This past Thursday Abby and I drove to Chicago so that she could compete in the 2010 Mid-America Oireachtas competition on Friday. She danced a Hornpipe and a Reel and did good, but unfortunately she did not "recall" (girls who place at the top get recalled to dance another Set dance); but we still had fun any ways. I guess Abby finished 70th out of 120 girls or so meaning she just missed out on the recall (normally top 50%). It probably didn't help that she got kicked by another girl while she was her Reel dance. Here are a few low-quality highlight clips we took with Abby's digital camera (not of the actual dances, however, which is forbidden).
