Talent On Parade, Regional Competition

This was one crazy competition! Olivia's solo went on stage on Thursday afternoon around 2. That meant, I had to take off 1/2 day and get her out of school before lunch to start getting her dressed! She did a fantastic job, but the competition was so huge that she got 10th place over all (diamond elite award).



Then, she danced again on Saturday. Small group tap was that morning around 8:30. It looked pretty good. They got a diamond elite top first, came in 4th overall, and got a Dance Directive scholarship!

That evening, large groups went on. Soul Man went on first at 7:00. It looked awesome!

Then, Takin Care of Business went on...looked the best it has ever looked! Then, Falling Slowly went on--looking good as usual.



The weather was getting bad with tornadoes, and Liv had to be back up there early in the morning for duet, so we left to go home. I found out later about what they'd won. I believe that Soul Man won, Falling Slowly came in second, and Taking Care of Business came in 3rd...all with diamond elites.

The next morning, it was Love Shack. It came in second, received a diamond elite and a special judges award for Personality Plus!





We left there and went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch with the Brazil's and the Fletcher's. We were exhausted, and ready to see Bella! (she had spent the night with my mom...)
