I hate this topic. It makes me sad to even look at it. I think what people don't realize is that POWER is a frrrrreaaaaaking powerhouse! They have been around for how long? I mean, they are obviously amazing. Look at their jackets, trophies, titles, and banners to prove it. They are alwasy going to dominate senior level 5 in California, and are always going to be the team to beat.
Fierce senior5 is really great this year! By far the best season of talent we've had. But it's only the begginning of our third season. We're not expecting to go out there and beat POWER, we just want to be the best that we can be and work our way up to their level. We're trying to get the most talent out of this team as possible this season and we're going push the envelope in stunting too.
I'll always be proud of our senior 5 team since it's what we started out with when Fierce was created in a park... :) But we'll be chasing after POWER!!! They are the l5 team to beat.
I like how every is saying POWER routines stay the same, and I agree 100%. But if your routines are WINNING competitions and getting top 5 at WORLDS, then why change that?!?! As for Fierce, they have a HUGE amount of talent, but when I saw them at The Ultimate State, their routine was a MESS....it looked like so much craziness was going on, that you couldnt tell what was happening. I saw POWER's debut at AB, and yes, they also had mistakes...but it wasnt a mess....they knew their timing, everyone had their skills they needed to compete, and I actually noticed a change in the choreography. But thats another topic, that I think is definately going to make POWER a force to reckon with. My all time Large teams will definately be World Cup, CA Panthers, Maryland Twisters, and POWER...NOW the Small Sr 5 is going to be hard...there are a lot, but who knows who will have the skills this year!

just a real quick comment about why change it if your always winning with it?.....because it gets old and boring. Why not try new things and put something new in? Cheer has changed in style over the years why not keep up with the times too? That's what would be a good challenge for them?
everyone has a style that works for them. to say that power is boring is very short sighted. they are not. they put together a routine that is clean and performable. people like it or they do not. ( I think it is safe to say that the judeges like it) I think it will take them having a really bad year for them to look at changing stuff. Hey it could be this year, but judging from AB, i do not think so. to say that they have not kept up with the times is way off base. You cannot tell me that a team that has two teams place top 5 at worlds is not up with the times. Hey this must be powers week to get bashed on these boards. keep your chins up and your guard up.

yes we all know that fierce has cleaning up to do....but who doesnt. every team can always be cleaner and tighter or whatever the story might be...no i am not apart of fierce in fact i dont even live remotely close to them, i am actually apart of another cheer family... n e ways saw the scores from San Jose and there was not one score under 95%, and none of the judges said they were messy, not 1
Talk about repeating routines; what about fierce repeating that same old tired ballerina scorpian stunt sequence that they have used year after year-??? I haven't heard anyone bring up that in this topic!!! And also the stolen chin-chin's that they stole from POWER!!! I think if you're asking POWER to change it up (which I don't believe is necessary >>>> they are the most innovative team in Nor-Cal) then you should be telling Fierce to change it up too!!! Not to mention Fierce's music isn't top on my list.

I didn't name Power in my quote at all now did I? You are assuming that I am talking about Power. I am talking about any team in general. Why not change things? Why not try new things? That's all I was saying. And that was for any gym to answer if they want. try not to get too offended next time "it's like a style". Like ok?

L5 no longer does the ballerina stunt. and how could they have repeated it year after year? this is only their third season and they dont do it!

actually their level five team doesnt use the same stunt sequence anymore, their level 4 team uses it. and nobody brought it up because thats not what this topic is suppose to be about now is it. and stolen chin strecthes..aww come on, in the cheer industry we all use the same stunts wether its a scorpian, scale, or chin stretch..thats just how it goes. and there music isnt for you to put i the top of your list, if you like it then you do, and if you dont then you dont..get over it

no need to be rude.
I really liked it. Just make sure I have the right one, you are talking about the one that went from a scorpion down, back up to a chin chin right? If so, I liked it.
why does someone always have to be rude for now reason..and on a message board...lol...come on now lets just stick to the topics and if you dont agree with someone... then you dont move on, no need to be rude
It's funny how people turn a positive board into a negative one, when a couple teams get too much attention. Well, I just want everyone to know that all Haters are welcome. Please keep hating and we hope to double the amount of haters we have by then end of the season. You see, you only get attention when you deserve it. When people can't be like you, they can only hate you. So take it as a compliment. We are going to keep doing what we do and see how many haters we can make along the way!
Good luck to Fierce and Power and congratulations on all of the attention. You must be doing something right!

Sounds like a comment that I read somewhere on here about Cali Allstars. Where were all you good people then? What I find funny is if it is a team from Nor Cal being talked about, then you all jump to their defense. It's almost like a cult in Nor Cal and I find that odd.
Really?!?! nor cal teams dont compare...hmm? I would love to see the statisitcs of how many nor cal teams have actually competed against so cal teams and BEAT THEM! you would be suprised! I know of only 3 gyms that have ever held their own over nor cal (per say)...California, Outlaws and West Coast Mavericks. Its only recently that Cheer Force has been an up and coming...I remember a few years ago they could barely hit their libs. But now...i have to say, they have become a well respected gym for their talented kids/coaches and innovative choreography. Name any other gyms down in so cal, and i will definately let you know what nor cal team ,we will say "stood their ground" since "beat" is a little harsh, and at what competition it was at. Cheers....
