Bought my two older DD's tickets as a prize for settling into school so well this year! They are about 9th row so will find out how well they can see. One of dd's teammates did Gold squad. Said she got to meet with many of the athletes face to face and have pictures with them before the show when learning the dance.
We talked to someone who did the chalk talk--they said it was a lot of waiting in line to hear a few of the athletes answer generic questions. Her daughter might have been a little old for it, but it sounded like close seats were probably a better investment than the chalk talk.
We went to the Chalk Talk - it was included with our tickets. We waited in line about 45 minutes. The talk was about 25 minutes so was a little underwhelming. I would have been frustrated if I had paid for it separately.
I really wanted to go and take my daughter - but the DC show is Halloween night. Not sure who thought that made a lot of sense. I suspect that turn out will be lower than most other shows given the target audience probably likes to trick-or-treat! :-(
That actually sounds great to me! Easier parking and a chance to move to better seats.
I thought the show was really good. Had a good message and had some good gymnastics.

Went last night. It was really fun! Great music and choreography, fun gymnastics skills on display, lots of happy kiddos in attendance. As JBS said, the overall message/theme of the event was positive and inspiring. I appreciated that. My DD, who is normally cool as a cucumber, was just giddy! Totally worth it.

Adding: I was super pumped to see Shilese Jones, Katelyn Ohashi, and Nia Dennis. Shilese's bars handstand is truly an amazing feat, LOL. Morgan Hurd looked like she was having a blast out there! Grace and Jade were pleasant to watch, but seemed to have a little less energy (and were not natural dancers) compared to some of the other gymnasts. And it was really cool to see Chellsie perform in her "features".
We got tickets for Saturday. If my kid could see Katelyn her head will explode
I took my daughters on Sunday. Afterwards I asked them to rate the show from 1 to 10. One daughter gave it an 11. The other daughter gave it a 100.
Yes... yes... that was by far my favorite part!
Well we saw
Yes OMG to Shileses HS.
Kid was thrilled to see Katelyn and Nia. Disappointed not to see Laurie….
Me completely inspired by Chellsies back, going back to the gym this week.
Nice messaging. Kids had a blast all good.,
I took my daughter this past week. Such a fun and positive show. Shilese just floats in her floor passes. The music was great. The volume of the moms screaming for Chellsie was louder than than the kids screaming for Simone. So impressive to see her in person. The Wonder Woman segment on bars was fantastic. And who didn’t shed a few tears during Katelyn’s letter? Such a fantastic experience!

OMG yes, her segment was so touching. I was definitely misty eyed. I really hope she stays involved with gymnastics in some way, she is SO motivational. Honestly, all the gymnasts in this show have been through so much and have so much to share.
