Weekend Summary

Saturday:

I had to miss "town's" St. Patrick's Day parade with my main dance group. I hated missing it, but I hear it went real well. I did join many of them briefly for the after-parade party.

It was thee best "Big Show" ever, and I've seen them all! It's priceless, really, to see them all onstage, as professionals, looking awesome and having a good time. As TCRG Ma said, "The kids were on fire." Too bad that this particular show was not taped; oh well. That's the beauty of a live production.

Sunday:

It did rain on "the" parade, but did it dampen spirits? Heck no! M's Irish stepdance school could only obtain one flatbed / float for this year, but, M still made the cut. The TCRG's decided to base it on who'd performed at the most gigs this past year. M was thrilled, and it showed in her face. They donned their solo dresses, then as the drizzle turned to rain, they changed back out of their solo dresses, into dance-school logo'd attire. The crowd was less, but these were the die-hards. A Baltimore television station zoomed in on their hardshoe dancing on the float, people would bring out their cameras, point out the dancers to their young children, and smile and clap and sometimes try to dance along. It's a really great and exciting feeling, and I'm SOO glad M's on a better asthma management plan this year, so it all worked out well.
