Sam & Audrey Get Married

This past Memorial Day weekend the Hollywood Four traveled to High Point, NC to celebrate Sam & Audrey's wedding day. Along the way, we stopped in Charleston, WV for a West Virginia Power minor league baseball game; and then dad went to a Greensboro Grasshoppers minor league baseball game the next night. Of course, the highlight of the weekend was the wedding on Sunday. Here are some photographic highlights from the weekend's festivities.

O'Hare Year-End Dance Revue

I am little tardy posting this, but here is some footage of the O'Hare School of Irish Dance - Ohio year-end dance revue that took place a couple weeks ago (footage from Karen).

Abby Going to Ireland?

This past week I was surprised to learn that Abby, on her own and unbeknownst to me or Karen, submitted an application and video reel to an Ireland-based dance camp/musical show production called "Take The Floor." Take The Floor, in association with Riverdance, is a dance show that brings together 60 Irish dancers from across the world, a popular traditional band called Beoga, and a creative dance/choreography team for 10 days of intense show rehearsal, and 5 days of live show performances at The Helix in Dublin, Ireland. Anyways, Abby told us about her application because she, and two of her dancing friends, received acceptance to the school/show (one of them did it last year). Apparently there were 500 applicants this year from around the world (and at least one of her dancing friends was not accepted, unfortunately). We still need to look into the program a bit more, and check on flight costs, but it seems like an opportunity for a great, lifetime experience for Abby. Here is a short trailer for last year's show, as well as clip below it of the actual performance.
