When Kyle Blitch sent me the email that we were doing tsunami I about cried lol tsunami is the most underestimated all girl team in this industry flat out! Not many teams let alone athlete could even hit 4 times in a row let alone hit in the dark! I love tsunami because they love the sport and could care less! After reminesing me crawling off of the stage from hittin hips and talking to the girl who also messed up her knee during tsunami day 2 pt. 1 at worlds I put great thought into the voices as well reviewing what message the coach wanted to get across! Kyle made sure the music was emotional and strong and I made sure the Voiceovers would equally match the music! Saying all that the vos are:

Tsunami on the stage everybody pipe down, we will crown even if it takes 4 more rounds!

Marlins bring the drama bring the drama, WAIT....bring the waves!


Waves that gives chill yeah tsunami got them skills, check the bond check the sisterhood, get like us you wish u could

Hurtling the obstacles we can weather any storm, beat the odds raise the stakes marlins back to take the cake

Feel the force hear that bass, marlins wettin up the place, in yo face girl SHAZAM , tsunami we got that glam

n the light or in the dark we will finish what we start

I got goosebumps just reading these. Best voiceovers so far!
 
And in the other music it says:
With your love and support Tsunami wants to say
The waters are rough and you see the waves forming, Tsunami's back and you shouldn't need a warning.
All our lives we've waited for you to...
I promise, to give, I promise, my love, I promise, to never let you down.
Keep your eyes on the floor, we'll show you how we do it. Keep the lights shining, shining, shining, and please don't stop the music.
Maryland marlins. This is a warning... TTTSSSSUUUNNnNaAaAMMMMMIIIIIIII
We used to be the new girls but now you know the name. You know why we do it? For the love of the game.
It's time to kill it, that's right.

LOVE. these describe them PERFECTLY. LOVELOVELOVE.

LOVE.
 
Well hello everyone :) The fact that I am not no longer captain of Tsunami this year has been really difficult for me because this team meant everything to me, and they still do. After moving on with my life and being a student at The Pennsylvania State University, I feared losing that part of my life and that it would just be a sport that kept me busy as a young adult. I was so wrong. I think about Tsunami every single day. These girls had such an impact on my life and I can never be more thankful for what the Marlins organization has given to me. That being said, I know they do not have a voice on here any more so I would like to remind you how my team does things. Every single year I would come on these boards and read what the cheer world had to say about my team. Three years ago, on my way to worlds for the FIRST time with my Small Senior team, you know know what the boards had to say? A whole lot of..nothing. Tsunami was not a talked about team, we had about 5 fans total and everyone else didn't know who we were or just blew us off. The few comments that were posted about us were printed out and hung all over the walls in our gym because we thought it was cool that people knew who we were. We place 15th that year and we were so proud because we hit our routine at finals and people started to notice that we might have "potential." The next season we decided to take a huge risk and take on the large senior division. Many people on the boards found this quite comical and predicted that we would not make it to finals. We had a very rocky start, but we worked our butts off and we ended up beating a team in "the big four" in prelims, and placing fifth in the world our FIRST year in the division. As a super senior in our second season as a large team, I believed in my team more than anything. I saw once again, just as every other season as the people in the cheer world doubted us again and again and ripped us apart after every performance. I know how this felt, and it sucked. It sucked after performing with a few mistakes that my first thought was "well the boards are about to tear us to shreads." I knew because I used to be just another fan from a no named team from Maryland who read the boards religiously and I never lost this humble feeling. That season we just kept thinking "it will be worth it, somehow someway it is gonna work out" because for Tsunami, it always had because of how hard we worked for it. After only THREE years at Worlds, we came so far and I am so lucky to have been part of that journey. Worlds 2011 was the best weekend of my life and I do not think I will ever feel the emotions that I experienced that weekend. I could not have more pride as an alumni as I do now because of the way we conquered what was thrown at us last April. I will NEVER forget a single moment, and Tsunami 2011 will always hold it's own special place because they are the most inspiring group of people I will ever have the pleasure of being around.

