Both on a personal note and on behalf of my team, we'd like to thank the committee for such an amazing weekend. We had a blast. We enjoyed every minute of everything.

I'd be here all night typing if I wrote personal shout outs, but it was my pleasure to meet (and to some become reacquainted with) everyone that I did-you guys know who you are. It was a pleasure to share the stage with you, and I hope to meet you guys all again.

Congrats to SMD and Cornell. I watched Cornell from the side-you guys were awesome. And SMD-y'all were NASTY. HUGE improvement from Allstars. Always a pleasure chilling with you ladies and can't wait to see you again!!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see all the teams so I can't offer a review.

Review Alert

JJ- Folk'est set of the night, tons of great ideas and steps. Too much "I'm gonna be the man" factor going on. Guys were not dancing as a team the way they have in the past. Energy was lacking, and going first definately hurt you guys. Additionally, cleanliness was also a factor at times. Great set, sub-par execution...

CMU- first time I have seen you guys, nice set, had you at third with Cornell...nice choreo, and you had the best outfits of the night...try and get your form up guys...seriously, if you want it bad, you have to practice in the mirror all day, and try and folk it up. I can see you guys being stronger if your form gets better...also, try and close the talent gaps b/w featured jodis and background jodis.

SMD- Cleaner than Albany but less energy than Albany. The new outfits are nice, but the duppattas need more bling so you guys pop out more. Saaps/Daangs- scrap it and start from scratch...it just isn't hitting as hard as it should. Also, your saaps limit your performance because they are flimsy...your mix was nasty, but your steps diddn't sell the mix to me the way they should have...for fusion 1. props needs to be better, 2. energy needs to be 15% higher at the end 3. your moves are still transitioning to traditional, get rid of the choreo that you have been using for more than 3 comps now 4. new mela, 5. sicker ending...

AEG- did not get to see this performance because I was in it...

Cornell- saw you guys from the side stage...no more spray paint gimmick guys, it allows you to rest, and takes was too long with little pay-off...energy was hella good, and the set was the folkest for the collegiate teams...you guys have lost some of your discipline from years ago...bring Cornell back on the scene the way it deserves to me...dedicate more time and you guys can own, I can tell that you guys have way more potential in you...

Roch- did not get to see you because I was backstage after our performances...

1. Don't shit on judges, because one day, they will shit right back on you...just never a good idea...
2. The new Klasikhs mixtape is nasty.

Shouts to Karan, my jodi.

Why so much hate bro?
My post is has nothing to do with hate bro. It was a general statement about how certain things at comps are just funny these days. It's the way u presume my post that brings the word hate in your mouth. You read posts on a pre-mind set based on who is writing it rather than taking the post for what it is meant to mean.

hahah thanks all for the shout outs,
It was our pleasure, trust me, its not many times a year that tons of people that share the same passion as myself and my team (bhangra) are at our university, so when they are, it naturally makes us want to show hospitality, aside from that
We're a team ourselves and know exactly what can make or break a competition experience for teams, so we tried to the best of our ability to run the competition the way we would want it run had we been the ones competing....i hope we were successful in that mission,

Aside from all that, IT WAS MAAAAAAD FUN HANGIN WITH YA'LL CRAZY PEOPLES!
Thanks for the shout out - Cynthia, Victor, Kinnell, Ankush, Steve, and the rest CANNOT WAIT to see yall again at another comp sometime soon

STEVE (Cornell) - YOU KNOW IT MAN, i was disappointed not seeing ya'll at the afterparty once you placed lol its cool, that just means double the alcohol and double the bhangra at pao or next time we meet buddy lol

I'm curious to know how you feel as if Saleem is "hating" on you. From what I can tell, he just responded to your comment in a mature manner when you obviously took a stab at him. I'm really interested to see how you believe these competitions should be run.

my reply was to Aman and not Saleem. I really don't understand where i said anything about the organization of the comp? All i said was that these days certain things at comps are just funny. I understand why you think i was replying to Saleem but i never said anything about the organization of the comp.

I understand that. I read too quickly as I was trying to catch up on btf. I mean it is quite obvious you did take a stab at the judges and i'm quite curious to know how you believe them to be underqualified. Also, how do you go about changing the culture/nature of bhangra where "bhangra is all about getting high and drinking". I'm not trying to take a stab at you, but moreso interested in your opinion.

no one ever reviews us cause we're always last :( :-\
ahaha Rochester, you guys killled it despite the technical difficulty (which btw we apologize for)
But in all honesty, speaking as Ravi Binghamton Bhangra member and not as Ravi Bhangra Fever Committee, i really respect the way you guys held it down with the technical difficulties

we dealt with a similar situation recently at Muqabla, and it definitely does affect the team, the performance, in MANY more ways than can be seen from the general publics eyes, in the sense that it can affect nakhra, it can affect team confidence (especially newer members who may not have danced on a stage in front of an audience before), and alot more...but in all seriousness the way it looked to me, all aspects of your performance were magnified once the technical difficulties came into play it was more like

you didnt dance to the music, the music played to your dancing -- your energy was greater, you hit the steps on beat, and with synchronization - definitely props to you

I definitely feel it was MUCH stronger than your Muqabla performance with 4 guys 4 girls,

nor is it the place to be self-righteous, but i'm still curious as I believe it can only help the bhangra community.
