They were in the front row, little off center to the left. Now I've sat in the front row before, it was next to impossible to see the whole team perform as one unit. When you are that close up, you can usually focus on a group of individuals, but you can't focus on the team as a whole. How could the judges possibly see any of the formations properly from that close up? Do judges usually sit in the front row? And this was also the first time I've seen a committee actually point out where the judges are seated(I havent been to a competition in a while, so maybe I this is normal these days). I always thought judges were spread out or seated somewhere where they could see the intricate details of the dance and also see all of the formations(the lines, etcc) properly. Sh*t if I was captain and I knew that the judges were that close, I'd tell some of the finer girls on my team to bat their eyes a little at the uncles(whatever it takes to win right?)... hahahahah....
