Lemme tell you a recent stepshow experience of mine. We were at Tuskegee University for the Battle of the Burning Sands Stepshow. The first 4 acts were good. We were excited because of the level of competition and the high energy of the show. The host was so not funny, but the H.S. groups and the musical performance saved him. Then right before we are supposed to go onstage they decide to have a stroll off.
IF you've ever been to a show at Skegee, you know they are in the gym, so we usually step on a tarp that covers the floor. You catcha wrinkle in the middle of a step you're DONE!
So the stroll off ends and my brethren smooth out the tarp for us, then they have a "Walk It Out" competition...which screws up the tarp AGAIN. I'm already pissed off because we've waited for 30 minutes since the last act. Then the comedian decides to be a praise dancer! What the hell!?!?!?!? Total wait since the last act: 45 minutes.
Finally we get out there and we are doing our precision thing. In the middle of one of our steps I look up and one of the judges is on his phone. I literally stopped stepping and my mouth fell open! I was pissed! I played it off by doing something that fit in with the step. What made it worse was that we have a part where I jump on someone's shoulder's. While I'm up in the air I hear, "Damn! How them niggas get on they shoulders?!?!?! Hey man, I'm gonna have to call you back."
Then the last part of the show comes and the DJ accidentally ejects our cd and we're laying down on the ground waiting for the music to start for another 2 minutes....needless to say I was pissed. We still won, but I was PISSED!
