National Showcase - 1st Update

I know that many of you are anxiously awaiting our updates from National Showcase! We drove 13 1/2 hours on Tuesday with 4 Teens in the van - singing Hairspray in 3-part harmony (talented kids!)
Wednesday was spent PRACTICING - between the six skaters from our club - plus the one we've adopted from our neighboring club - we had practice ice from 9am to 10pm! Then it was to bed to rest, and up again this morning for our first day of events!
My E, our "adopted" club member E.H., and M with the ice as a backdrop before the days events start.


The "Teen Dramatic" Group B Initial Round Awards Stand. The judges did not favor us in this flight - E & K finished 8th and 9th - out of 9. Total Bummer - but as you can see - they were great sports about it!

The "Teen Light" Group B Awards Stand. The judges LIKED US this time!!! E & K topped the medal stand this time around - 1st and 2nd! (We like this placement a LOT better!)

Our club's medal winners for today check out their medals! Our friend E.F. took 3rd in the Final Round of PreJuvenile Dramatic with her amazing Hula Hoop/Cirque deSoleil number!

Our fabulous coach and all her students gather on the medals stand at the end of Day 1! Lots more events to skate tomorrow - and we definitely have some skaters in the Final Rounds on Saturday now! Hooray!

Friends from our club gather for a happy photo!!
