This is a competition where the best of the best from all over the United States come to compete. As a parent you make many friends and sometimes just as many enemies... Front row seats are a premium and to secure a seat you either have to arrive early in the morning or slowly move up as people leave and to do this you need to make friends fast!!! The best we got was 2nd row center stage, however, I made friends with the ladies just in front of us and when it was our teams turn they were willing to swap seats so my husband and I could see it all. On the second day they made it to the front again and again they swapped with us when it was our turn to perform - Love me some ACX Cheer Parents :)
We learned a completely new routine in less than 3 weeks since the last time we competed... this is a fantastic routine and I'm not just saying that since William takes center stage for about 30% of it... The entire team executed almost flawlessly over the two days we had less than 1 point in deductions. Varsity.com shows about 2 minutes of each teams 2 1/2 minute performance - you can view by clicking this link http://videos.varsity.com//competitions/NCANDA/2012%20nca%20nda%20allstar.aspx#ooid=lvbWlsMzoN4DeMtukC5NbS2T6rfEn1AY
We did find some time to have fun, just outside the convention center is an art installation of a stampede of longhorns - at any given time you would see at least 50 cheerleaders climbing up for photo ops... not to be left out William did too.
This time no pictures during the event and I didn't video either - I wanted to take it all in and I bought a copy of the professional video which I should receive in 4-6 weeks!!! But as they gathered on stage for awards I did pop out my cell phone and captured William and his team on stage.
