Senior Men NSW Champion - Jonathan Daddo _ Walton School

Dancing has finished for the NSW State Championships!!

And what a display - all weekend, fantastic and enthusiastic dancers of all ages and abilities. Supportive parents and friends, a great atmosphere and a wonderful time had by all in an excellent venue.

Presentations will be next, followed by the Dance of Champions. Results will be posted after all the fun has finished, and photos around midnight!

Sets almost finished - only another five to go

Then presentations, but probably after a short break for the marks to be tallied. Then, the Dance of Champions!

Nearly half way through the sets...probably only another 35 minutes or so...

Final dancing section of the day about to start

20 & Over Senior dancers set dances.

20 Years & Over Senior Dancers have finished their first round

They have been called to marshalling for their second round, but they may need a little breather; it certainly sounds that way!

Feis update

Just announced in the 20 Years & Over Senior Ladies section "The next two dancers are delayed as there has been a wardrobe malfunction" - perhaps this is why LiveCam can't broadcast the dancing :)

Senior Boys 15 Years NSW Champion - Three Way Tie!!!!

Senior Girls 15 years NSW Champion -Eileen Wallace- Wollongong Academy

Junior Girls 12 Year NSW Champion - Jordan Walter - Halloran School

14 Years have finished dancing

So its on to presentations - the last section of the competition, the 20 Years & Over will start after the presentations.

AND!!!! Don't forget that at the end of the competition, there will be the Dance of Champions - and it will be on LiveCam as well.

Feis update

The 14 Years sets are winding there way through to an inevitable finish; the senior age groups have entered the hall and become quite surprised that the competition is running early!

The hall is quite full as we have multiple age groups still waiting for their presentations, which will happen after the 14 Years finish.

Still no sign of chocolate crackles and, that last aside will indicate to more astute readers that the guest commentator has (temporarily?) departed and been replaced by the usual (dis)reputable management of ChaosCentral :)

Sometimes you just don't need a caption...

The Girls' Sets are finished.

The Boys are starting there are six competitors.

News from the Streets

Well as no-one has come to feed us, we have fed ourselves from the offerings in Sutherland township. The choice was two Indian takeaways, two Vietnamese roll shops, a Kebab shop and a Subway. The golden rule when in unknown territory - go the food chain. Nice Subway. The highlight of the trip in the fresh air was the saxophonist busking outside Mr India. While he wasn't an accordion player he was still very good.

Only another 16 sets to go.....in the 15 Years

15 Years set dances now underway

19 girls and six boys to dance their sets....and the 14 Years are starting to warm up outside and will dance after this section. Presentations are not expected until around 1745 but the feis is running on time or possibly slightly early :)

12 Years Boys now doing their set dances

15 Years sets are next

In case you are wondering, the final 12 Years set is dancing

The 15 Years have been called to marshalling for their sets.

Feis update

The sets are progressing, and so is the descent into insanity of the ChaosCentral staff. Could it be a sugar low (not a chocolate crackle in sight), or could it be that lunch has come and gone, but no food has passed our lips? Could it be...........?

Feel free to drop by for a chat, or to get a photo or to deliver food :)

OOOh Goody 45 Set dances about to start.

15 Years Girls have finished their soft shoe round

Senior Boys have been called to the stage.

There has been a call for a bit of shush up the back. The chastened hall falls into a probably very short lived silence.

Don't forget - Any Cheerios you want broadcast, just ask.

Two floors and from observation the ground floor is for the competitors and family and upstairs for a more relaxed view.

No chocolate crackles. But we have mandarins.

Marshalling smiles

Placings for these section will be coming shortly

The morning's Presentations are over and the afternoon sections will begin marshalling at high noon. This is 30 mins early. But as all good Irish Dancers know you have to be ready half an hour before anyway so no worries.

All the Boys are now doing their soft shoe dances

Feis update

The 11 years have been called to marshalling, but are hiding!! The musician and adjudicators are ready, all we need are some more dancers.

Today, ChaosCentral will be graced by a guest commentator! This means that there is a very real prospect of some actual Irish Dancing information being broadcast, rather than the usual load of old rubbish :) As the guest commentator is a highly-respected member of the ID community, we are protecting their identity - they will conduct their guest commentating whilst wearing a green mask and cape!

And now the feis is underway.

Welcome to Sunday at the NSW State Championships

ChaosCentral has braced the wilds of the far and untamed south of the Sydney basin, has brought their passports and had their visas stamped at the border, and once again ventured into the "Shire" to bring you all the news that's fit to print - and the usual stuff that we do as well!

Sunday has dawned bright and fresh and the Entertainment Centre is warm, the hall is filling and the anticipation is clear on the faces of parents and dancers. And there are still no chocolate crackles :(

Feis update

The last 19 Years Ladies dancer is on stage, to be followed by a single 19 Years Mens dancer, then presentations!!

Photos will be available on www.swoose.net around midnight - or perhaps later....

Feis update

The hall is now quite empty compared to earlier. With only the more senior age groups dancing, the large crowds of the morning have dissipated and only the hard-core families and friends are left. Still, this is some of the best dancing that can be seen in NSW, so the audience is being treated to a tour-de-force by the dancers on stage.

Gourmet food update
Very little to report here....the canteen within the centre does a sterling job at cold drinks, sweets, chips and the like, but over the road is where the real gourmet action is to be found; although I didn't see anyone with chocolate crackles. In breaking news, ChaosCentral has heard that chocolate crackles are being made - even as we speak - by a Simpson dancer in the ACT. Perhaps they are preparing a horde for ChaosCentral's visit next week for the Feile Tir an Oir?

