Thank you for your patience while I sort through and edit the hundreds of photos I took during the show on Saturday at Centennial Theatre. Check back here over the next few days for more photos of the performances, as well as the scholarship and award presentations. 

Congratulations to Nora, Courtney, all the volunteer crew and of course the NPIDA dancers for a fabulous year-end performance!

Thanks to our Slide Show Photo Contributors

Today at the 12th annual NPIDA Celtic Celebration/Year-End Show we will be screening the annual slide show, put together by Cheryl G and I. We are particularly excited about the slide show this year because it includes photos from more NPIDA parents than ever - all of whom submitted photos to the Pickett Line Blog throughout this past year. In narrowing down photos for the 2010-2011 slide show, I reviewed more than 750 e-mails/photos from parents, taken during this past year at various NPIDA events, competitions, Eire Born shows, etc. (That's in addition to the hundreds {thousands?!} of our own photos that Cheryl and I reviewed for the slide show).

We would like to thank everyone whose photos are a part of the slide show; your contributions are greatly appreciated! In particular, we are grateful to these individuals: Jennifer R, Sue M, Connie G, Gillian S, Christine B, Leanne A, Nicole D, Rosalie D, Andrea C, Cathy W, Courtney R and Nora P.

Last year on the May long weekend, NPIDA dancers going to the 2010 North American Championships performed at the Steveston docks as a fundraiser. Following the success of that event, the 2011 NPIDA Nationals dancers are planning a repeat. Come on down to the docks on Monday May 23 (Victoria Day holiday) and support the dancers! They will be performing at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00.

Dancers who are qualified for the 2011 North American Championships but are not planning to go to Nashville are also welcome to come dance at the dock shows on Monday. If you have any questions, please contact Sue M (Jadyn's mom).

More Rehearsal Photos

Here are a few more previews of what you will see during the performances on Saturday! The show begins at 2:00 sharp with opening remarks from Nora and the annual slide show, immediately followed by the dancing. There will be a 20-minute intermission immediately following the NPIDA and EBIDS scholarship and award presentations. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
