Seven years ago, when we formed MOB Sydney, we had a dream to represent Australia on an international platform. We wanted to take our bhangra overseas against all those great teams in America and Canada, who we’d only watched in videos on GTV. That dream always seemed so distant but on the 28th of May 2017, at Bruin XIX, that dream became a reality.
We have a few special mentions:
-None of this would have been possible without the unconditional love and support we got from our families and friends who put up with us being at practice for hours and hours on end.
-Thank you to the entire Australian bhangra circuit for showing so much love to a group of 16 guys who thought they could take on the world.
-We would also like to thank all the supporters for constantly believing in us and enjoying what we worked so hard to show on stage.
-A HUGE shoutout goes to Abhijit for his talent in making our intro video and all those comic images that we built our entire set around.
-This set wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of Karan (Captain), Prince, Justin, Karnvir and Prashant. All the choreo, formations and gimmick design you guys developed didn’t go unnoticed.
-A very special shoutout to GSimz for the HECTIC mix and always getting our requests done on time. Here is the link to that amazing mix if you haven’t had it on loop already:
-Thank you to Ram Mahalingam who stepped in to perform with us when we were short on boys and for learning the set so quickly in LA. Also thanks for the GALLONS OF WAAAATTTTEEEEERRRRR
-Shoutout to all the people who helped us at the Bruin competition; Simran, Guransh and Vaibhav in particular and the rest of the Bruin committee.
-MASSIVE shoutout to all the competing teams. It was awesome meeting and kicking back with you all. You guys provided us with some fierce competition and we hope to be back, bigger and better.
If you had been following our facebook page prior to the competition you would have seen the following comic strip images. This is the story that our set follows – a sort of comic book hero theme with a classic story of vengeance. Various points of the story were displayed on the projector screen throughout the performance, though these were difficult to capture on video. You can use these comic pages to follow the story with the songs, choreography and gimmicks as they were all designed to interweave with this plot.
The set we showed at Bruin was a collective effort of months of practice and refinement but unfortunately not everything went according to plan. One of our imperative gimmicks was missing (around the 5 min mark everything goes black with spotlights) and if you view the comics, we are sure you can figure it out. We were disallowed one of our props and so we unfortunately had a gimickless section.
Here is our video from the night thanks to Harjot Hundal. Please leave your feedback/thoughts, even if it’s as little as ‘I liked/disliked the move at 0:45’. All critique is very much appreciated as we’d love to improve and come back to America to compete in the future.
