Thank you to those parents who have already submitted scans of their professional action photos; I am compiling a blog post with those photos and would welcome any further additions from other parents. Please e-mail at the highest resolution possible.

Many thanks to Cheryl for submitting these great photos taken on Friday November 9 at the Oireachtas. Cheryl will be posting these photos and more on her own website, likely later next week. (There is a direct link in the sidebar at right; see "Website Links: Alphabetical List").

NPIDA Ceili team members: Cheryl did get a few more "podium shots" during the Ceili award presentations on Friday night but it was impossible to crop out dancers from other schools without also cropping some NPIDA dancers. Those photos will all be available on Cheryl's website. (I haven't posted them here on the blog in accordance with our policy to respect the privacy of non-NPIDA individuals).

Today is the final day for dancers to submit their Oireachtas photos to the contest! Please email your photos to pickettlineblogAThotmail.com Thanks to those who have already sent in their photos!
