The 2010 WGI Independent A Champions

Independent A Finals

by Jolie Henricks

57 units began 3 rounds of competition at 4 different venues. Friday night, it came down to the final 15 at the University of Dayton Arena. Here are the results:

1st Place – 95.4 - Pacificaires (Surrey, BC, Canada)
Oh, Canada, thank you for sending these earthy women from the north. The spectators in the Arena found themselves “Falling Slowly” in love with them. Poised and confident, controlled and strong, they filled the vast space with strength and loveliness, repeating a movement montage of slowly lowering each other to the earth. Graceful movers, solid spinners, strong moments by soloists, strong moments by the ensemble, and a finale flag feature that moved and reshaped and then dissolved into duets of support and grace…the quiet strength and show design sophistication are what put these young women on top tonight. Congratulations on winning the gold medal!
