BEAR LAKE

We had a dance competition in Bear Lake a couple weeks ago. The girls did AMAZING!! Our team has 4 different groups. Each group has their own dance and then they do a big dance with the whole team called a show. The show is usually about 8 minutes long.

















This dance is Madi's NERD dance. It's HILLARIOUS!! I will have to post video so you know what i'm talkin about!! :)







This one they dance to a song called "Bucky Done Gun." Never heard of it till this dance but it is AWESOME!! In this dance is Madi's group and then the oldest group.



















These next few pictures are of our Show Routine. This dance was based on Military. It was so so cool! They are in camo and there is a lot of stomping in this dance. The girls are super sharp so it looks AMAZING when they are perfoming. The 2 older groups begin the show dancing to Another One Bites the Dust.
Then they go off and the 2 younger groups come on and dance to Toy Soldier.












































This is the ending pose!! I apologize for the blurry pictures. My camera doesn't do well with the lighting in the gyms. Not sure why.


































Our team has a totaly of 6 dances. At this competition the girls took 5 1st places and a 2nd. They also got best choreography. This competition did something way cool. In the programs they had a page for you as an audience member to choose your favorite dance from the whole day and write it on this page and turn it in. When they did the awards, they gave and Audience Choice. Our team won Audience Choice for our Show!! The girls were super excited!! Then, our team also took Over All Champions!! We were so excited. This was our first year doing this competition and they did so well!! So proud of them. Next we are off to Lagoon!! :)

ORCHESTRA CONCERT



Madi had her end of the year Orchestra concert last week. She decided she was going to play the violin this year. I was nervous because she had never done it before and I couldn't put her in lessons right now. But she has done AMAZING just from what she has learned at school. She is excited to do it again next year.


They have done a few concerts this year. It has been fun to go and listen to how much they have improved each time. This last concert they played a couple of familiar songs. One of them was Pacabell's Canon, very popular at Christmas. They did so good!! And another one, it was actually there little grand finale song, they combined with the 7th and 8th grade Orchestra and then the choir sang, but the song was "Hey Soul Sister." It was SOOOO AWESOME!!!


We are so proud of her!! :)
