SMD had a wonderful time at Fever this weekend, huge thanks to the entire committee. Every single person is so helpful and any team needs were anticipated and dealt with. Great job on another successful Bhangra Fever, I highly recommend this competition to all teams.
Also congrats to AEG and Cornell on placing, I didn't see Cornell but from what I saw at Boston I'm sure it was well deserved. This was my favorite AEG performance to date, very clean and energetic, you guys are definitely going to bring it to Elite.
It was great hanging out with all the teams, personal favorite was the Benny Lava/Bollywood "boli session" backstage before the placings
If anyone has our video please PM me, and we'd appreciate it if you could hold off from posting any vids until after Bhangra Fusion (March 20th). Thanks!

Your messed up HKiran lolHkiran said:
I only watched JJ so I can only give my perspective on them...
A few tidbits from the weekend since I am unable to write a full-review until I get some sleep:
> A well-organized competition and the competition made improvements from last year. If it wasn't for all the dropped teams, it would have been a higher-tier competition.
> The competition needs to be better publicized. The audience was small.
> The first afterparty was at the hotel. NICE! Unfortunately, they didn't take credit cards and drinks were expensive.
> Our goldfish died.
> The DJ at the first afterparty was deaf. Could not mix bhangra. No sense of tempo, transition or pitch. My ears bled.
> A lot of people missed the shuttle to the second afterparty.
> I don't remember much of the second afterparty
Shout-outs: Ravi (Binghamton), Prerna (Binghamton), Arjun (Cornell), Amit (Cornell), Manpreet (Rochester), Ahmad (Rochester), Dheerja (smd), Navi (smd), shivani (CMU), Kunal (CMU), Nikhil (JJ), Havish (JJ), Govind (Michigan Med), saleem (Paparazzi status) and PJ
In a nutshell and in my opinion, they lacked a WOW factor. Decently clean, mad graceful but no energy. At points, it looked like dancers were tired. We all know that the VCU dancers are amazing dancers, but it really didn't show in the routine. A good performance, but from what I heard, smd and cornell hit much harder.Manjot said:

Kinnell I totally see a few of your points
lol about the goldfish, lol yeah you sure you didnt give it vodka? I do remember seeing that bottle of absolut being a bit empty and the fish bowl a bit more full....for a second the goldfish was tripping out as well lol just playing
but jokes aside I agree with a few of your points to a certain extent, but Personally i feel the audience was pretty decent
The audience although was significantly smaller than some huge shows like Blowout, Burgh, Pao, BBC, I feel was definitely more than some other competitions/shows I've been too in the past 2-3 years especially those in the upstate region...
two factors played a role in this
1) It was a long weekend-valentines weekend, so many Binghamton Students had gone back home or to other schools
2) The Huge snowstorm definitely affected many who were planning on attending from various regions
But my own personal opinion, I do feel for a 2nd year competition, the attendance rate although was not INCREDIBLY HIGH, also was a pretty decent audience number...just my opinion
But All In All It was a HELL OF A WEEKEND
It was Insanely Fun Meeting all the teams, judges, and dancers - definitely felt the sense of the bhangra community, havent felt it in a while just because I haven't been to an ONLY Bhangra Competition in a while, but it was great to feel that way again

Hahaha what effin joke.judges toasting with the teams hahaha. Bhangra is all abt getting high and getting drunk these days hahah I don't know wut else to say.JJ I wanna see your video please lol. These days if your popular enough on btf you can become a judge regardless if you actually know much abt bhangra or have run/coach/captain a BHANGRA team.
great job bu bhangra for putting on a pretty fun weekend. its tough for teams to run competitions these days, having to work so hard to compete on the circuit, and u guys pulled it off very nicely.
attendance was really weak though, i would say something like 300 max? it was especially discouraging for teams that were up first since none of the other teams were in the audience yet. u dance to entertain, and if there is no one to entertain it always reminds me of that one VIBC commercial a few years ago lol

AEG - such a fun performance guys, enjoy elite 8. also way to make the low attendance mixer a party
Roch - tech difficulties were roughhhhh, but way to pull through and good luck at blowout
cornell - way to bring it 100x harder than burgh. i thought u shoulda placed higher
jj - we all determined this weekend would have been 50% less fun without u
smd - saw from side, but fun performance and thanks for making backstage before awards a blast

I've accounted for 3 of the 4 judges and am pretty confident that no judges toasted with team(s) in the hotel lobby after the competition, as far as I know. As for the rest of your post, Sukhdip, I refuse to squabble on BTF. Every team received feedback from each judge, and each judge also encouraged the team captains to contact us if they have any additional questions. As Govind has posted elsewhere, we are available if any team has questions. You may e-mail, PM, or call me.Sukhdip S. Chhina said:
