Sincere here, straight out of YMOV a crazy dope team with precision! The Family Of Vision (FOV) just got off with a bang in the 2016 step season. I’m very happy to tell you that we have won our first show. This year, we have had two performances and one competition. We have so many new teammates this year, I am excited to see how we perform on stage. Practice has been very intense. We’ve been taking every opportunity to tune our show, even on weekends. We have been working hard to get ready for national competitions.
Our first performance was at the Sigma Gamma Rho Inc Central Regional Conference. This was the first time that most of the team performed on stage together, so I was nervous that we would not perform as well as we wanted. We did better than I thought we would! All the Sigma Gamma Rho’s yelled and screamed. This year, the UMSL step show hosted by the Associated Black Collegians, turned out to be a showcase for all the step teams in St. Louis. We went and went hard. To tell the truth, we almost broke the stage. The Infinity Step Team hosted the first competition of the season, which showcased teams from MO and IL The Family of Vision was out in full force and I was anxious to see how we would respond to the pressure. Lots of other teams stepped also, including Girl's Inc, Platinum-Elite, The Kappa League (IL), and Parkway South. Of course the FOV was planning for a sweep. We huddled up as we wait for the announcement of the winners. “And in first place........... YMOV!!”We cheered. And cheered some more when they called Gov for the high School division.
One of my hopes for this step season is that every show is a ‘W’. For me one of my goals is to get better at doing the movements on time. A team goal is to work on our precision on stage. The judges get us on our precision every time. Last year when we were in Pennsylvania, we got second because of precision. Another goal is keeping our energy up. We want to look like we came in when we come out. Powerful stomps, sharp blades, precise movements. All of that is our focus.
