All-Star 2015-2016 Videos

This is all out of sincerity and genuine curiosity because I am still learning a lot about the industry!

But...is it just me - or does every year...music release for teams themselves seem to be getting later and later? I mean that 8 track is going here in almost December...even for some more "well-known" teams....yet....other teams have already had new/additional edits to theirs and what not. I guess I am genuinely confused by the whole process and only bring it up in this thread because of the multiple previous comments about how critical music is to a routine- no matter if the team's skills are insane or not.

I also feel like if I was an athlete/coach/gym owner of a team using that track still...I would be starting to get frustrated. Lol - but that's me I guess! Ultimately, does anyone know if there is a reason behind this other than the lawsuit stuff? Too much demand - not enough time for editors? Would you get a refund if it wasn't done by your first competition - haha?!

I also greatly appreciate the creativity and innovation that comes alongs with the use of props...and I am not saying people in the back of a section (particularly running tumbling) cannot dance or do their thang really well...but I continually find it difficult to focus on anything else when these things are present in a routine.

(Only using Stars because it's the most relevant/recent example in the thread) I mean that Gaga banner is massive and I found myself staring at it from the start until they revealed it, and then realized I was completely disregarding everything else. I am starting to find all that extra jazz completely unnecessary for all-star routines (of course .. naturally when they seem to be super prevalent lately haha!) - mostly because it seems like an over the top attempt to one-up each other and bring flash to a routine if that makes any sense. Just let the technique & skills do the talking! In my opinion, it just doesn't seem worth the risk to include these things for the most part! I would love to hear other opinions, too!

Lastly - haven't teams received suggestions to remove props after day one of competitions in the past? Is this a common complaint from judging panels? I would be curious to hear a judge's perspective on how they ensure they do not get distracted by a prop or a kitschy dance instead of the skills being thrown - and understand what they view as effective incorporation of these things into a routine.

i remember stars removed the red jacket from their routine at worlds cause judges said it was too distracting..... which makes me wonder why they would include another and even bigger prop to distract judges with.

SE got deductions in 2014 for their pyramid music being too slow, so I'm 99% sure they'll speed it up this year and add a back beat. They're not going to make the same mistake again.

Ok, I'm a die hard CEA fan but I do have one frustration with them this season. I know it's the beginning of the season, but LOT doesn't seem like a worlds team to me. The tumbling is definitely there, but the stunts, the technique of pulling body positions, double downs etc. isn't quite there yet..maybe the coaches see that & they're working on it.. Idk. Crush seems more like a senior team IMO. Also I'm hoping their mix that they're using isn't the finished product because it sounds like there's a chunk from SE's mix in 2012 that was just pasted into this one and the random sound effects that don't match up are bothering me. Lol

There's no deduction for slow music. Minimal decrease in overall impression score, sure, maybe. But nowhere on any deduction sheet is there a spot for "slow pyramid music".

My wording was perhaps a bit unclear, but I didn't mean a direct deduction. It would have been a lower impression score that they received, then they had to change the music for day 2.

THEY HAVE PANIC! AT THE DISCO IN THEIR MUSIC. :cloud9:

I'm 24 and I live for one handed cartwheels.

I liked SE's old pyramid just fine, but this new one is very visual.
I just wish SE would just UNLEASH in their dance and stop playing it safe/boring. The girls in the front in the beginning kind of do, but if the whole team would just go nuts that would be incredible.

I am 50 and can still do a 1-handed cartwheel. Totally unimpressed

I have been informed via Instagram that WC Super Sonics ("by definition is the speed of sound and a World Cup tradition") have a Legally Blonde theme and I need to see this video and hear the music. Has some one ("sum" one???) posted this yet?

Is it too late for Stars to scrap the Gaga theme and do Legally Blonde instead? I need to hear this mix
