Footloose Day 2

So we start off another early morning with "Name Game" and the girls came in 3rd out of 5 with a High Silver! Then we had "Its Raining Men" who came in 4th with a Silver -- they so deserved higher, but i'm not the judge so whatever.
Then was Amara's Jazz Solo "Born To Be Wild". She only got a High Silver for this one, but she did an awesome job! Then she had like 12 numbers to change for her lyrical solo "Foolish Games" for that she got 4th place Gold. And Amara was also nominated to the EXTREME TEAM!! YAY AMARA!!
Then was Rebecca's "Nothing" for which she got a Silver, again not a silver performance, but i swear these judges did NOT know what Musical Theatre was! After Rebecca was "Hot Stuff". The little ones came in 3rd with a High Silver! Then it was time for the tap "Boogaloo" they came in 4th with a High Silver as well.
"Crabbukkit" was next, they did an awesome job! Cleaner than Collingwood, but not as fun ;) They got 1st place Platinum. They also got 3rd Overall High Score Senior Large Group!! Next was "My Perogative" who got 5th place High Silver. And Because We Can was right after, they got 4th place High Silver. Now of course with Because We Can there was an incident....of course it couldn't go smoothly. The girls did an awesome job, but one of them threw up on stage in the middle of the dance! Now granted most people would have freaked out and ran off, but she kept going. Unfortunatly for the other girls they had to ROLL around in her puke! And poor Matt had to clean it up, but what can u do? This is now refered to as "the Fruit Incident" lol.
After all that fun, Amara, Yara, Danielle, Katie & I piled into the car and drove over to Stage 1 to see Mike again. This time we came bearing a Card for him that all the little ones signed. The girls got to show him their "Go Mike" dance and even though we only had like 10 minutes with him, everyone left happy -- at least i'd like to think! After which we were all hungry so we headed to Pizza Hut! Oh my, why i put myself in these positions i'll never know, but we nearly busted a gut while we were eating cuz we were all really tired and goofy, but it was fun :)
All in all i think it was a good weekend, it was great to see Mike since I didn't think i was going to see him at all! And the girls are trying to get him to come to the recital now which should be interesting :) thats it for now.

till next time...
