The Recap Sheet - Monday 11/19/12

Well we are finally here - we have results in the book and the first performances of the year have started the competition phase of the year off right.  Everyone is getting warmed up and those routines are getting pulled together for the big invitationals coming up in the month of December.  Today we have our first recap of what has happened so far and what we're looking forward to this next week in the world of dance team.  

NW Suburban Conference, Friday November 16th, Coon Rapids High School
The NWSC always comes out swinging in their first jazz meet of the year, the earliest in the state.  The conference splits into two competing "sides" who will be going against one another that night.  I got a chance to pop in this meet and it was an amazing feeling to see some real live action dance that wasn't on a video screen.  There is no way to beat that feeling.  Plus the NWSC has some great fans and parents.  Thanks guys for making room for me, double checking song artists, and chatting dance with me!  Here are the results:
Side 1:
1. Blaine
2. Anoka
also on this side: Centennial, Coon Rapids, Champlin Park
Side 2: 
1. Maple Grove
2. Andover
Also on this side: Osseo, Park Center, Elk River

Thoughts:  I missed the opening 2 dances, so I didn't see what Blaine was bringing to the mix in order to win their side.  Anoka was lovely and looked solid.  Coon Rapids finished off this side with a really unique idea with a mask and some dark undertones to the dance that I found refreshing and suited their ability level and talent base.  Over on side 2, Andover kicked it off with my first genuine goosebumps of the season.  Their steady and controlled skills really make their dance so powerful and effortless.  Very impressed with them.  Maple Grove looked stunning as usual - no one performs and emotes the way they do in person.  I have to remind myself that those girls are actually high school age.  They dance with such maturity.  I love their new costumes, the pictures don't do it justice.  Park Center brought out a big group this year, its nice to see the progress of that program.  

Burnsville Invitational, Saturday November 17th:
The invitational season kicked off at one of two sites this weekend with Burnsville hosting the larger gathering.  Here are the results:

AAA Varsity Jazz

1.  Eagan (3)

2.  Spring Lake Park (8)

3.  Forest Lake (10)

4.  Burnsville (12.5)

Thoughts:  While I wasn't there, I'm happy to see that some teams that don't always get a big share of 1st place trophies were taking home some gold this weekend. Farmington's program continues to build and took home a 1st in varsity kick, while Eagan beat their section rival Spring Lake Park in the opening meeting in AAA jazz.  Forest Lake continues to show improvement in their jazz category, coming in ahead of host Burnsville to take the 3rd place spot.  TG, Fridley, and Simley took the same order as they did last year at this meet in jazz, with TG fielding a large group that is a bit against the recent statewide trend of smaller jazz teams, that should be exciting once I get to see it.  There is a lot of potential for formations and group choices with a larger team that I will enjoy taking in.  

Shakopee Invitational, Saturday November 17th:

Shakopee hosted it's 1st invite (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) where we get to see some Lake Conference pre-season matchups that made me want to immediately clear my schedule for those upcoming battles in the conference.  Check out the results:

AAA Varsity Jazz:

1. Edina (4)

2. Hopkins (5)

3. Eden Prairie (9)

4. Shakopee (12)

AAA JV Jazz:

1.Eden Prairie (3)

2. Edina (6)

3. Hopkins (9)

4. Shakopee (12)

5. Osseo (15)

Thoughts:  Again, I wasn't at this meet, but I can't imagine what it must have taken to end up first in this matchup.  Edina pulls out a squeaker over Hopkins, and Eden Prairie, a state finalist last year, slides into the 3rd spot.  I wouldn't say this means anything certain for the future, as I would never write off Hopkins or EP, but I'm going to enjoy watching the intense fight to sections we have ahead of us for section 2AAA and the Lake Conference.  Gotta be feeling good about winning round one Edina - good for you. 

What a crazy first weekend!  Love to see some new faces on top, some brave groups tested the early waters out there and that is no small thing.  Congrats to all the teams who've had their first performances!

