Yes. We have been sponsored by the Army for the last year. We do all the Stomping on the Yard shows as exhibition, not in the comp.

Soulman,
So is this the unknown Sigma team that was sponsored by the Army or does the Army have its own step team?

This is the "UnKNOWn" Stepteam, and yes, we are sponsored by the Army. None of us are in the army but they sonsor us/the stomping on the yard tour.

Wow, Can anyone guess how hard the army is trying for recruits these days?

I hate to say it but it crossed my mind when I saw their huge logo and creed on the backdrop of the competition.....damn, war is hell and recruitment for this stupid war is even worse...but at least, we got a super stepping special on espn to enjoy...so why bite the hand that fed us such entertainment....those folks worked their butts off long hours and long days....did also think each team deserved a smaller trophy for their houses for their performances in the competition regardless of their not winning!! and maybe a smaller check...say $1000 after all, we know the Pentagon is good for it!! the public relations for these would even be better and spread further....maybe I should send them my resume for a consultant for the next competition....lol BUT CONGRATS TO ALL THE HOUSES WHOSE MEMBERS WERE SO DYNAMITE AND GREAT PERFORMERS!!

I believe the Army sponsors the UnKNOWn Sigmas step team, not the show. But I could be wrong.

I thought that the army cut the check for the winners. I'm not sure though, but I do remember them having huge posters/banners behind the stage. This led me to think that they had a large hand in the event, but that could be deceptive.

The army sponsors both, us and the shows. There are other sponsors for the "stomping on the yard" tour, but the Army is the major one.

Ah! It all makes sense now. When I was watching, I was thinking "I've seen these steps before..." I've seen the "UnKNOWn" perform so many times that I always know it's "them" before the masks are removed and EVERY Sigma step show I see has "borrowed" moves too.

That's funny.

We sure don't mind when other Sigma teams use our stuff, as long as they rock it! They did rock it!
It's so hard for us to not throw up the hand sign or blue phi or anything while on stage representing the Army! I'm at least glad our bros were able to represent the frat so well.

The Steps that the Dem Boyz step team did.....I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, . i actually heard about this team for some time. They make all their steps from scratch, thats what seperates them. I agree with you, Steps are always borrowed with all organizations, but this team is taking this stepping thing to a whole new level....
