More Under 15s in marshalling...

The Under 15s are now on stage...

Smallish sections this year means the auditorium is only about 40% full, so there is plenty of room for everyone bit also less activity to photograph :(

On the other hand, the vendors are doing a good trade with last minute purchases and also requirements for Nationals in only *three* weeks time!!

Senior teams have finished, now waiting for results...

Figure dancers now marshalling...

I don't think the first two are in a figure...

4 hand own choreography in marshalling and on stage...

Unexpected entertainment at the competition...

We are being treated to a wonderful sound show by Kate Halloran, some deep rap-like beats and experimentation in electro-techno sounds.

Either that, or swapping the audio sources is causing some interesting feedback and clicks... :)

Senior teams are still going...
