Many thanks to the Ku-Ring-Gai fathers who not only ran the score tallying process, but also kept ChaosCentral supplied with electronic versions of the marks, so that you, the readers, could get the information quickly :)
Next week we will be at the Southern Stars Feis in Adelaide - a fantastic feis and a great warm-up for the Nationals. See you online then!

15 Years & Over presentations!
And then we pack up and travel back to the nerve centre from which we launch the photos onto www.swoose.net - some time after 1930....
Soft shoe dances now on stage
That means n about ten minutes, presentations will start. Well, after the last of the hard shoe dancers finished their re-dance :)
The Great Cupcake disaster of 2012!!!
As is our wont, ChaosCentral was languidly stretched out across a number of seats towards the rear of the hall. As it happened, those seats were occupied by Siobhan White or, more accurately, her cupcake, which she had placed there for safe keeping as an energy boost or treat after her hard shoe round.
Of course, ChaosCentral was unaware of the prior location of said cupcake, and in the process of disporting across the chairs, also caused an unexpected and undesired change in the shape and location of said cupcake. But only became aware of that when Siobhan innocently enquired "Are you sitting on a cupcake?" Of course, the immediate answer was "No", but after 10ms of checking it was changed to "Oops!"
So, another ChaosCentral triumph and an additional skill to the resume - Cupcake Destroyer to the ID community.
The photo shows Siobhan bravely continuing to her hard shoe round after the terror of the event.
Hard shoe rounds now called to marshalling
And in a Gourmet Food update, then canteen is still doing strong business, although the cappuccino cart departed the scene some hours ago :(
My goodness, we are racing along!
Only three more set dancers to go, then the hard shoe and soft shoe rounds and we are don - aprt from presentations of course :)
Another short break...
We are again/still ahead of time, so we are enjoying a short break in the proceedings :)

The soft shoe dancers are on stage now
And having a bouncy time indeed! The 15 Years & Over will start after presentations, but the hall seems less full than it should be at this time of the competition....
Perhaps the seniors are all outside practising....?
There are only three more groups of dancers to compete, so we should have results starting in around five minutes.

Hard shoe round now underway
And the hall is still warm and comfortable! In our constant effort to keep the reading public updated with the latest trends, we again ventured to the canteen, this time to try a hot dog. ChaosCentral gives it two thumbs-up and Julia, who tagged along for verification purposes, also recommends the toasted sandwiches and honey-joys. The latter, of course, being quite inferior to chocolate crackles :)
The feis is still on time and after presentations the final section of the day, 15 Years & Over, will have their opportunity to shine.

13 & 14 years called to marshalling
They are slowly drifting in, like tumbleweeds in a gentle breeze. It seems the older the age groups become, the less stressed they are about getting to marshalling quickly.
And now we are on our way!

9 & 10 Years set dances are progressing nicely
Outside in the real world it is sunny and warm, the cappuccino cart is doing a roaring trade and the hall is about half-full of very content people. And we are still running on time!
Beware of slow moving dancers
Sounds like a weather warning, but in this case it is a general ID warning. In a move emulating the rapid response (!) of the senior sections in other competitions, the 9 & 10 Years are drifting in for their set dances, so tardy are they in their move to marshalling that only one competitor is there for the two sections.
So, they have been warned to move it or lose it :)

Slight pause whilst....something....is going on
Don't know quite what....but the hall is buzzing. It could be the great coffee from the cappuccino cart!
The 5 Years dancers are, confusingly, dancing in the 7 & 8 Years section. Perhaps it would be better names the 8 Years & Under (except no 6 Years) section :)

Gourmet food update update!
Delivered fresh from the canteen, the King of Nibbles, a chocolate crackle, escorted by a freshly-made lemon meringue cupcake! This is truly a gourmet food feis!
Gourmet food update
As the soft shoe rounds are progressing, we thought it our duty to wander off in the general direction on the canteen to survey and sample their comestible delights (that is, food). We tried their bacon and egg roll and it was wonderful. Upon reflection, we were uncertain how wonderful, so purchased a second - confirmation, a great breakfast!!
And, to top of the food review, the cappuccino cart arrived and set up in the sun at the back of the Community Centre. Sitting in the sun with a cappuccino and a bacon & egg roll, the music almost inaudible in the distance, it was almost as if we had arrived at a place where there was no Irish Dancing :)
Still, back to reality - the soft shoe rounds are nearly over and we should expect results around 1030.

