OK, early morning for a lot of us who went out the night before. Had 9 am festival proba and blocking followed up by 2 hr rest period for lunch and a nap for myself. From 2:30 to 5:30 we had a run through of the show. Each group ran their piece in turn. We literally sat for that whole time and did nothing while we waited for our time. Some of us took another nap on the bleachers. The practice run went pretty well with 7 pairs. From about 5:30-6:30 we had free time, ate our bagged dinners, and waited some more. The show started sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 and again we waited around for our turn to go. It was very nice getting to watch all the other groups perform and several were extremely good and professional acts. Our piece felt pretty good. They never seem to be perfect but only very minor issues. The biggest draw back was only dancing seven pairs due to injuries and the sort time period allowed us. Meaning we had to cut the first two portions of our Jazz suite and of course those were the portions that everyone knew and could dance and where we could show 10 pairs. Ah well. The whole festival was televised. I think that only leaves me with 11 minutes of fame remaining. We've got one more big day tomorrow and then we're done. I for one am already looking forward to returning home and getting back into my happy routine. Polish food and particularly the soups are very good but I really miss hot sauce. Pani Iwona was nice enough to pick up some "Hot Chili Sauce," and give it to me and it's turned out to be as tangy as Hunt's manwich sauce, kind like a slightly spicy catchup. Air conditioning is going to feel AWESOME!
