With the best of intentions, we had hoped this blog would be written by our families. Alas, the year has gotten away from us without our very first post. We all know how busy we get. So I'm going to share one of my favorite feis memories of the year... I think all of us will remember the ROI feis for one very special reason. This was the feis that one of our dancers won her prelim but she couldn't stay for awards. Her father was the brave soul who went on stage to accept for his daughter and to the crowd's chants, he reluctantly took the podium and wore the sash. There were cheers and tears as the crowd went wild, especially the Inis Cairde dancers who were so happy to support their fellow dancer. It's just not always about winning.
