Eastview's classic version of "Hotel California" at State 2005. They tied for 3rd place that year (when you could still do that!) and left us with a memorable dance. I can't recall if the competition was tough that year or if this dance was a little underrated, but I think this one was a little overlooked. This was the first time I had seen a version of this song for MN dance teams, and I liked their attempts to play with different versions. Now this song is often repeated. The skirts on those costumes were also a fun touch not often used, but I wonder if they were tough to work with, there are moments where they look like they could have gotten in the way.
While this dance now seems a little long and the level of "clean" isn't remotely up to today's standards - the creativity of visuals still stands out. With 17 in formation, they used a nice transitional pattern throughout that compliments the opening music especially. This is just an enjoyable dance more than anything else, a classic for its re-watch-ability!
