So glad the Live Feed was linked! This is the 2nd ever "BrradReview" and I hope to entertain someones night. I'm going to start with Finals, going each group at a time. Then I'll finish off with some other thoughts that I think are worth mentioning. I apologize in advance for the typos as I am watching groups at the same time.
Albertville "Centerstage!" - Magnificent to say the least. At the beginning I was questioning whether or not this group would be good, considering I have never seen you guys before and this is my 2nd year of show choir myself. anyways, the farther I you guys went, the more excited I was watching, the energy was there, the choreography was decent and clean as well. The vocals were exceptional, especially during the ballad. My favorite thing about this show is that I did not hear the theme of the show. I had no idea what the theme was before the show started. YOU HAVE A CLEAR THEME. That makes me happy. Also what you did with the "plane" image moving the choir and flipping the lady in the front was very cool to see.
Pearl River Central "Illumination" - First off, congrats to you ladies for making it to finals! (Opinion) Everything I say about this group is already biased considering I think comparing women's groups to mixed is like comparing "Apples to Giraffes" , yet I am happy I got the opportunity to witness this show. enjoyed song selection and the vocals/choreography were very decent good job!
Northeast Jones "Gold Horizons" - I literally had to stop writhing the review for the women's group because I wanted to give full attention to this group. I'm going to talk about the choreo first. Great, but not only was it clean, it also had a lot of energy behind. I could feel you guys were dancing for Grand Champion through my flatscreen at 360p with YouTube slightly glitching. Very impressive, especially in your division. I also liked the costumes, those long black jackets look very cool! The vocals were good as well, choir wise, the consonant energy was there I could here what you were singing the entire time. I could tell you guys were really feeling this show, and every one seemed to be giving it their absolute beset. I specifically enjoyed the two individuals who sang in your ballad, they were absolutely magnificent. As the Sun sets of the "horizon" (see what I did there?) I hope the best for this group in the near future!
Pisgah Highschool "Innergy" - Happy that you guys made finals! Impressive! Also congrats on winning in your division! You guys are having a great season and I hope you maintain that wonderful "Innergy" (I need to stop) I believe that you guys fared well in finals with the other groups despite numbers, you still danced and sang your hearts out. The girls number was pretty great to! nice song selections. Note worthy costumes and set as well. My favorite thing about this show was the ballad, and I could feel the energy towards the closer. Great job!
Pearl River Central "Central Attractions" - Nice group! (Who is "Jake from State Farm?????") Once again, I hadn't seen this group before so I was expecting what I got. The opener was really good, and I enjoyed the style. It reminded me of pentatonix. The choreography was great was great, but the vocals is what carries this group. It's hard sound good through my tv, but you made it seem easy. Nice vocal dynamics. fantastic female solo at the beginning of your ballad. great song selections over all, and good costumes. The fellas costumes had me wanting to go out and buy a new suit. I only hope that you maintain your "central attraction" as you continue through your season (I'm going to bed soon I promise).
This next segment will be interesting
