CONGRATULATIONS to New Dimensions !
Thanks to all other participants.
DOES ANYONE HAVE VIDEO..? please post it.
To all the bands that had difficulty...my condolences. I can appreciate
how badly you feel. Just try not to let it get you down...keep up your spirits...
and prepare for ALL possible, unforseen obstacles...so that at next year's competition,
you will not be disappointed.
To Junior I do understand where you are coming from and I see you are pleading for another band and not yours. From the numerous of calls that was made to the radio station this morning and people saying that what happened was indeed wrong to you all. The event stated that it started at 5 pm and from the people that called in indeed said that you all where there a little after 3 which will still grant you all being at the event on time, A truck having problems shouldn't be a reason to disqualify a band. What you all can do if you all will like to take it that far is go over the rules and guidelines that where given.
its been the same way for the past few years only diff is third place which my band had for two years and this year we where disqualified. only thing I have a problem with is that the event started 5pm and last time I check my watch an hour before would be 4pm. No one can foresee a truck breaking down and if you want to disqualify a band for that something is wrong with where these people stand do we all want to win so bad that we are willing to disqualify a band for something they could not have seen coming. My band is Pan-Ossia so you know.
not surprising.
