In a season marked by stellar talents in a variety<br />
of entertainment mediums, the guys continued<br />
to impress with their unique talent... an all male<br />
modern clogging troupe.<br />
Harrison said the reality of the intensity of the<br />
competition hit home with him during the taping. “I<br />
remember when it hit me at first,” he said. “I was<br />
standing there with my arms crossed, my nose an<br />
inch away from a sixty by forty foot American flag,<br />
and knowing that, when this flag comes flying up,<br />
It was game time!” Harrison said that the reality of<br />
charging into eleven million living rooms, knowing<br />
that you have one shot and one shot only to win<br />
the viewers and the toughest judges over on what<br />
Howard Stern referred to as “America’s stage”<br />
was motivation for them to give it their all!<br />
He admits being nervous, but said that “the<br />
comfort of knowing seven of your best friends were<br />
right by your side and we were all going through<br />
this together was a rush!”<br />
“I would do it again in a heartbeat,” he said. And<br />
Joel is quick to add that the biggest reward has<br />
been all the positive support from friends, family<br />
and the clogging community as a whole. “<strong>We</strong><br />
just want the world to know how cool, unique and<br />
special this amazing sport of clogging is,” he said.<br />

the group often incorporates in their<br />
shows.<br />
