Kirstin's BBM Scholarship Report

On Monday night just passed Kirstin had to present her report to the NSWSCHDInc regarding her trip to Scotland last year. Kirstin has permitted me to put her speech up on our blog. Thanks K. I have always dreamed of dancing in Scotland. One of my long term goals has always been to dance in the country in which Highland Dancing originates. Until August last year, that is all it was for me, a dream and a hope that someday it would happen. Without the help of the BBM Scholarship that might still have been the case. On the 4th of September 2008 I received a much anticipated email from OzScot Australia, informing me that I had been accepted as 1 of the 45 dancers to represent Australia in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2009.

St Andrews Day Christmas Party

In the first bracket they did a Highland Fling Trio, then Darcy did her Pas de Basques and Highcuts, Connor did the Flora, Ashley did the Blue Bonnets, Darcy did Pas de Basques and Ashley finished the set with the Village Maid. The Village Maid went down a treat, I used Dougies music 'Good Times With The Wilson' which has a beautiful Village Maid track that plays Waltzing Matilda for the last two steps. The audience sang along! After a yummy dessert we moved along to the second bracket. Darcy opened the event with the Sword Dance - very good awe aspect to have a tiny girl doing the Gillie Callium over swords bigger than she is! Then Connor did the Seann Triubhas in his tartan jeans, Ashley did the Scotch Measure, Darcy did the Lilt and Connor finished up the nigh
