	Cheap directorial ploy.  Flashes are NOT allowed in competitions
period.  Offenders are asked politely to stop, and if they don't, are asked
not-so-politely to leave.

. The constant screaming and yelling of the "audience" seemed way out of
. proportion too.  

	Again cheap directorial ploy.  Virtually every competition I've 
been involved with is strangely quiet during a routine, only to "noise
up" after completion...and even that is relatively subdued due to other
routines going on at the same time.  Especially fine performances can be
detected by the lack of sound during the performance of the routine.
