  • It was a great event!

    We realized success in our fields was not based on our individual efforts alone but by the concentrated efforts of each of us working synergistically.

    Please be on the lookout for the united front that will come from this event and several others like it!

    Block Band and our new partners will always work to be on the forefront of the Showstyle Revolution!
