So we're trying to create a public BTF database as a public resource for comps to easily find judges. The way we're trying to achieving that is getting everyone to fill out this form and put all this information on a giant public directory for everyone to see.
Process
What'll happen is, you...
So Howie made this awesome set of saaps that I got for a few of my friends as a graduation/we’re all done captaining gift. Red saap with a white interior and he was able to etch in the words “Forever First Class” and the FCB logo. Honestly, it is the coolest bhangra related gift I have ever seen...
Honestly, and I understand how this would probably never happen. But I’d want judges to have a brief 10 min discussion with every team in the room and just overall talk about why they placed the way they placed and then have individual meetings with each team. Or honestly, just have a 30ish...
First and foremost ask if the venue can provide a list of lighting cues they have. Then you can ask for something they can actually do and you can avoid a lot of hassles. If not I try to be as descriptive as possible. When you’re asking for lights to turn on, say “white lights 100%” be sure to...
Hey sorry about that @Danceinyourpants the first post by a new account is always auto flagged for approval by a mod just because a lotta new rando accounts from china are made tryna advertise some really random stuff.
I've been to quite a few comps and I gotta give it up to @Carolina Indian Arts for throwing an absolute dope comp their first year at it. From beginning to end easily shows this is a comp run by Bhangra dancers that understand what bhangra teams need.
Before the Comp: I can only really talk...
Nah dawg, Lavesh is legit. Like don't get me wrong I don't agree with everything he says and he definitely has said some things I give some side eye too. But if you pick his brain and make an attempt to reach out and understand his critiques you can learn so much from the dude. Like personally...
@Queen City Bhangra I'd agree with what @smehta313 said. Like I should probably never judge FCB ever because it's been my main team for 4 years. Maybe like 5 years from now when I'm not super attached. But I've also danced on Furteelay and MOB for a comp or two and I personally think I can judge...
aight so I can't speak to BU/FAUJ but I can speak about FCB/Pitt/CMU. I think your question is def warranted, mainly because I think not only you, but a lotta peeps in the circuit just aren't aware of how we actually work.
FCB is pretty much only Pitt students, at pretty much any given time...
Circuit probably would have actually died without academies/independent teams pushing the circuit forward in terms of technique and stuff. Imagine if SPD didn't start ripping every team a new one. We wouldn't have this current push for higher level execution
So clearly there's some disagreement about what went on at the comp. Would love for all the different parties to give their two cents.
Please be respectful, all for calling out people but don't unnecessarily make personal insults.
......so basically everything everyone is suggesting is what UBJ did (publically posted resumes, scoresheets were sent to teams, judges feedback was requested and sent to judges, etc) but everyone got mad because no one took the time to read what they were doing and just assumed they were fuckin...
What if there was a judges tab on BTF or a pinned post on the main bhangra discussion page people could post a google doc link to their bhangra resume publically? From then on if a comp asks for a resume they should all just be forwarded to that pinned post with all the resumes? That way if...
