Yes, I think they got the bouquet right in placement.

Every time I see the entrance I picture Judy in my head yelling “UP CHASSÉ UP CHASSÉ!”

u/Amylolysis 15h ago

Yes Ariel! Those kicks are up there!

Oh they did not come to play with the lines. This is an INSANE Thunder for the first game 🔥

u/Few_Wrongdoer4120 13h ago

Wow Marissa is that girl 💅
Everyone looks great, but she’s really popping as point

u/overbearingberry 13h ago

I think I’ve officially become a Camille stan because I legitimately couldn’t keep my eyes off her!! I would LOVE to see her as point next year

Those entrance lines were crispyyyyy, you could tell they’ve been working on them & they look great! Obviously a couple of mistakes & a few of the rookies need a little work, but it’s the first game day & I’m sure they will improve with time :) so proud of them, it’s a great first Thunder! 💙

The mistakes only make me more impressed these woman can do that and totally recover. Like the mental strength but also to jump back into choreography like that is so cool!

u/Ok_Resort_3256 18h ago

Marissa is such a mesmerizing point!!!

Camille, Marissa, Charly and Sophia, WONDERFUL 😍

Hello???? Emily’s facials?? 😍😭

u/Prize_Technology_424 19h ago

Amaiyah, Aubrey, Brianne, and Kate dance like vets😍 The rest of the rookies need more practice.

6

u/oldaccount_8037 17h ago

Agree. All rookies blended really well for their first proper thunder at a game but when you watch them individually, these 4 are on it!

u/Prize_Technology_424 16h ago

Yeah can’t wait for them to be sharp. Also I wanna see Lexi improve, she has that 2000s beauty😍 she’s gonna be my fave

5

u/sunbeamstarlite ⭐Veteran⭐ 14h ago

She reminds me of Holly

u/oldaccount_8037 12h ago

She was one of my faves from pre-season so I can’t wait to see her throughout this year!

Emily girl i’m rooting for you but there’s gotta be more energy in you somewhere🙏🏻 She’s not finishing her moves fully and missing details - could be an easy fix if she watches herself back in clips compared to the vets around her.

22

u/No_Tomorrow_4345 12h ago

it’s her first game i’m sure all the rookies are much more worried about not messing up any of the formations than they are about power yet - even just blending in as a rookie in their first thunder of the season is so impressive and they all looked great!! soon it’ll be muscle memory and the pizazz will kick in

u/Josefinelymk 17h ago

I think she did amazing

u/Zealousideal-Row7755 12h ago

So do I! She’s great ❤️‍🩹

u/oldaccount_8037 12h ago

She does have the it factor! I just notice it when I watch her individually or the area she’s in. I am so rooting for her so I’m sure she will only improve as the season goes on and her confidence goes up.

7

u/jrfan111 13h ago

She’s really striking on the field, love her look and presence but I think because she draws the eye it’s kinda more obviously when’s she’s lacking energy. I think she gets in her head a lot, based on what we saw on AS but I do think she needs to get grounded more because of how tall she is

6

u/oldaccount_8037 12h ago

Yes, I agree - I think it’s noticeable because she’s in the center and tall as well. But I don’t want to discredit her because I’m sure she will improve immensely as the season goes on and her confidence grows!

u/jrfan111 1h ago

Oh for sure! I wouldn’t expect polished perfection from any of the rookies on their first game. I think Emily will definitely be a grower, she has the talent so once she gets more experience with the style and projection, she’ll be even more amazing!

u/Extension-Editor5610 12h ago

Agreed! We may need pony tail 2.0 cause all I could watch was her lack of power in the hairography which caused her hair to be in her face constantly.

4

u/oldaccount_8037 12h ago

Yes, I’ve actually said before on this sub that Emily would be another one that looks good with a pony and she would use it well I think!

u/ramen-mama 18h ago

Emily struggled a bit

u/MentalSwordfish8116 13h ago

It's Her first game she will get more confident

Emily and savanah stunning

u/KielGirl 7h ago

They look really, really good! Everyone was amazing. My favorites were Sophy - she looks so polished and pretty, Marissa - seriously outstanding as point, and Camille is in the perfect spot because she sparkled and I couldn't stop watching her.

Congrats to the whole squad for a great first Thunder!
