Saturday 5-16-09...Applause Talent Competition

Today we went to Katy for the Applause competition. Emma performed her solo at 9am and her group at 1:40pm. She placed platinum first place and first place overall for her solo. She also won "Most Photogenic". It was exciting and she was totally surprised. Best of all she won another trophy!!! It's all about the trophy! The group performed and I must say this was their best performance so far this year. A storm blew in and threw a kink into the remaining competition. There were about 5 entries remaining when the lights went out. So, they gave out awards for those whose scores had already been calculated. Whew...because we had been there since 7am that morning and it was already 5:30pm. I couldn't bear to have to go back the next day just for awards. We were spared!!!! Group won High Gold and First place overall....whoo hoo!!!! We have such an awesome group of dancers.
