Cool, Slightly Terrifying News

[przed]

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).

Wow. Well done, you! That's absolutely wonderful...and I can see why it is terrifying as well. *g* But, go you! You'll be splendid, I know. (How can you fail to be, given that costume? *g*) *cheers you on*

Aw yay, that's awesome! Well done you! That seems a fitting reward for all the hard work ♥

I bet Markie would approve of that outfit. He might ask where the giant elephant can appear though... *g*

Given the whole performing in front of 300 people thing, I would have been quite happy not to get picked, but it's nice that I was. I'm totally going to let the costume do the work. *g*

Fingers crossed!

The costume helped. *g*

Thank you!

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*

Yikes, indeed! I'm totally going to let the costume do the work. *g*

Don't forget us when you're famous! :P

I'll try not to let it go to my head.

Or, more likely, try not to fall on my head. *g*
