Thank you Saab for getting a thread up with this information! As easy as it is using the shoutbox, I always encourage people to post up a topic since as we all know, the shoutbox posts disappear and we always have topics to search in case anyone down the road wants to look up placings/videos/etc. Btw, I added in the placings to your OP and changed up the title just a bit for future searching purposes.

JayBainss, thanks for posting up your full performance video links. Your team did a great job. Really enjoyed your ending mela with the saaps, daangs, pankhis (fans), etc. Your mix was very well done and the choreography matched it well. The pauses in your mix created some big hype moments.

Who did your mix? Do you think can you could upload it/share it with us? Congrats on placing.


Btw, for those that don't realize just how big this show was.. check out these photos:

I haven't seen any competition this grand in NA besides maybe Elite 8 and Boston.

TBS Committee did an AMAZING job with this competition. That Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham is absolutely amazing! One of the best venues that I've seen. The amount of preparation and planning that went into this year's show was unreal.

Shoutout to the #KudosAV team who did so much behind the scene to make the show so grand!

Hope it was an amazing time for all performers,

That's not even fair. Elite 8 and Boston are never as packed as that, it must be incredible performing for an audience like that.

All videos have been released. Apart from Leicester/DMu

minus the screen in the background the stage width + lights does somewhat remind me of blowout during the good ole days at DAR!

Maybe its different in person but I felt the backdrop was super distracting while trying to focus on the bhangra and the moves. Did anybody else feel this way?

I was there in the audience. Personally im not a fan of huge strobe lights and backdrops. minimal is fine but too much makes it hard to distinguish dancers. ( i really liked the 2014 TBS vids )


But hey thats the Kudos way and the organisers have been doing this for the last couple of years. It does provide the entertainment factor to pull in the crowds so fair play to them.

I was there as well and I feel like it's for sure different in-person than in the videos. The dancers were pretty clear except for a couple of teams in which the backdrop happened to be almost the same color as the vardiyan, and the background definitely provides a hype factor for the crowd. The comp as a whole was extremely well done and I've never been to a competition with the raw atmosphere and sheer energy of TBS before. Not only was the Barclaycard Arena mind-blowing, but the TBS committee set up the show such that there was never a dull moment. Beyond the teams they had a ton of performances and a concert with Desi Crew, Ammy Virk, Resham Anmol, Dilpreet Dhillon, and Mankirt Aulakh while the judges were deliberating--definitely one of the hypest comps I've been to, shoutout to the TBS committee and Kudos AV for an amazing night!

 

[Guppi]

I watched all the videos that were up and first off i would like to congratulate all the teams for putting on such a great performance in what looks like such an amazing venue!!! Secondly, a big congratulations for the placing teams!


Just for future competitions I would suggest Imperial College to work on giving each dancer a good amount of front time, Throughout the whole routine I only saw the red jodi in the front. It kind of made me a little upset because in that aspect it takes away from the other dancers because all eyes tend to go to them. I think all the dancers on that team are so good so for the future I would suggest finding each dancers strong suit on when they should be in the front so the front time is distributed evenly! Other than that, congratulations!!! =]

Aston was probably my favorite performance and the mix was bonkers. I've been stalking Prem's soundcloud....hope he puts it up soon

Prem is the best if not one of the best UK mixers at the moment
