- "Imagine" - Unknown (Sorry!)
- "Stranger" - Active Child
- "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Lorde

So yeah, we didn't win much. But I'm proud of the way we did. Our group's average age is 13, and we beat groups who's average age was 16 and 17. The groups we competed against danced an average of 30 hours a week and are homeschooled. Most girls in my group dance 11 hours a week and are straight A students and we beat those girls. Everyone performed great and I am so happy with our results. It's not about winning. It's about doing what we love and getting a great experience.
So anyway, we had a four hour rehearsal on Friday at Calabasas High School. This was a stage rehearsal for all the younger kids who have not performed on stage yet, but the older kids (like me) had to come to set a good example and for the extra rehearsal time. I got back home from school at 3:30, had to eat, put on my costume, do my hair, and get there by 4:30. It actually started at 4:00, but I was the 12th number so I had time to spare. I got there and had one of my friends do my makeup so it would be done faster. The younger kids took almost two hours before they were done, so I didn't go until almost six. But after that I just sat and cheered on the younger kids. So that was about it!
Thanks for reading!
