| Very nice. A few of my co- workers or as I refer to them, future fencers, enjoyed it as well.

| Nice cinematography.
The only part I really did not like was when Lance lunged with a bent arm *shudder* | |

I actually think the all white look is both elegant and (can be) a bit intimidating... |

Best wishes to the band and congrats to AFC for a job very well done. | |

That said, you've definitely made your point. | |

Watch the final seconds. The man in Black steps forward and
pulls his blade back before thrusting. No NO!
Bad Epee!

| That was pretty neat, but I think I would Somehow have wanted if to be sabre 
I vote we start allowing cartwheels on strips cause it looks neat

| Too cool!
And they get double points for using epee instead of foil or sabre. | |

Bad Epee! | That's because he's used to making his attacks with something that has two wheels rather than a blade... | |

Bad Epee! | The only parts of the fencing that made me cringe was when the blades bent downwards... arghh! Otherwise it was much better than the typical crappy fencing you see on TV.
