Protocols are up as well
They need to work on their YP levels for GPF and they should be well on their way

Yes, they'll have time to work on them before the GPF. Great outing for them.

Thanks for the links golden411! We have a Canadian dance & an American dance thread, and the Tessa & Scott and Meryl & Charlie fans seemed to post there rather than creating a Fan Fest thread. I so glad both teams now have their own fan fest threads. They are both very special teams, and I am not looking forward to the 2014-2015 when one or both teams will be retired. I am just enjoying them now.

Agreed - I was so shocked that Tessa and Scott didn't have one that I had to make it!
And golden, thanks so much for posting those videos!

Also, here's a picture of their last rotational lift

I was surprised there wasn't a thread for Tessa and Scott so I started one but again surprisingly all their fans didn't keep it up and so it was archived. Maybe it's good now that there is a Fan Fest section so this thread will be kept in perpetualty.

Love their Carmen! They are superb in choreography, techniques, and performance. Like their new take on the relationship too, with Carmen being the eventually defiant and triumph one. Power to the femme fatale!

Maybe you should have a mirror banner as well as a correct reading banner, since it seems most of the youtubes these days are uploaded mirrored to defeat youtube's penchant for taking down skating videos?

If anyone wants to make a mirrored banner I can give them a beautiful vinyl poster of T&S.This was what I ordered first in order to 'make' a banner and not being artistic at all. then DH suggested that I should have the work done for me taking pity on my banner making skills and he ordered another one with the words Tessa & Scott our living legends in red. So now I have to only arrange to have it hung up.

Perhaps if you check with the arena beforehand? I know other arenas in the states have guidelines, some helpful, some not so much?

BTW, there is a recent interview with Marina, mostly about Tessa & Scott at Cup of Russia

I've been going through the GS archives to see what interviews GS has done with our Fan Fest favs, and

In 2003, when they were juniors (and already crowd pleasers)

And 2009, as an Olympic season preview

The Virtue/Moir website has been updated, including the addition of their GP wins and some links to recent media coverage.

This anecdote about their determination was new to me:

“We were at a competition in 2007...and I decided that I wasn’t going to let anyone else tell me what my dream would be,” Moir describes. “I remember being on the plane ride home... I took out a piece of paper and I wrote what I thought I needed to do and what steps I needed to take in order to be Olympic Champion. And I put it in my wallet. It’s still there today and I’ve tried my best to follow those [steps].”
