Even though it wasn't live, this was my first time seeing Ankeny since 2014, the first year after the split, and I just have to say, you guys have improved SO MUCH since then! Kudos to the program and to putting on a great performance today!
I just love Findlay so much. Excellent job, FFE! I caught part of Danville and they looked great as well. I'll have to rewind to some of the other performances, but I appreciate the commentary on different shows.
(via live stream) I realize that you miss some of the detail via the stream, but the FFE girls gloves going from white, to red, to not there...very nice!
(via live stream) Olentangy's use of the Ghost Buster stuff was fabulous, especially the first transition with the refrigerator, and the featured combo players were great!
Agreed! My first time seeing Olentangy and I was thoroughly entertained!
Why is there a dinner break before awards?
This was the response FAME had last year in regard to this question:
Just a point of clarification: Every participating group has a buffet dinner included as part of the competition package. There are not many places to eat in the area so for the last 6 years or so we've hired a caterer to come in a serve a buffet to those groups. If anyone else wants to purchase the buffet they can.
In addition, this is a union house and they do require a dark stage for an hour before continuing with the competition. I hope that helps some.
So it sounds like part of it is the venue and the other part is revenue. And as cool as that looks, it unfortunately doesn't rhyme.
