I got to see Bethel for the first time this season today at Vallejo HS.............and they BLEW ME AWAY. What a great show. The showmanship/GE is off the charts and they were pretty dang clean for this point in the season. And they are building quite a big fan base...that (albeit tiny) gym was packed to the rafters and you could FEEL the anticipation during set-up. Once they were done...mobs of people left. I'm not going to go as far as saying this is their championship to lose, but I will say that its going to take an AMAZING show by someone else to beat them.

By the way, when I saw the hats and the "kid theme" I thought it was just going to be an RCC rip-off but no...they are doing their own thing and it flows from start to finish.

wow. :shock:

Cali.

I'm pretty sure they are the only Open line at CCGC champs.
:shock:
Where's Homestead and Benicia? Is there another show that day?

Can I say that it is really exciting to see a larger than normal open class in NCBA. Keep up all the good work all of you guys.
