Greetings all,
This also was my first time going to KAOS, but from past experiences I come not to expect alot from stepshows. The venue for the event was the the glorious and magnificient De La Salle lnstitute (High School)...did I mention this is my alma mater
. So while most people wasted 20 big ones.I knew better and used my alumni hookup to slide through the backdoor.
Now to the show....
For the Frats:
The Alphas from U of I stepped first and this being a A-PHI-A show I knew they would be deep, but I also thought they would have a good team. On the latter I was sadly mistaken! They where so uncoordinated it was ridiculous! I dont know what was going on..but to be brutally honest they where terrible. How do you mess up the Alpha Train? Isn't that like the first step they teach you?
The Sigma team stepped next they where decent..I'm not sure where they were from. They started out their show with doing the dance moves from Usher's "You dont have to call" video, including acting like they where driving and then doing that little bounce thing. That was cool but when it came to stepping they where just okay. Half through their show they stripped down to blue "wife-beaters" but they had some big boys one who should been revealing all that stomach and the other I guess they just couldn't a shirt in his size so he rocked a PBS t-shirt. I'm a stickler for uniformity in shows so if they didn't all look the same they should chose something else. Other than that their show to me was alright, except for the fact that the white gloves they put on took away from the sound of the hand claps which could have made the sound level a lil better.
Finally the Omegas from U of Michigan stepped..and as unusual as it is to see Ques step when I'm up north..its even more unusal to see a Que team that is tight. I must admit the Omegas did a good job they were in sync and enthusiatic. That lil roll/flip chain thing was tight as all get out and I had to give props for that..they over did a lil bit but nonethe less it was tight. A well deserved win for them. Although I thought all would break loose when they played atomic dog on stage..but it sure did at the end of the show.
