CAITLIN'S JUNIOR CONVENTION

In early November Caitlin went for several days to her Regional Junior Convention.  She entered many categories of competition.  One of them was for sewing and below you can see the skirt she made from scratch.  This was her first one she's made in which the back is designed to hang lower than the front and Caitlin and mommy had quite a time of getting it just right.  Another was the science project she had from the science fair held the week prior at school. 

Rankings were by #'s for elimination events and levels for all others.  Superior is for the highest ranking and then Outstanding and then Exceptional.  Basically a 1st through 3rd place.

Here are her results / placement:

Computer altered photo     - N/A (we couldn't get this finished due to the Flu and Pneumonia)
Piano Solo                       - Superior & COMMAND PERFORMANCE
Chimette Choir                 - Outstanding
Chess                              - 5th
Checkers                         - 4th
Soccer Kick                     - 1st (Girls) - she always brings up that only one boy kicked at
                                                           a farther distance into the goal / target
Sewing (Dresses / Outfits) - Superior
Science Project                 - Superior
Volleyball (co-ed)               - 1st
Choir (Large Ensemble)      - Superior
Painting (Watercolor)         - Superior


Caitlin won a COMMAND PERFORMANCE for her piano solo.  This is a step above the top ranking in that it brought special attention to her efforts.  This is given for the performance that if all the hundreds of competitors could be there for just one performance event ... this is the one the judges say you should make it to.  This selected her to perform at an evening rally in front of the entire convention.

SUPER PROUD OF HER!!! GO GO GO!!!