I heard Tsunami had a few mistakes this weekend, and I knew all eyes would be on them because of our story from worlds and expectations would be EXTREMELY high for them. I knew that Tsunami would most likely have a few errors because at the start, we always do. I knew people would have their opinions and everyone will have things to say so I came to defend the strongest, most hard working girls that I know. Tsunami WILL get there, and they WILL work their hardest. They KNOW they are not perfect, but they do not have a huge organization or a pool of level five cheerleaders and they do not need you guys to tell them. They will train cheerleaders that have never competed level five, and they will train cheerleaders who have never been to worlds. They will take girls with heart and determination and teach them to never stop believing in the dream. They ALLWAYS want to do better and I know that the doubters just fired them up for practices even more than ever. This is the most talented group of girls I have ever seen Tsunami have, and as much as it kills me to not be a part of it, my heart will always be on that mat with them, and I am such a proud fan. "Hated and Underestimated" "Do not underestimate me again" "You had a warning, we came by surprise" come onnnnn people don't you get how this team works yet?! Hahaaa I BELIEVE now more than ever<3 I just want you to remember how new Marlins still is to all of this, and they are still learning so much! They may need a little more time than everyone else, but I know that they are going to be amazing :) You shouldn't need a warning to believe that they are gonna do some damage this season. Love you ladies, and they do appreciate all of the love that is sent. Trust me, it means more than you think. Love your NUMBER ONE FAN, Brittany Trappe

One of my favorite voice overs of the season last year :) Your girls were so sweet...my daughter was just one of the little kids (she was 5 at the time) who was honored enough to have her picture taken w/some of your girls. It's such a cute picture! Well we took two bc a bug almost flew into one of the girls' mouth and the first picture captured that (although it was still hella cute bc the girl looked adorable. I'll message you the pics :) We (as were many people I know) seriously impressed with your team this year and to learn that it was only your 3rd year at worlds?!!! Did I read that right as well??!! I was there and saw all four performances!! Amazing teamwork, heart, and dedication they posses. Especially after the injury. That broke my heart bc y'all had just experienced the lights out issue (and y'all were still going, lol!).

I appreciate you taking the time to address the board in such a passionate, yet respectful manner. I know everyone is entitled to their opinions, and that most people feel you have to accept the good w/the bad...but I came in this thread, mostly hoping to see a video :( and it made me sad to see all the negative comments. I realize that a lot of people don't mean any harm and are just voicing their opinions like we all do on everything else here...but I'll admit I was really bummed and ready to comment about it until I saw your post. It made me smile, feel pride (despite not knowing you personally) and end up w/more respect for your team than I already had acquired from seeing y'all at worlds :) It also reminded me of our organization and their core philosophies, like "success if from the heart", "if you can believe it you can achieve it", "going after your dreams', and love most of all...like the love you feel for your former team and the heart and dedication they have to keep reaching!! Don't ever let anyone try to deter you from keeping your eyes on the prize ladies!

I understand what people are commenting about regarding expectations...and although I know it seems highly negative to you and your former team, try looking at it a different way and use that motivate you even more. People have high expectations bc of your outstanding performances at worlds and they want to see more of it bc y'all really showed us what heart, dedication, perseverance, and teamwork can accomplish! So while some people are really harsh with their comments, I think most of them want to see y'all succeed. I totally get why it's very upsetting though, and in no way am I trying to make light of it..just hoping it might help any of your girls reading this w/some encouragement. After reading what you wrote, I have no doubt that your team has a bright future if they all continue to posses the qualities you listed :)

Best of luck to TSU this year and I'm impatiently waiting for a video I can see :confused: ...even if they DO contain mistakes, bc we all know no one is perfect!! *I did see the very first one before it was taken down a couple of weeks ago...and I still want/ed to see this most recent one. I will continue to wait impatiently.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Don't give people permission to take away your spirit and/or make you feel bad..As hard as it can be sometimes, we all hold the power within ourselves and the moment we give it away, aka..allow people to make you feel inferior, you've given them the control. I understand this probably even harder for some of the younger girls in their early teens to do, but it's still a fantastic way to try to get them to look at negative and/or hurtful things in a different light.

Wow thank you so much. This was so sweet of you! I will definitely pass on the photos, and your kind words :) And don't worry I know that they are using the negative comments as motivation for sure! We always have tried to turn the negative energy into helping us in a positive way. Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message.:) It means a lot
