Marshalling










And just the general business of getting ready...

The dancers have returned to dance their sets

We should be on schedule for the remaining age groups to dance, starting at 1600.  The hall is about half full and nice and warm, and the canteen at the back has all the goodies one would expect....except no chocolate crackles :)

In marshalling

Dancers are now on stage for their soft shoe round

The 13, 14 and 15 Years sections are on the stage!!

As there are relatively few competitors in this afternoon's age groups, they are dancing each section sequentially, with age groups doing their hard shoe, then changing when all age groups have danced and all age groups then doing their soft shoe.  At least that is what I think I heard :)

They are dancing on the stage, two at a time.  For those who have been to Dickson College, it is a large stage in both width and depth and has a very good sound.  The adjudicator, who is perched on a somewhat small elevated set of block, has an excellent view and can hear every beat and shuffle.

Trophies and competitors....

In the 14 Years & Under Intermediate, there are three dancers competing for The Sullivan Family Trophy.

In the Senior Girls Intermediate, there are four dancers competing for a trophy donated by Maryanne McManus.

In the 13 Years Open, there are five dancers competing for a trophy donated by Mary McElroy.

In the 14 Years & Under Open, three dancers are competing for The Parker Family Trophy.

In the 16 Years & Under Open, there are 13 dancers competing The Petelczyc Family.

In the 18 Years & Under Open, there are six dancers competing for a trophy donated by the Cunich Family.

In the 19 Years & Over Open, there are six dancers competing for the Stephen Pearce Memorial Cup.

Welcome to the Feil Tir An Oir!!

This weekend, we are in the ACT with the Feis held at Dickson College.  Canberra is cold and windy today, even though the politicians are not here, but out hustling for votes.  Today's program is as follows:

1430 13 & over Elementary and Intermediate, 13 & 14 Open
1600 15 & over Open

The adjudicator is Breeda Pierce ADCRG (QLD).
