Thank You Ceili Slide Show Photographers!


At NPIDA's 16th annual Ceili/year-end show tomorrow, we will be screening the annual slide show! The 2015 slide show includes photos from NPIDA parents (and a few dancers) - all of whom submitted photos to the Pickett Line Blog throughout the past year. Many photos taken by Cheryl and I are also included.

In selecting photos for the slide show, I reviewed hundreds of photos taken at 2014-2015 feiseanna and major competitions (Oireachtas, Worlds and North American Championships), as well as Eire Born shows, summer dock shows, St. Pat's shows, NPIDA events such as the Halloween Movie Night, and much more!

Our primary goal when creating the slide show is to include as many NPIDA dancers as possible (no small feat with a school this size!) This past year we had a large number of dancers attending the North American Championships, Oireachtas and Worlds - and therefore even more photos to choose from! We regret that there were many lovely photos that we could not include within our time limit.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone whose photos are part of the 2015 slide show; your contributions are greatly appreciated!! In particular, we are very grateful to the following individuals who consistently contribute their photos to share on the blog throughout the year; many of the beautiful photos in the 2015 Ceili slide show were taken by them:
 
Leanne, Gillian, Nicole, 
Jennifer, Connie and Nora.
Thank you ladies!
 
We hope you enjoy the 2015 slide show!
- Moira and Cheryl
