- they were not the best musicians (NT) -- so glad i didnt dance., 27/10/04 19:57
- These muicans had never played together before. They were meant to be playing by themselves. So, in between each song they were having to decide very quickly what they were going to play. I think they did very well under the circmstances. (NT) -- nsw dancer, 19/11/04 14:45

hey, just out of interest did anyone get there predictions right? this year i believe was the year for up and comers as many people improved significantly and taken places in the top ten and twenty. even though alot of people complained about the nsw nats i reckon no matter what you do no one is going to be completely satisfied so can people stop putting down nsw and look forward to qld. -- danca, 26/10/04 16:05 [6]

- How about you post yours and then someone can pass it on to Emily. I would prefer not to have someones email address posted on the board unless it is posted by them. Thanks (NT) -- Moderator, 24/10/04 21:46
- Stop putting messages like this on an open net board that anyone can read. This is Emily's business, not the world's. (NT) -- concerned parent that knows Emily., 27/10/04 6:44
  - No one has posted Emily's details so there is no need to be concerned. And if someone were to I would delete them straight away. Messages like this pop up all the time so it's best to ignore them if you don't like them. (NT) -- Moderator, 27/10/04 15:04

Cleanup time! -- Moderator, 9/11/04 17:17 [1]
In case you were wondering where alot of posts went I just did a total cleanup of the board. I got rid of multiple posts, anything with profanity in it and the general chatter that had no point. Some of it was borderline so I left it for now.

Please think carefully before you post. I expect the board will die down again over the coming months with everyone being busy with school or going on holidays and I don't mind some off topic chatter so long as it is kept clean. No profanity, no arguing and no personal attacks. Also think carefully before you do silly stuff like post and then respond to your own post etc etc.

hey all....
Just wanna say WELL DONE to all the NSW dancers for doing really well this year and i think that we put on a good show for the nats, even tho some boring people are complaining about the times etc. Dancing in NSW is at such a high standard and i think every NSW dancer should be congratulated for doing us all proud!

hey everyone! i found this poem on another chat room- I think this says it all! -- Dancer, 14/10/04 17:26 [3]
High above her, and high above she,
I know that the world is looking at me.

I�ve proven I�m her, the one you should watch.
Oh it took quite a while, but I�ve moved up a notch.

I defeated the odds; I proved the doubting they�re wrong.
And now I�m the one with the happiest song.

I�ve won the top place and I�m feeling the high,
Of the best spot to stand, while I smile and cry.

I look down at her, and I look down at she,
And a smile is nowhere, certainly not for me.

But that is ok, I don�t mind, I�m not mad.
I know while I stand here they cannot be glad.

For I dashed their one wish, that one dream, their great hope.
To be top of the game, while the other girls mope.

But I took it! I won that famed place on the box.
Where the winners all stand with the gait of a fox.

With beauty, with grace with the stunning of class,
Not one is as lovely while wearing this sash.

As I step down from high, my mind buzzes with joy.
Right now not even I can pretend to be coy.

I�m the best! I�m the best! I�m the true number one!
And right now I�m just thinking how it�s all so much fun.

All that sweat, all that pain, all those dues that I�ve paid.
Have finally cashed, and my day has been made.

But what about next time, when it all starts again?
Will I still be the girl with the happiest grin?

As everyone knows each day is a new,
And you may not be it! This is sad- but it�s true.

And I learned this too well, for I lost that top spot.
I didn�t maintain that one place that I sought.

I found myself standing just slightly beneath,
And feeling the sting as I gritted my teeth.

Another girl won. It was she, and not I.
And she showed off such triumph, such honor and pride.

I fought back a tear of frustration and pain,
For I missed the attention she now would attain.

I stood feeling small, with my face growing hot,
But I told myself firmly, a sore loser you�re not!

So I took a deep breath and I calmed myself down.
I would not be that girl on stage with a frown.

I forced out a smile, a hard task yes indeed.
And I kissed that girl�s cheek, the one in the lead.

It felt sort of nice, to acknowledge her win.
And she thanked me with grace, as if she was kin.

I wasn�t that girl, who would mope and be glum.
For then I�d be the one they�d all certainly shun.

For if I should find myself up there again,
They�d remember me now, and the state I was in.

I held a prize in my hand and for this I was glad.
Although I couldn�t help feeling just a little bit sad.

For I�d tasted that glory- the honor, and fame,
And now it was hers and I felt somewhat shamed.

Everyone stared and wished they were her,
When I had been that girl only moments before.

But I cast this aside, this sad bout of self-pity,
For I know for that right now she is queen of this city.

And why shouldn�t she be? She�s worked hard and it shows.
And she�s tasted a glory only some of us know.

I�m lucky to have this perspective I guess,
For many dancers always must settle for less.

I know what it�s like, to stand way up top.
And the feeling is great; it certainly rocks!

And if I�m never again to achieve that great high,
I will smile and think with a reminiscent sigh.

About the feeling of winning the number one place,
And the grin that I couldn�t wipe off of my face.

But I know that the thing that will be remembered most,
Is the kiss that I gave to the girl with the most.

When I was not best, not the top of the pack,
The audience knows that I acted with tact.

And this is the reward I will carry life long.
That to be a good sport is the prettiest song.

The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

haha sorry i had 2... i LOVE dan on aussie idol he is goin 2 win (ok come 2nd 2 ANTHONY) but dan is so cute (he looked better with his hair straightened but! I LOVE YOU DAN!!

Thank you from the NSW Australian Committee -- Charmaine May, 4/10/04 15:06 [1]
On behalf of the Australian Irish Dancing Association I would like to thank all the volunteer parents & teachers who gave up all or part of their time over the past 4 days of the Australian Championships. We are a non-profit organisation so therefore rely 100% on volunteers (both teachers and parents) which is why we can keep both admission costs and entry fees down so low. There were many parents who were there from 6am until close every day along with the teachers. I was impressed with their graciousness and the great care they were taking with their jobs. You do not know how greatful we are!
It seemed that everyone had a great time at the Ceili on Sunday night! Good on you, kids! You deserved to let your hair down. A big thank you to the mums who helped to take the money at the door. You, also, were wonderful and gracious. Thank goodness for people like you. Our children have a great future with you as their example. Once I scrape myself off the floor (where I'll be for a few days with exhaustion) I'll try and post the pictures I took at the Ceili on a website (if not ask your teacher to request a photo CD from me). Thanks to Jackie Miller from SA and Pria from Victoria for helping us all to have so much fun.
Also, thank you to those parents and teachers from interstate and NSW who complimented us on the Championships. We appreciated your lovely comments, good wishes and support.
We are certainly looking forward to next year's Australian Championships in QLD. Put us on the volunteer list. We know how much help you need!
