Wow, this was a fantastic competition. It was really great to meet everyone and see all the teams perform.
I loved the idea of having a picnic as the pre-competition mixer. It really brought all the teams together and the games were a creative and fun way to decide the lineup of the show.
The competition itself was really well-organized, the entire committee was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were literally ALWAYS there when you needed them. My brother was the one injured on Gajjde Gabroo, and whole committee did everything they could to help him out. A special shoutout to Andy and Aaron who really went completely out of their way in assisting us in getting him to the hospital and taken care of. Also thanks to Benny and Gifty who also were a huge help. It was great to see the community come together in the face of an unfortunate incident like this and support each other, and we're thankful to everyone who expressed their concern.
With that being said, big ups to Anooj for picking up the choreography so fast and holding it down for his team the next day in Rohit's place! He really did brilliantly for picking up the routine so fast!
As for the team performances, I only have a few words, you can all decide for yourselves how they did when you see videos.
It was terrible how HPD's phumans got stuck, cause if it wasn't for that, they really would have the competition hands down. There were no visible mistakes, and the routine was completely folk with lots of energy.
Nachdi Jawani's jhummar section made my heart beat a little faster. That is all.
PPA downright killed their performance. The red jodi was exceptionally graceful, and I honestly could not keep my eyes from them.
KFAC brought a great routine too, really consistent with their energy kept it pure folk.
I was a little disappointed with both SGPD's live and music category, I'm used to seeing them really blow the competition away, but the routines were quite messy in some areas.
The AVA girls destroyed the competition, I'm astonished they didn't win. The energy was always high and the formations were always on point, as well as the execution. Congrats girls for being on such a high winning streak! You've really come far!
Phulkari group was pretty good, I just think 8 girls really didn't fill up the stage at all though. You either needed more girls or it would have been better if the formations/execution was bigger. But hey, what you did got you first place, so you all are obviously doing something right congrats!
I don't want to comment on the music categories, because each time I watch the videos my opinion keeps differing from what I saw when I watched live, but congrats to all the placing teams! Overall, I was disappointed with Virsa's, and SGPDs. From what I've seen of them before, I know they can do better and they were pretty messy. I liked DCMPAA's and WB's. Jawani Warriors were absolutely amazing...incredible stamina and energy throughout. Big ups to Furteeley Shokeen for pulling off a great performance despite the fact that you had to start over cause the CD skipped. Really good job!
Speaking of videos, I know most teams already have theirs, but in case you want another one, I have:
Virsa:OT
SGPD music
AVA
NJ live
If someone on the team PMs me, I can send it to you
