Virginia day 13
Today was our last performance at the Tattoo. Although we are sad to be ending this amazing experience, we are all happy to be going back home.
It has been an amazing day, starting with a sleep in and walk along the beach, then our final performance at 2:30, ending the day with a team dinner and award ceremony!
Our final performance went by extremely fast, then it was time to say goodbye and leave the arena for the last time. We are all sad to say goodbye to the many new friends we have made from varying nationalities (such as korea, Italy, America.....) who we have shared this amazing opportunity with.
Now all that’s left is for us to pack our bag and prepare for the long journey home!
Over & out!!

Virginia Tattoo day 12
Hello,
It was Mhairi Mclarin’s birthday today! We had an early wakening for our 3rd and final morning show to the school kids. Each time we perform together our dances improve. This was a great show and we had lots of loud applauses and cheering! The children got really involved and turned their phone flashlights on during our Here’s to the Heroes performance. This was really enjoyable to see the students having a good time and getting involved. The second group of dancers headed to Little Creek Elementary school for our second school showcase. The kids loved our performances. We performed blood on the loch, rhythm and blue, Seann tribuhas, reel ‘O’ Tulloch and the fling. It was super cool to interact with them and we saw many future highland dancing stars in the crowd! Our second Hullabaloo and evening show were successful. It’s fun to meet and greet with lots of different people and it feels like we’re super famous by all the autographs and photos we have been asked for!! We ended the night with Mhari’s delicious birthday cake! We are all shattered but we get a sleep in on Saturday morning meaning we will be extremely refreshed and roaring ready for our second to last show! We also need energy for just a wee bit of shopping! 😉
Cheers,
Bella Rose and Evelyn Clarke
