Come back everybody.
So here we are joined by
San Diego states, diamonds.
You all shine so bright.
I'm so happy to see all
of you out here today.
We just featured you on the
Zeppelin zone and it was like one
of my favorite Zeppelin zones.
I'm so glad that we get to
have you in our back lot.
It's like a celebrity
sighting happening right here.
I'm gonna start with you Brianna.
Cause first I want you to
tell me about this team.
Tell me why they're so special,
why everyone needs to come
out Saturday to watch them
at the homecoming game.
Ohh absolutely.
So
these are the major team. We
are the diamonds.
San Diego State University,
they specialize in majorette dance,
which is typically more popular in
the South and seen on HB CU Dance,
HB CU style dance teams.
And it's, we're just really
excited to bring that flavor
to San Diego State University.
So make sure we see you guys
tomorrow at the game. Yes,
yes. And it's a big homecoming game.
I wore red two to represent
because I know that's a big deal.
And of course, you know,
we want to talk about this
team specifically this year.
We saw some of your moves in that piece.
I don't know how you do what you do,
but tell me a little bit
about your background.
You're the captain of the team.
I am. So technically I don't
have a dance background.
I've been dancing for only two years,
but I shut down my freshman
year and then making the team.
And so I've been on the team for
four years now and now I'm captain
and now you're captain. Yeah.
So what was it just in your blood?
You just knew how to do this? I think
so. Always been passionate.
I always wanted to be a major dancer
ever since when I was younger.
I grew up watching HBC U's and I just knew
I wanted to be on the field with them.
That's awesome.
What does it feel like to be out there?
Ohh. It feels amazing.
It's just like a rush of energy.
You don't even know like what's going on.
The crowds going crazy.
It's so much going on.
It's just so fun
cause you pump up the crowd I
think like no one else can.
I mean the way we see it out there.
And I do want to talk about this
because I was shocked there
were a few years where you were
not allowed to be on the field.
Tell me about that. Correct.
So initially when the team was started
in 2012 by our founder, Maderia. Mm-hmm.
She we were they were an organization,
just an organization, a club on campus.
So it's a group of girls that got together.
They loved watching HB CU.
They love watching those dancers.
They're like, we gotta do that here.
So they put it together.
They're here.
And but it was just wasn't really
widely accepted at San Diego State.
It's a different type of dance.
So we move our whole body.
We try to tell the entire story
like it's a exciting type of dance,
but it also can be kind of really smooth.
They give you all the flavor.
So it's just a little
bit of something that
they hadn't seen before.
OK, but now that, you know,
season 10 is here and they've arrived,
they're doing such a great job.
Like you have no choice.
But like she said, to watch it,
to watch, you gotta watch of course
and welcome you on the field.
People are gonna be begging for you
out there on Saturday night. Exactly.
Nodding their head. You sure are.
OK, so when Brianna just said the flavor,
I do wanna learn a little bit about that.
We have Evan and Eric also here because
we want to learn some of your diamond
signature moons freezing cold this morning.
It's so. I don't know if we can
bring the flavor right now.
You guys are bringing the warm.
You guys, you're not thinking about it.
You're bringing the warm and
just teach us what
to do, OK? OK. Do you want me to start off?
Can I give this to you? Yes. Thank you.
I wanna do it
right like this. You start with
your left leg, so left, right,
left, right, left, right. Yeah.
You are going like this, yeah. Yeah,
my kind of excuse me. Yeah.
OK, let's count some like that.
6782.
Yeah, that's good. You're good at this.
Thank you.
Our day jobs now with the Pro is doing
exactly now let's see the real magic
because we do get a couple
of minutes to not produce.
I'm not sure how much time
we have left can ask another.
We have one more minute before
we'll let you take it away. Ohh OK.
So just a real quick question.
When it's out there when
you're out there on the field,
what's it like for you?
Like she said, it's amazing. It's
a real feeling. We practice so
hard so getting to show everyone
and showcase that hard work,
it just feels really good.
So I've been dancing together
is can't describe it.
Beautiful. Thank you so much.
I'm gonna let you now take
those the rest of our segment
away so you can perform for us.
Thank you so much.
Listen to me and listen to me good, OK?
Ready or not, here I come. You can't hide.
Behind you.
Jake.
Yeah.
Spelling.
That's better.
Yeah.
Hello. Hello.
Catholics.
