SoulTime Talent Show and the 2nd Round Mess Up

Stylez Dance Group made it to the 2nd round at the SoulTime Dance Competition last night. Unfortunately, we were unable to finish all 3 rounds and place, but we did our best and our dances looked great.

However, I feel that our entry into the 3rd round (or lack there of) was affected by a mess up on behalf of the SoulTime Committee. After Round 1, the committee announced everyone who made it. We were one of those groups, but we were on the balcony of the theatre watching. Well, actually, all the participants in the show were watching from the balcony. That was where we were permitted to sit. When we got down to the changing room, a committee member rushed out and said "Stylez Dance Group, where have you been?! You're up first! You're up right now, they've already called your name!"

We rushed onto the stage, flustered. The theatre was less than half full. Audience members thought that there was an intermission.

We waited for the host to announce our name again. But he didn't. The DJ started our music, and we started our dance routine. But no one was watching. People didn't even know we were dancing. The JUDGES of the talent show even looked confused. I have a feeling that the lack of audience participation during our 2nd round effected our score. But I feel like that is due to a lack of audience members in their seats. *sigh* We were all extremely upset after our dance. We worked so had for the past 2.5 weeks to put together new dances for Round 2 and not many people were able to see it.

We thought it was strange that no one reannounced us. But we started dancing when the DJ put on our music. I guess we should have told him to stop and wait for an announcement. But the committee member that rushed us downstairs told us to get on stage.

Anyway, here are the videos of our performances. Enjoy.
