I attended KAOS and was a judge to be exact. What you guys may have heard in your seats was different from what we heard at the table. Because of the accustics in the gym (WHICH WERE HORRIBLE) There were things the audience missed in each of the shows. Here were my observations as a judge:
Alpha's: The concept was VERY GOOD. What many of you may not have heard was that the theme of thier show was "Balance". After every step they talked about how an Alpha man can get in balance. Not to mention people who are not faithful Playstation and Tekken players may not have appreciated the whole rocking in a circle thing. OVERALL I thought thier step were really good. However, there were moments in the show where all the team memebers were not on point. BUT in all I thought thieir show was pretty good and they had a THEME and stuck with it.
Sigmas: I thought the Sigma show could have been better. There were too many of them who were not precise. And THAT is what i look for in a show. There were a lot of them that were "fudging" the steps. Perhaps it was fatigue. I DONOT care to have a "Strip" moment in ANYSHOW (no matter what Fraternity) I felt like they took 2 minutes to take off shirts that could have been used to win the show with steps. And the comment about the outfits was right. If everyone cant wear wife beaters then noone should have.
Omegas: Thier show was great. They had uniformity and precision. They had the enthusiasm. they had the better show hands down.
OK NOW THE SORORITIES...(I am going to try to be as impartial as possible)
AKA's: When the AKA's came out with the corny Lil Bow Wow song i was like........ok that was boring. I think your opeing to any show should grab the audience from the beginning and it just didn't stick well with me. The other thing that kinda turned me off was the fact that thet had "1half", then "2nd half" and then a HALTIME and then a TIMEOUT
"WHAT THA FA??????" But ok i got past that. OVERALL thier precision was ON! They got my vote in that category. However thier enthusiasm was lacking. They bored me to death.
DST: Ok these are my sorors and I am not afraid at all to be honest. I thought my sorors energy level was great. I felt like their energy level was up to par and they had pretty good steps. However from a judging point of view, some of the steppers didn't know how to cover mistakes and so it made the little mistakes a little more obvious. Aside from the fact that thier music was messed up in the DJ booth thier show could have won withthe addition of perhaps one more step to add length to thier show.
KAOS: Overall the accustics were horrible along with the DJ. Thier were too many lines of Greek strolling and it was too damn dark! Perhaps it is just my age showing........
