My view from the bleachers of my couch of WGI Finals.

Yesterday I watched WGI live stream from Dayton Ohio. My brief review yesterday may have caused some confusion. I would like to bring the focus back from the many less than exciting shows to the performers themselves. OMG I am in awe of the kids in the guards. The skills, the passion and love of the activity that I witnessed in those performances is beyond my ability to comprehend. Precision and mastery of all the skills that were required of them.
     Now to the matter of the shows. I watched from 8:30 in the morning until it was over. The skills of the performers was so evident. I wonder where have all the really exciting shows gone? Now that the copyright issues seem to have been settled can we go back to some real edge of the seat shows? Please? Dont get me wrong I do appreciate beautiful and poignant shows. However it seems that there are so many dark and depressing shows that sometimes I believe the audience goes home sad and depressed.
       All I ask is that next season use the wonderful talent that you have been given to excite us with your concepts. I know that these kids that you have in your groups have the talents and skills to make you proud and to bring us all to the edge of our seats and then we can all go home happy and in love with our activity.
