Nationals

Quinn's in blue and yellow
Maria
Can you find Jenna with the dark hair and red & white dress? (well there's a lot of those.)


Our school sent ten dancers to Nationals, and eight of them recalled. Our Ladies 20+ Cassie placed 28th, Ladies U18 Kailey placed 40th, Girls U16 Jenna placed 34, U14 boys Kellan placed 8th, our two U11's Quinn & Maria got 22nd and 33rd, and U8 Tess got 34th. Good job everybody!!

We really enjoyed following the competition on the nationals web site and especially the photographs -- if you haven't seen it take a look at:

North American Irish Dance Championships

Anyway...
We had a good fourth of July. We stayed home and ate corn on the cob. And slushees. It was fun to just lay around the house!!
