Extremely rude and nasty of them to not invite Bradie. There were only 6 competitors in ladies ffs.
I've seen her exhibition program too. It's super fun and she performs it really well. The audience would have enjoyed it.
I'm hoping that maybe she had an early flight or something, and turned the Gala down. This made me sad too though-leaving out one person in a group seems harsh. I think what they should have done is have 1) only the top 3 per group for both Jr. and Sr.s'. This makes 24, 12 per half.
