ebonlockWell the People's Choice is over for another year and finally, finally Jewel of Opar took home the big trophy. Yep, we took number one in the troupe category in only our second year of competing. Go Jewels!
It was so funny watching the dancers as the announcements were made, they kept hearing names that weren't us and mentally recalculating how many other troupes were left in the competition. When second place was announced it was all I could do to stay in my seat. Aelf looked like she was going to spontaneously combust, right there in the community center. There was much screaming and rejoicing and jumping up and down, then pictures and hugging and great big grins. Our risky avante garde piece actually paid off, so much so that we had at least one audience member walk up and ask where we'd found such amazing music, then comment, "You guys made it very easy to vote for you." Hee.
Afterwards we had a little get together at S-'s where the exclamation "We won!" was shouted on more occasions then I can even remember. S- had brought along her karaoke game and we all joined in on a chorus of "We are the Champions", thus reminding ourselves why we're all dancers rather than singers ;)
I'm still on a bit of a buzz this morning, I like to think that the Sharks stomping the Preds 3-0 was a forecast of the good things to come in the competition. It was an all around wonderful, winning day and if I'm going to be saying goodbye to the Jewels for a while, this is the way to do it, on a high note. They were all just superb, and if you get a chance, stop by and congratulate![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aelfsciene, she put so much effort into this performance and deserves all the accolades possible.