South Suburban Conference Jazz Meet - Eagan High School

State Wrap-Up & Final Results 2012

Well I hope you’re all recovering from this exciting state weekend – this one will be one for the record books!  The major headline must be that we now have 2 double blue winners in class A and AA, leaving us with only 4 teams as state champions this year.  Aitkin, Chaska, Wayzata, and Eastview all took home the championships, but there were many more highlights from the big dance.  Lets take a look at some of the best moments:

Friday, February 17^th - Jazz:

Class A: The big story here was if 5 time defending state champion Duluth Marshall would pull it off again, but the glory this time went to the Aitkin All-Starz.  The Aitkin girls really needed a solid performance in finals to get the win, and they managed to clean up their turns and pull it all off in the end.  Duluth brought in a great performance with such a young group as I’m hearing they’re fielding, while YME was a solid group for 3^rd with their touching dance to “Footsteps in the Sand” which was well executed but easier than the top 2.  Lac Qui Parle Valley was exciting to watch make their debut, which was good enough to land them in finals first time out of the gate.  Their jazz program has only been in existence for 2 years, so that’s not a small feat. 

Class AA: The big names were back in the finals this year with teams from Benilde, Totino, St. Cloud Cathedral and Sartell making appearances again.  Benilde looked the best of that pack with a small but refreshing change in style from the previous year that put them in 2^nd place.  Newcomer to AA Chaska made a splash by claiming the title with their routine “I am lost”.  They just don’t look like anyone else and seem to be setting the trends these days for music, style, and costume.  I imagine we’ll see them inspire more dances for next year.  The team from Marshall managed to make a first ever appearance in finals, a big step forward for that program.  Totino Grace rounded out the medalists claiming 3^rd.

Class AAA: Wayzata claimed the top spot back again from Maple Grove this year who settled for second.  Wayzata always manages to bring something to the state floor that I just don’t see them do all year long that really stepped up their game and sold their dance to the whole audience.  It really felt like the whole stadium was behind them this year.  It also seemed that the whole pack of finalists were really top notch this year and worthy of medals.  Squads from St. Cloud Tech, Eden Prairie, and Spring Lake Park were all in the hunt along with Maple Grove and Eastview who took 2^nd and 3^rd respectively.  

Saturday, February 18^th – Kick:

Class A: Aitkin claimed its second title of the weekend in kick, sending Cannon Falls into 2^nd and YME moved up from last year into 3^rd.  YME was much improved in their kick height and technique from the past and was looking more like they were when they won the A division in 2008.  Even so, Cannon Falls and Aitkin had stepped it up again with big teams bringing the visuals and kicks to a new level, keeping the fight for the top 2 between themselves for a 4^th consecutive year.  Lake City was another team to watch for as they moved from 6^th to 4^th in the final round, a team best for the Tigers.  

Class AA:  Chaska also repeated their previous night’s performance, claiming their first kick title since 1999.  Sartell was not going away quietly though and gave the biggest fight from a second place team of the entire tournament.  The Sabers do everything big and certainly showed that they are here to stay on the top of the AA pack.  St. Cloud Cathedral also brought a little something extra to the finals round; enough to push them solidly into the 3^rd place spot after all was said and done.  This division had the most depth this year, with many teams worthy of finals not getting into that top 6.  

Class AAA: This division was fought tooth and nail, requiring a tie breaker to get Eastview out on top.  Eden Prairie had to settle for 2^nd, while Brainerd made a splash with the most difficult kicks in the state taking them into the #3.  Apple Valley was surging at the end of the year, but there just wasn’t room for them on the podium and they took an honorable 4^th.  This class was full of memorable dances this year, with over the top themes and use of costumes to complete the look.  Eastview’s lightup skirts will likely be a topic of state conversations for years to come. 

Overall this year was exciting, memorable, and hard fought all the way to the end with the AA/AAA kick finals being an especially intense showcase of all that Minnesota dance team is about.  It was an honor to be a part of your state experience.  Congratulations to all the teams, I hope you met your goals and built memories to last a lifetime.  We’ll see you next season for more dance team action, excitement, drama, and passion!
