The big weekend has come and gone, and I've survived. Friday and Saturday was the NDADD State Dance Team Championship at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. Overall, it was a success. It's a weird feeling that the event we've been planning for and thinking about since last January is done. I spent the weekend working mostly in crisis-management mode handling details like 1) Where can the Demonettes store their personal stuff because their bus broke down and they had to unload everything? or 2) How can the exhibition teams get in because they all were given the wrong color admission wristbands? or 3) Where are the individual medals for the champion teams? All this on very little sleep and with the constant thump of dance music booming through the building. I was so totally immersed in it that it took until tonight for me to feel like I am back in my real life.
Not to complain too much. This is also a FUN weekend. I get to see my dance team friends and see some terrific dancing. Here are some pictures.

I had a lot of fun with my roommate, Marcy. However, I think that's the last time I room with the treasurer, what with all the money counting until the wee hours.
Marcy and I had the job of sweeping the floor every so often. To protect the floor from damage, we ran to Old Navy and bought slippers to wear. Hers had cupcakes on them and mine were red.
I got to sit at the music table next to these guys all weekend. Butch is the music man, and Dave is our awesome M.C. They make us sound good.

Dave teaches senior English at Fargo North High. Before that, he taught at Fargo South.
Either the photo of the Saintiques didn't quite make it or my optic nerve has removed the image to avoid high school flashbacks...
