After weeks of painstakingly early practice, the day finally came. The entire day of the competition was spent alternating between intense practice and making our costumes. By the way, our costumes sick! They costumes consisted of tights (blue for guys, red for girls), white sneakers, Hawaiian lei wristbands, facepaint Superhero masks (red for guys, blue for girls), and flouro yellow tank tops with hoods sewn onto them by our awesome choreographer and dance team member, Dela. Oh yeah and for out bottoms, we wore granny panties because they came in cheap packs of 3 for $10 and they looked just smashing!
When we arrived to the venue, we had time for one stage rehearsal and a casual team beer. The butterflies definitely kicked in when they called St. Mary's "on deck" and we anxiously waited backstage to go on. By the way, our glamourous performer's dressing room backsatge was an old converted bathroom backstage. Anyways when the team before us wrapped up, there was no more time for butterflies or anxiety. We took the stage proudly and were amped to showcase our fancy footwork and hard-hitting rhythm. The feeling of being on stage was completely surreal and amazing. The best part was that we did not really change much of the dance from what we learned during O-week. Because of this, the rest of Mary's was able to mirror our dance moves in the audience, which was way awesome! We felt like superstars jamming on stage! Haha
Anyways, the video pretty much sums up our phenomenal performance that won us the title of FRESHER DANCE CHAMPS 2010!! Check it out!
Also, here is a fan video that was sent to me by none other than the infamous Pete Galante. Enjoy!
keep up the good work, Ciro and tell your pops hi for me!