And now the 17, 18 & 19 Years are dancing their sets....

Relaxed in marshalling….

Soft shoe rounds are progressing nicely!

17, 18 & 19 Years now doing their soft shoe round

ChaosCentral is going to take an (in)sanity break and not announce each of the sections because, well....they go past fairly quickly.

After the soft shoe dances, the 13 & 16 Years presentations will be on!

19 Years Men now on stage

19 Years are doing their hard shoe round

18 Years Junior Men now on stage

18 Years now on stage for their hard shoe round

16 Years sets have finished

17 Years are about to hit the stage, followed by 18 Years then 19 Years....then back for their soft shoe round, then 13 & 16 Years presentations!

16 Years Boys have started their sets

17 & 18 Years have been called to marshalling

They will be dancing interleaved with the 19 Years - I think!

In the 17 Years Junior Ladies, 11 dancers are competing for the Amy Viles Memorial Trophy and the Sheary Family Tiara.

In the 17 Years Junior Men, one dancer is competing for the James A Carroll Memorial Trophy donated by Genevieve Carroll TCRG.

In the 18 Years Junior Ladies, 14 dancers are competing for the Marcelle Bird Cup and the Hilda Walton Memorial Tiara.

In the 18 Years Junior Men, three dancers are competing for the Joyce Trophy donated by John joyce TCRG and the Kathleen & William Douglas Memorial Cup donated by Margaret Cox.

In the 19 years Ladies, nine dancers are competing for the AIDA Teachers Trophy and the Hamilton Family Tiara.

Int he 19 Years Men, one dancer is competing for the Jimmy Costello Memorial Trophy.

The 16 Years set dances are still progressing.....

16 Years sets....about 33% done :)

16 Years Girls are now on stage doing their sets

13 Years Boys now dancing their sets

The 16 Years sets will follow...

13 Years are back in marshalling for their sets

And the 16 Years have also been called to marshalling for their sets.

Presentations for these sections are scheduled for after the frist two rounds of the 17/18/19 Years sections, so stay tuned!

More feis scenes

We are about half way through the 13 Years set dances, then we have around 20 of the 16 Years sets….the numbers aren't exact as there have been withdrawals from each section.

Feis scenes

Still the height of fashion!

No matter where you point a camera, some people always get in the frame :)

Our musician, in full flight...

And the 13 Years have been recalled for their set dances.

16 Years have been called to marshalling for their hard shoe round

In this section, 23 dancers are competing for the Aisling Society Trophy and the Leanne Ney Tiara, and also for the Elizabeth "Lily" Claro Memorial Trophy.

In the Boys section, four dancers are competing for the Darcy Franklin Memorial Trophy.

Feis update

Now that the younger age groups have finished, the hall seems less full and certainly more quiet. Hard to tell what is better, the busy chatter of younger excited dancers that causes the adjudicators to ring their bell for silence, or the relaxed but slightly empty silence of the more experienced dancers......?

The 13 Years are back for their soft shoe round, dancing on stage two at a time.

13 Years Boys now on stage

He is dancing for the Cannon Family Shield, donated by Donna Reilly-Cannon ADCRG.

Happy 9th birthday!!

13 Years are now on stage

27 dancers are competing for the Frank & Bobbie O'Brien Memorial Trophy and the ME & FM Fahey Memorial Tiara.

NOTE about the results

I am copying them exactly as they are on the printout - that means that the State Medal winners are not shown. It is ChaosCentral's understanding that all other dancers who competed and are not on the placing list, received a State Medal.

8 Years are now doing their set dances

Presentations will follow this section.

Presentations soon!!

Results will be put up after the presentations and photos are taken. Remember, there will be a PresentationCam running!!

7 Years are now doing their Traditional Sets

They are on stage three at a time.

7 & 8 Years are in marshalling for their soft shoe round

And now the 7 Years are on stage....

The 8 Years are now on stage

They are dancing their hard shoe round three at a time on stage.

The competition is running about 1 hour late at this point, there will be the remainder of the hard shoe dances, about another five dances, followed by 45 dancers doing their Traditional Set dances.....

Feis update

The Sub Minor 7 Years & Under Girls are dancing their hard shoe round three at a time on stage. One of the dancers just had a small slip, but she smiled, got up and kept dancing along with a smile on her face. At the end of that dance there was a rousing round of applause.

The 8 Years are about to dance their hard shoe round.

7 & 8 Years in marshalling

And some famous faces

Feis update

In the Sub Minor 7 Years & Under Championship, 26 dancers are competing for the Cathy Lea TCRG Perpetual Trophy and a Tiara donated by Geraldine French ADCRG. This section is sponsored by Edgware Carpentry Services P/L.

In the Sub Minot Girls 8 Years Championship, 19 dancers are competing for the Brennan Trophy and the Myrl Matthews Memorial Tiara.

10 Years Championship dancing has finished

The 7 & 8 Years are in marshalling awaiting their first round.

7 & 8 Years have been called to marshalling

Feis update

10 Years sets are still underway and with some audio going, it should be a better LiveCam experience. Unfortunately, until the presentations, the only video I can get to work is the on-board camera showing ChaosCentral typing away - not particularly fascinating viewing.....

But never fear, presentations will be broadcast and this year they will be done differently from the past - stay tuned!

Gourmet food update
There is a small on-site canteen with a small range of food, but outside there are plenty of shops offering a wider range of goodies, and external food is allowed in :)
