BLUME Newcomers 2019 from Bavaria

<< The pyramid builders in the BLUME show from Lower Bavaria and those on the beach from Upper Bavaria came to Gran Canaria this year as the newcomers to the almost 60-year-old BLUME festival tradition: From the Lower Bavarian metropolis Landshut the railway association "ETSV 09 Landshut" and from Upper Bavaria, from the vicinity of Lake Chiemsee, the "TSV Siegsdorf". At the end of May / beginning of June, both groups qualified at the Bavarian Gymfestival Festival in Schweinfurt, as it were, through the special performances of their show performances. So they noticed the Spanish "Scouts", who annually hand over special invitations to the best island formations of such group competitions, such as "Show-Time", "Dance2u" and "Rendezvous of the Best" (- these are special general gymnastics events in Germany) invitations to the international island highlight "BLUME Gran Canaria" in the form of special conditions. And that, of course, raises the sporting and aesthetic level of the BLUME programs here at the island events year after year ...

♦♦ The "TSV Siegsdorf 09" from Upper Bavaria (Germany) was chosen as the "NEWCOMER of the year" at the Bavarian national finals "Rendezvous of the Best" in Schweinfurt on 2019, June 01. Coach Bernhard Pletschacher had put together this show formation only in February of this year, formed of members of the equipment gymnastics, dancing and acrobatics. Pletschacher himself was a former active gymnast and now the master metalworker has been volunteering for a quarter of a century as coach for his club.
The current reason to form this show group was the idea to keep former gymnasts in the club even after the end of their competitive activity and to continue to inspire. And so he put together several groups and from "Dance2u" - existing since 2011 - developed a dedicated dance and show group, which was currently even German runner-up in 2019, determined at the "Dance2u German final 2019", and named "Nameless "as a group only extremely narrowly beaten:

Here, for the BLUME Festival, Bernhard Pletschacher and his co-trainer Tina Papke, a former rhythmic gymnast, created and prepared the show dance "Dia de los Muertos" after a Mexican story about the "All Saints Day" that tells the story of a bride who marries into a "dead family" ...:

The choreography, the harmonious and musical realization, the spatial design, the stage presence and charisma and the almost technical perfect performance also found big applause in front of the crowded ranks of the Commercial Center "Yumbo" in Maspalomas !!
So they were already noticed with their elaborate and loving costumes, as with their dynamic and skilful manner of presentation, the jurors of the Bavarian Landesturnfest, which finally brought them the invitation to this journey to the island of eternal spring - including relaxing beach experiences, of course:

♦♦ Der "Eisenbahner Turn- und Sportverein ETSV 09 Landshut" ist noch einer der auffälligen bayrischen Vertreter, die auf die Vorschlagsliste vom Ex-Gymnasiallehrer Richard WIESER kam, und für die BLUME-Teilnahme eingeladen wurde. WIESER selbst führte die Rock'n Roll-Tanzgruppe seines "Nikolaus-Kopernikus-Gymnasiums" aus Weißenhorn selbst als vielbejubelte Showformation auch jährlich über 15 Mal als Jahreshöhepunkt zum Blume-Festival nach Gran Canaria.
Als Mitglied und Juror des "Showteams Bayern" schlug er diesmal auch die Girls (+ zwei Boys!) des "ETSV Landshut" für die Gran Canaria-Tour vor, die in der Wettbewerbskategorie "Show Time" beim Schweinfurter Landesturnfest besonders auffielen: Die beiden Sozialpädagoginnen Stephanie Neupert und Tanja Schedlbauer wurden dort als Sieger mit der Show "Intoxication" ausgezeichnet, die wahrlich zu einem "Rausch" der Sinne führte, obwohl sie noch gar nicht so lange gemeinsam an diesem Projekt arbeiten, 2019 erstmals bei einem Wettkampf teilnahmen, sich aber künftig auch weiterhin und vorwiegend den Shows widmen wollen.

* IMPRESSIONEN der Landshuter Performance "INTOXICATION":

Beeindruckend bei beiden bayrischen Blume-Debütanten war die bereits hohe Qualität ihrer Programme, obwohl sie sich eben erst in diesem Jahr zu diesen Formationen zusammengefunden haben. Chapeau!!
... selbst beim Pyramidenbau konkurrierten sie eindrucksvoll mit den spanischen Gastgebern!
