great lineup! seeing buckeye at burgh has got me excited for the collegiate scene this year ;D

 

[angeblah]

SO excited to see these teams duke it out. Hope everyone enjoys their time in Music City!

Really strong lineup - shouts to UNC and CMU

 

[nmistry2]

This lineup is really sick

 

[BradRosenblum]

First of all this lineup looks sick. However I'm definitely a little disappointed VT Bhangra didn't make the cut after placing second here last year beating out teams like Buckeye (not to call anyone out and not trying to start anything of course, that's not the point of this at all). Nachde Nashville is a 2nd year comp this year, and while it's great to see it getting so big so quickly, it feels like the standard of collegiate comps is settling out to either "Blowout level" or "First year level" with very little in between for up-and-coming teams. This is another manifestation of what was said in Howie's post about losing the fire among younger teams who aren't already at that top level. Nonetheless, I'm very very excited to see what happens at this comp and good luck to all the teams, especially our friends on UNC Bhangra Elite, MBT, and Buckeye.

Buckeye, UNC, and CMU whaddup good luck to all the competing teams - sick line up!

 

[Howie Magz]

Great to be in the lineup again this year. Excited to see such a strong collegiate lineup especially with the collegiate powerhouse teams like UNC, UVA, CMU, and Cornell at this comp. MBT will be coming for that 2-peat first place tho so I hope that everyone really brings it. This lineup definitely reminds me of a lineup that one would see at blowout.

 

[mitrapatel09]

This was definitely one of my favorite comps last year. Excited to see how it improves this year and it already started with a sick lineup! It should be a good one this year! Best of luck to all of the teams!

 

[Bajwa99]

Sick lineup, some well established powerhouse teams going to this comp. Rejecting a team that placed the previous year is jaloose though lol. Anyways…. Go MBT!!!

It is unfortunate that you guys didn't make it into the lineup. But if something like this discourages you, then that's a problem. I remember the days when my teams would get rejected from literally every competition except for 1 per year. That made us work more than anything else. Rejection should fuel the fire.

For whatever reason NN committee didn't think you guys were the best fit for their lineup. You guys are/were missing something. Find out what that is and work on it. Fix it. And become a team that no one can turn away.

Congrats to all teams accepted. Looks like a great lineup, especially from the collegiate scene.

Good post that should be read over by newer teams as well. In the past, I've known about very well established teams getting rejected from comps & while it's extremely frustrating - remember that it's a two way road. The committee organizing the competition is looking for certain things that will suit their audience & help sell their tickets. This why often times you see regional comps accepting mainly teams from the general area when they are hosted over teams from across the country.

Rejection should definitely fuel the fire as my friend Sid stated. Also, you want to double check if the video & material you're submitting to committees truly shows off your best work. In my eyes, the competition really starts from the point of applying. Possibly ask for feedback later on from the committee on what your team can improve on with the material you've submitted... not every committee may be willing to help in this regard, but if they do, it can go a long way for your team.

Remember, it's just business; don't take things personally.

It's a shitty situation if you're a collegiate dancer because your dancing years are marked. You go into the next season looking to improve, however if the platform is pulled out from underneath you, it's hard for that internal fire to continue burning. In this case, there may have been many seniors on Vtech that wanted to go back to NN for a second crack at 1st place, which they have been poised to make since the end of last season, but now after a year of building that fire, it was all for nothing. It is disheartening because this was their last chance. (Only hypothetical)

Idk who's pulling what from under anyone. But its a competition. If VT was gunning for that 1st place at NN, why didn't they do enough to put themselves in a position to be undeniable? NN is going to do what they feel is best. Unless its in their rules that they bring back placing teams no matter what, then sure you can call them out. But if you as a team aren't doing all you can to be undeniable, then I really see no reason to complain. "Be so good they can't ignore you." - Steve Martin.

The hypothetical story you paint is disheartening, sure. Or it's motivating. I really hope VT takes this rejection as fuel to their fire to rip their next few audition tapes and get into whatever other comps they apply to. And I don't want them to stop there. I want them to then place/win at those comps and be able to flip the bird at NN when the seasons over. THAT would be a senior send off.

You can choose to be disheartened, or choose to be motivated.

PS: I don't mean to offend VT or NN or anyone. Just trying to keep it 100.

Goodluck Buck

Yo, all of this is really true. As a sophomore captain I'm still learning the ins and outs of the circuit so of course tough breaks like this are disheartening, but you're all right that the solution can't be sitting back and accepting the outcome. Hopefully this will help us get the team to a place where we can work our butts off for our next chance at comps like this. Thanks for the feedback guys

Also thank you Abhay, can't wait to see what you guys bring to NN, best of luck
