinct feeling of comfort. The covered Cabanas have recently been redesigned with large comfy couches, flowing water from beautifully crafted fountains, ambient lighting that hang from above with swooping canopies that open up to a gorgeous view of the Midtown skyline. " Dress Code: No tennis shoes, flip flops, no timberland boots or work boots of any, no striped polos, no athletic gear, no excessively baggy clothes, baseball caps, shorts, white tee shirts
