Welcome to Sunday at the ACT State Championships

A glorious day here in the ACT who, despite only being a Territory, still have a State Championships!

ChaosCentral has arisen fresh and shiny after spending a night with some of the Simpson Parents and dancers at a Chinese restaurant followed by an Irish Pub - all in the aim of cultural equality.  We only left after they stopped serving alcohol, so we did our bit there!

Today's competition looks to be a good one, with the junior age groups being well represented and also having the most competitors of the competition.  Dancing will start around 0930 and we will provide progress reports during the day.  And don't forget that some time after lunch, the Dance of Champions will grace the stage and also be broadcast on LiveCam.

Todays section numbers and trophies are:
  • In the Sub Minor Girls 7 Years, 13 dancers are competing for the Tir Eoghain Trophy donated by Lynn Crafter, and the Parfitt Family Tiara.
