Triad never fails to amaze me!!!! Beautiful technique, clean formations, turns were on point-can’t come up with a single flaw 😍

Carterville’s artistically sound routine was beautiful! I loved how many different elements this routine had at any given point. Such a graceful routine, && I love the costumes!

1A awards 1st-Highland 2nd-Pickneyville 3rd-Murphysboro 4th-Triad 5th-Centralia 6th-Decoy Congrats to all the teams going to state!!!!

Notre Dame starting off the second half super strong! A quick paced, high energy Pom routine. Excellent job!

Still love Civic Memorials concept for this dance! So happy they brought this routine. I love to see all of their progress they’ve made this season. Beautiful job!!

Another team that has made so much improvement-Unity!!! I have loved this routine from the beginning of the season, but WOW have they improved! A high level of difficulty, clean, intricate-what’s not to love 😍

I am so glad I finally got to see St. Anthony’s team perform! Such an elegant routine. I’ve never seen a routine from this school I didn’t like!

8 Count Audio-Malea They are consistently amazing for sure!!

Mattoon’s choreography has been one of my favourites of the day. It was so unique and artistic, not to mention beautifully executed!

8 Count Audio-Malea you are getting to listen to some prettt awesome throw back music between performances!!!

Macomb- the simplicity of this routine, yet still so difficult, clean, and elegant, I love it even more than the last time I watched it!

Another team I’m so thankful I got to watch grow this season-Clinton! A graceful and technically sound routine. I love the emotion behind this routine! This team isn’t filled with just dancers, but performers. And THAT’S what makes a team stand out.

Get turnt with that amazing Grant routine! Got their synchro in full effect and excelling at the big and bold visuals. These dancers make insanely athletic moves look second nature. Maybe the best low level changes I’ve seen all szn in a hh dance!

8 Count Audio-Malea Nah it’s just auto correct thinking it’s the boss haha

Dynamic formations/staging by Crystal Lake South! Appreciating their use of the floor esp front-back depth. Can’t go wrong with that pair of left turners. Commendable confidence and attitude!

Right off the bat, Saint Joe brought the heat! Their whole routine was perfectly in sync-so crucial to a solid hip hop routine! So well crafted, amazing job!