Feis update
The Beginners and Primary dancers are on stage doing their hard show round and lots of proud parents are up the front filming them dancing. The front row of seats has been set aside for this purpose and almost every group on stage has at least two people filming. They will have wonderful memories for life!
The hard show round is almost finished and the soft shoe dancers have been called to marshalling.

All Beginners & Primary dances will be on LiveCam
As video and photography of Beginners and Primary dancers whilst dancing is now allowed, ChaosCentral will stream those sections to LiveCam. So if friends of the dancers want to watch, let them know!

Just waiting as they get themselves organised
There is a sense of excitement filling the hall, the Champions are out the back practising....wonder why if they are already that good? Anyway, any moment the show will start.
Two more teams sections to go!
And only three teams in total, so presentations should be around 1445, then Dance of Champions.
ChaosCentral has a plane to catch so the departure from the venue may be somewhat undignified. Photos from teams and Dance of Champions may not be up until after we return home, some time after 2100....

LiveCam question from the interwebs
ChaosCentral was just approached by a parent and told that some people watching LiveCam noticed that it is pointed at marshalling and not showing them dancing on stage - and they wondered why as they would like to watch the team dancing.
ChaosCentral believes, quite possibly incorrectly, that the recent An Commisiun rule change allowed for the photography and videoing of beginner/primary dancers whilst they are on stage. We are not aware that it extends to teams, hence our inability to stream team dancing. Should we be wrong, or should that change, we would be very happy to stream team dancing.
Should any TCRG/ADCRG/TMRF or An Commisiun members read this and correct us (publicly or privately), we would be most grateful :)

Feis update
Just announced: Food from the canteen is now half price.
So, those of you watching LiveCam and reading LiveCommentary, get down here now and buy some! If you are not from Canberra, it doesn't matter, phone through an order and they will leave it outside for you to pick up, the Canberra weather will keep it edible for days :)
On more feis related news, the junior teams are now in marshalling and somehow we have become 30 minutes late....

The 10 Years sets are about to start
The solo dancing for the day will be over once they finish. After the presentations there will be a lunch break, followed at 1330 by Junior Teams and then finally, the Dance of Champions.
9 & 10 Years sets now on stage
There are approximately 17 to dance, so results are more likely to be around 1230....
Feis update
With the soft shoe round over, there is time again for a break. The adjudicators were seen leaving the building for a stroll in the Canberra sun - and there is some too! The canteen is dispensing gourmet delights, including table service, or at least delivery, for the popular and queue-forming toasted sandwiches.
And for some reason, the chocolate crackles aren't selling well, although one adjudicator was spotted eyeing them with intent :)
The very excited sub-minors are clustering around the marshalling area, ready for their set dances and in many cases, they are accompanied by younger siblings who look envious and wanting to dance as well.
The adjudicators have returned, the sound of the St Patrick's Day set dance music is drifting through the air, now the Blackbird makes its appearance (musically, not ornithologically) and we are ready to go.
Results and presentations look to be sometime around 1200.

Dancers are on stage two at a time, the 10 Years are nearly finished, so soon the rhythm of the set dances will grace our ears - and the adjudicators' too!
Feis update
The first round dancing has finished and, as we have so much time available to us, we are having a little break. Having wandered outside in search of a cappuccino or latte, ChaosCentral has returned indoors empty handed. A brisk 3km walk down to Dickson shops would result in a nice coffee but at the expense of too much time away - and the likelihood of getting some exercise.
So, unless the cappuccino fairy materialises here (no sugar thanks), it is instant or tea-bag. Oh, to correct an incredible mistake from yesterday, the canteen *is* selling chocolate crackles, including a never-before-seen variety - gluten free. I had no idea that there was gluten in chocolate crackles....ChaosCentral learns something new every day :)
