What an awesome weekend, Fusion is officially my favorite stage in the bhangra circuit, having all the teams sitting right there is such a great experience! Huge thanks to the BF committee for such a well organized weekend. Congrats to NYPD, APD, and CMU on stellar performances. And great job to all the teams, every single team brought it and it was wonderful to meet all of you!
We will be posting our vid, just trying to get a good quality version/angle. If you have a video of us please PM me!
And the aunty danceoff was terrifying, I can see my future...

And the aunty danceoff was terrifying, I can see my future...
Nachde Punjabi Gabhru- This was the local exhibition team. They tore it up and had the sickest outfits of the night. These kids were better than some of the teams competing.
I Bhangra- I honestly don't know how the hell they got accepted into this competition.
ASD- Did a great job but some of the girls lacked energy at certain points. The Obama gimmick was funny as hell.
PDAP- First time seeing this team preform. Definitely a team to look out for in the future. Only thing was that their routine was messy at certain parts. Tina Aunty tore it up.
CMU- I missed their performance but i heard they were a lot better than they were last year.
UCLA- They improved a lot from their last performance. Changed up their style and got new outfits. loved their jhummar.
APD- some of the dancers were making really awkward faces on stage. You guys need to work on your nakhra big time. Also, there were way too many stunts. Did not deserve to get 3rd place.
SMD- Cleanest routine of the night. Good Choreo. Dholi's outfit was a little odd... They deserved 2nd place.
Wolverine- Good first performance. The intro was a little slow for my taste but the routine got better as it went on. The choreo was sick as hell. Manu (blue) tore it up...best dancer of the night.
MBT- I could see a little change in style but not much. They had good energy (some people had too much at times and looked very bad) Their execution was good for the most part. Their song selection was dope.
NYPD- They were clearly the best team of the night. Everything was on point for these guys. The only thing that caught my eye was the routine got messy at some fast points.
The MC's did a great job with all the dance offs and bringing the crowd into it. The guy with the purple pugh in the college dance off was sick.

awesome weekend. the show was just nuts, every team brought it hard and kept the entire crowd into it the whole time. I would say the lineup ended up being more hype than last year, and being front and center made it that much better.
just a quick list of good and bad things fusion did this year for future competition organizers:
+ fun mixer, especially when ur on sandhu's team
+ hotel is amazing. comp organizers always spring for the better hotel if possible
+ teams sitting up front is always appreciated, especially while performing
+ pizza for teams on bus after show, saves time. giving teams the time to pregame hard is the best gift u can give
+ always the best afterparty. how can u beat having the party at the venue with 3 djs on stage.
- no liasons, our team and a few others only had the contact info for the lead chair who picked up 1/4 calls
- while we drove, most teams flew but were not assisted from the airport at all. real lame when every organizer is from detroit and im guessing mobile
- lineup selection. pick em randomly out of a hat in front of us or explain ur selection methodology.
- preparty was wayyy too far. detroit isnt exactly the safest place to walk around in and we saw a ton of kids leaving the party way to drunk to drive. swi was trying to convince them not to. wolverine, if ur going to plan on a party this far, book a bus back to hotel rather than risk the safety of anyone
- need designated, labeled, overseen areas behind stage to leave props. we were told to leave everything there after tech, and while pdap was performing we were missing 2 khunday and all our katos. not the best feeling minutes before performing
- organizers rarely found at hotel, and no one was on the buses to take us to the venue, jus thought that was kind of weird..
- forcing teams into seats an hour prior to doors open when everyone was still getting ready and 4 teams hadn't arrived yet
- every room got busted around 11 (apd u all got busted like 4 times right, lol), usually organizers help deal with the hotel and cops but i didn't see anyone, could be mistaken
+/- well run tech rehearsals, but stop serving indian food! im dholi so i indulged but most dancers didnt share my excitement
overall, like danny said, there need to be more comps like fusion that offer the kind of mix and variety of teams. fusion has all the elements to make a great comp (venue, hotel, reputation, crowd) but does not have the level of professionalism and respect to teams that are now the standard set by similar level comps like VIBC, Bruin, Boston, and Burgh.
finally shoutouts to apd/smd/pdap, see u on the beach. also big ups to MBT for throwing everything they had on their homestage. it was absolutely a placeworthy performance while staying close to their age-old mich style.

@jugdeep- Ibhangra would really appreciate real criticism. saying that you don't know "how the hell" we got into the competition does not help us learn on how to improve. Thanks.
Ibhangra would love to congratulation SMD,NYPD,APD and CMU on their award winning performances! We really enjoyed all of the performances. We'd additionally like to thank all the teams that supported us and cheered for us at the competition- special shout out to MBT, APD, PDAP and CMU...we really loved chillen with you guys!
We would love to hear back any criticism, but would really appreciate it if it could be said in a nicer way. thank you!
