I attended the Vibe (XIV) hiphop competition at the Bren Events Center hosted by Kallusive and Lambda Theta Delta. Highlights?
- An extremely goregous boy who was part of LTD staff. Too bad there was no time to slip my number. (kidding)
- A familiarization of dance crews who all did a spectacular job. My perspective of the most buzzworthy crews were: PAC modern (CSUF), CADC (first place), and Team Millenia.
- Popular faces that wandered around the event: Box Cutters ("cuh-tahz" is the correct pronounciation I was taught), Aubrey O' Day, Kaba Modern of ABDC, and many more
- Students of UC Irvine working together to broadcast such a lively event
- I am now officially a witness to the power of music and dance.
The event was a great success. It wasn't a standing room only attendance, but the crowd's spirit was definitely equivalent to it. It is amazing to know how young folks can join together and create such a successful show and have people willing to see or be a part of it. The people who participated span from all over California to compete. Humbling to know, there are people who spent valuable hours perfecting their piece to offer the judges at this competition. Everything was mostly organized, the only thing I can suggest is to have the public media in a seperate "VIP" like station so they aren't blocking other viewers who paid 23-30 dollars to watch the show.
