Hello from St. Louis! We are here for a double feis weekend and day one went very well for Chris. He danced in three dances today. He earned a fourth place in novice hornpipes, a fourth place in prizewinner reel and (drumroll) a first place in novice treble jig! This last placement means he moves up to prizewinner treble jig (which he can enter at tomorrow's feis). And most importantly to him, when you have two of your dances in the prizewinner category, you get a solo vest (or solo dress if you are a girl). If you are not familiar with the "solos" think bling, bling, bling, bright and fun colors and a slight dent in your wallet. Anyway, we are so proud of our boy! This is only his third feis and he has moved his dances up quickly. Here he is after getting his medal for the treble jig. So excited, he couldn't keep his eyes open!
Since we are becoming more experienced feis parents (lol), we don't always record every single one of Christopher's dances. I did record the hornpipes though so here it is...
More feising to be done tomorrow! Tomorrow is a blackout feis, which means the kids can kind of "dress down" for it. The girls don't have to wear the crazy wigs and fancy dresses and Chris and other boys from his school will simply wear black button down shirts with black pants. More updates tomorrow when we return to KC!
