2017 Nashville Nights Invite Coverage Page

0

This past weekend many Region 5 teams traveled to Nashville, Tennessee for the Nashville Nights Invitational hosted by Intrigue Athletics. The Invitational was hosted at the enormous downtown Music City Convention Center, which happens to be shaped like a guitar. There were 3 Level 10 sessions throughout the weekend, Region 5 Insider filmed the last session of Level 10 hosted in the yellow & white gyms. The atmosphere of this meet  was quite different than what we normally experience here in Region 5. One of the main differences was presenting to the judges, it appeared that only the teams from Region 5 presented to the judges prior to the event. However, it was exciting to see some different teams, routines and of course leotards!!

Region 5 Insider only videoed the teams competing from Region 5. Those teams were: Perfection (OH), DeVeau’s School of Gymnastics (IN), Queen City (OH), Perfect Balance (OH),  Branch Gymnastics (MI), Oakland Gymnastics (MI), and I-Power (IL) . My main focus was to showcase teams that we have not really seen this season.
