This was a lesson learned by many aspiring participants at last year's regionals, also held in Boulder. "Last year helped put it in perspective," says Baptiste. "Kids were coming up to me and saying, 'I know what I have to do to be better next year. I'm going to go back to the lab and get my practice on.' The contest is a way for Denver to catch up with what's going on around the country. Once they get together with DJs nationally, locally and from other states, they really get an opportunity to see what level they're at."
According to Baptiste, this year's contest drew more than forty entries from California, Puerto Rico, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. "This event is just going to grow," he adds. "My goal is to get the U.S. finals here in a couple of years."
