Feis: Clarkson an Samhra
Fun, but looong feis. I could have done worse, it was my first time to compete in all Open dances and I won 4th's in Slip Jig, Treble Jig and Set, plus a 5th in Reel. Fairly large comps, 15-20 dancers each, which made it fun. Treble reel at the end of the day was a blast, MANY dancers, great music and a wonderuflly responsive audience! I didn't place, but my friend Carolyn got a 5th in her age group, I was so proud of her!! =) At the last minute when my turn came to perform, I decided to put my hands on my hips at two intervals of my step, my mom was beaming at me waaaay in the back of the room ...I wonder if I came off as dorky as I felt LOL(luv ya mom)

Feis: Drake School, peach State Feis
First time to wear my solo dress to a feis. Very long drive (10 hours) but luckily time passes fast when you are gabbing with friends. These were all Novice dances for me, I placed 1st in Hornpipe, 1st in Treble Jig, 3rd in Reel and 3rd in Slip Jig. We watched Olive Hurley dance at the Ceili afterwards, and on the drive home we passed through Lookout Mountain in TN!
