Prima

Insight into this past weekend is brought to you by Kelsi Kelly, a second year member of SIG and the soloist in our show, the Prima Ballerina. She has also been a member of her high school color guard and plans to continue to study dance and color guard beyond high school. This is what she has to say about our second contest:

 

This competition weekend was amazing, I loved every second of it. From getting ready, to falling on my knee before the performance. We all had so much fun performing, hanging out with each other, and even helping another guard fold their floor out. Friday we had alot of fun rehearsing and eating pizza. We got to see some of Sasha's really cool tricks, then rehearsed some more. Saturday we woke, ate cinnamon rolls, and laughed most of the trip. On our way to Kickapoo Anna hit a gas can full of gas; that was a little scary. We got to Kickapoo, got dressed, then stretched and did across the floors in the hallway (that is when I injured my knee by falling). We went to warm-ups and then performed! It was amazingly fantastic I felt like it was our best performance so far because I tossed a 5 on my sabre solo and Ama tossed a 4 on her rifle solo. It was beautiful. After awards we stayed and watched Rolla. They were beautiful. Then after that we went to the mall and ran into Nate. It was so much fun! Afterwards we ate in the food court and after that we went home. When we got back to Angelica me, Caitlin, LK, and Jackie cleaned what needed done, we all loaded for Jackie and Caitlin's trip to St. Louis. Overall it was a great weekend and can't wait for next weekend and all the great rehearsal time!
