  • Tejasvir Singh Rekhi for always giving 150% for the team and eating 100% of the food in Pittsburgh
  • Much love to our FCB family from Pittsburgh and our out of towners as well, we couldn't have made it through comp day without you all and all of your help
  • VLaks Photography for taking dope nasty pictures of us on stage
  • Dik Dik Singh for helping tie paghs and tuck turlas
  • Congratulations to NSG on First Place and AEG on Third!

  • Major ups to all of our newbies Rushil, Vivek, Puneet, and Kunal for exceeding all expectations and killing it at your first Burgh; also Kunal for driving 4+ hours roundtrip everyday for 2 weeks to make sure he could be in Pittsburgh for practices, no more driving for the next year

If you start our video at exactly:

11:58:48 - Rushil will slip on his chaadar at exactly midnight

11:58:05 - Saagar and Sid flash the audience at exactly midnight

11:56:13 - Saagar's chaadar is literally over his head at exactly midnight

11:56:10 - Kash will bounce you into 2018

11:55:47 - DJ Kavs will do an extra beitke at exactly midnight

11:55:13 - Sid will ding-a-ling you right into the new year

11:54:50 - The strobe lights will end at exactly midnight after approximately a minute of flashing, could be kinda trippy

11:52:45 - Mitra will proceed to do the greatest sequence of double chaffa ever seen at exactly midnight

11:52:14 - Neel's chaadar will decide to fly into his face and expose everything at exactly midnight


Would love and appreciate any feedback and hope everyone enjoys.

Much love,
First Class Bonerz

Sick performance, sick dancing. Jhoomer was clean and crisp, and the GT road segment had me smiling. I think you were disadvantaged by going 16. Not because your 4 bottom dancers were bad dancers. It's because the stage looked over packed and dancers looked cramped, something to consider if you come back to burgh next year. It also became hard to distinguish formations. I was watching from a balcony view, and sometimes I couldn't tell what the formations were. Another thing was the move modifications. I'm all for them but sometimes in a set judges look for you to do a basic move for 8 counts or so. Think that judge is gonna only see that performance once, they aren't going to catch all the mods you make. It ends up being that they don't add the value to the set you think they are adding, and not modifying the move is more advantageous. Overall, I honestly thought you guys won after seeing that performance, but I can also see where NSG beat you guys ins some categories. Keep up the good work and the placing streak!

Side note: One thing that makes FCB truly special is maximizing dancer potential. FCB can take anyone and make them a good dancer.

hype set----remarkable performance after an unfortunate tech-difficulty.

Positives
- I loved the sapp jumps starting at 1:19 with Kash at the front
- Jhummar transition was fun to watch
- GT Road was the main main highlight of your set for me (4:44 - 4:48 and 5:08 - 5:10 were hype)
- ikko tera lakh warga circle was creative- i loved that idea
- Sagar's nakhre @ 6:20 (killed it)
- Ending baitkas idea were the best ones of the night

Some things I thought needed improvement
- the mela opening with the flags---not a fan--timing was messy...i get the home town theme but it took away from the dance..if you compare this to the opener that got you guys first @ burgh, you will see a huge difference. I think that if you guys were able to begin with a move as a whole @ 1:19 as a whole team that would have made a huge statement with the amount of dancers y'all had.
- 5:10 - 5:27 transition from faslan to khunde was too long-- took away the momentum that you guys were able to make
- Song selection - Apart from the jhummar transition, GT Road and Iko tera Lakh Warga, I really wasn't a fan of the other songs.


Congrats guys--and girls
