This event was the first where we noticed the new live scoring.  What we noticed especially was the seemingly more subdued celebration shots.  We could not help to thing that maybe the idea of knowing the results ahead of time took away from the thrill of victory that was so evident in the raw emotion displayed when the winners were announced.

The other special thing about the Chaska Dance Team Invitational is that it marks the 25th anniversary of the Chaska Dance Team.
