Cool, Slightly Terrifying News

I know, I disappear for ages, and then I post a ton in two days. But I got some cool news yesterday.

My musical form has been picked for the Black Belt Spectacular!

What that means in practical terms is I get to perform the form I choreographed in front of about 300 people.

Cool! And more than a little terrifying. And also, a huge honour. There were 24 of us doing black belts this year, from 14 first degrees to 3 fourth degrees, and there were about 10 of us picked to perform at the Spectacular. Really, they could have picked any of us; everyone's forms were great.

I think I got through by picking music that wasn't contemporary pop (I used the theme song from Once Upon a Time in China) and having a cool costume (black silk jacket with gold Chinese characters, flippy little black skirt and black leggings with gold laces up the side).

It's great that my friends and family will get to see me perform, even as I'm feeling the butterflies begin to develop.

I think Markie would totally approve of the outfit. (There's a reason he's my fave, and his quirky fashion sense is a big part of it.) I think we could use the chess warriors from the Progress Kidz number. *g*
