Dope formations, sick dancers, amazing set! You guys are too sick, Ricky, Bobby, Nav, NIPPY, Harry, Navdip, Jasprit, Gurpinder, Jimmy and so many more, you guys have great form. Sick set, one thing about these guys is their execution to the moves in this set, and the creation, keeping it traditional and folk with a 3 son jhoomer which I haven't seen in a while, y'all murked it, plain and simple!

nice!

the video quality is awesome if your computer can handle it.. unfortunately I don't fall under that category ha ha but thank you GTV!

just a question, what changes do you make to the audio? it's like the outer channels get amped and the mono channel gets blended in with the stage sounds and audience sounds.. mad trippy!

Not going to lie, GTV kinda ruined this performance for me.

Wasn't a fan of hearing the team come out and say that they would be "flawless on stage", are the "best team in Canada East", "one of the best" and that they "deserve it". A lot of bold statements that weren't held up or backed up by the performance. It's very difficult to hide from GTV and even though this was and still is one of my favorite performances of the night, the messiness of the routine was really evident thanks to the GTV clarity.

The intro saap formations weren't hit at all and a lot of formations weren't as crisp as they could have been. Half the guys had saaps opened right before doing spin-kicks. Shorter yellow adds too much swag and it detracted a lot. Khundey segment, in general is really messy, especially the chorus choreography. There's a lot of things that weren't evident in the initial videos, but easy to spot out in the GTV video.

Don't get me wrong. Still one of the better performances of the year and definitely something to be proud of. Definitely entertaining and some great creativity, but we've come to know NYPD as a team that focuses on execution and as a team that dances like an unit. It seems you guys started losing that at TDot and Elite but hopefully you guys get that balance back soon.

In regards to the statements made in the interview (which took place before the mixer), the question asked was "What do you want to get out of the weekend?", and as "bold" as the statements were, we feel that they were justified in that sense. Personally, I'm not a fan of the whole pre-game speech trend that's going on, captains/leaders have different ways of hyping up their teams before performances and not everything is camera friendly (which can seriously ruin the reputation and perceptions of teams).

Once again a huge shout-out to Harjot for the quality of work he puts into making these video's, although they might ruin it for some viewers they also help teams tighten up their routines for future performances.

i agree with nirpaal. i feel that as cool as it is to see sick exciting pump up speeches made by some of these teams before they go up, it would probably lead to more problems than anything. when people are pumping their team up, lots of random curse words and statements are probably going to be said. you are going ot have to tell your team they are the best team here and deserve first place etc etc.

of course this isnt the case for everyone but i feel like its common. hell even the amazing vcu pump up speech had someone say they "shoulda won vpd" which could draw arguement from others or some people might take it as an insult to the placing teams, but in the end its whatever gets your teams adrenaline pumping that extra bit for your performance.

i thought including the pump-up speeches was a great idea. Let's you get an insight into a performer's pre-dance mind state, and it's also just interesting. Take it for what it is, and don't judge a team by it, that's just stupid.


I used to tell my team i would piss on them if they effed up XYZ...lol...


personal, hype up speeches are fun to watch and i'm all for GTV including them...

i think its a sick idea too, i really enjoy watching them, but i think nirpaals point on teams being wrongly perceived by others could end up being an issue as well

Pump-up speeches do add to the performance video's I agree, however some teams have more at stake with what they say and how the public perceives them. For example, to a dancer the VCU pump-up speech seems like something that would hype you up and get you in the zone, but if a family member was watching all that cursing (even though it was censored) it could easily offend them. I'm strictly looking at it from a business perspective, if a parent is watching team XYZ act all cocky and whatnot on camera, they might not let their kids attend that teams academy, then that parent tells another parent, and before you know it team XYZ are the new bad boys of bhangra lol.
