Time to blog it ... so much has happened

Well, we are more than up and running. The 2012 team is well on its way to tournament readiness, which is a good thing as we are down to 6 weeks. Since late October we've been building like crazy and are now we are staring down the events, trying to find what "fits" and feels "right". On Dec 8th we performed for an audience for the first time - at a Tri-City XNight in Erin - what a start it was. A "wild" team I believe we were called. We'll head off to London for our second XNight on Feb 15th and are confident that they growth we've felt will show.
There's lots coming up - performances here at GSS, a breakfast fundraiser, a whole wack of pics, as well as tournament fun...stay tuned. The blog is back.

And we're back

The new CIG season is fast approaching. Katie Bowes is at the helm, the volunteers are getting organized, and there are already dates in place for the first round of team training. All that's left is the building of the 2011-2012 teams.
For us here at Grimsby, Round One of auditions are over, two more rounds await us. Be brave, be bold, be generous...the rest is an unknown.
Stay tuned...

Pretty cool.

We have come together...

At the beginning of every night of play, at every tournament Canada wide, an oath is said. It begins with "We have come together...". For those of us who spend time in the CIG world, as players, coaches, judges, referees, family, and die hard fans, these words ring in our heads for ever. It is why we do what we do. Yes, it's a competition (the next line is "In the spirit of loving competition"); there are scores, and ultimately a winner, but it truly is about coming together. It's a really difficult thing to explain to anyone who watches it from the outside. Trying to explain it now, after spending a full week in Ottawa, is next to impossible.

The facts are we had a strong night of play but 10 other teams had a stronger one. We ended the week in 11th (tied for 11th actually). Do not read any emotion into this. This is a mere fact. We have, however, come home with a tangible memory - read as much emotion into this as you wish. Kenny was awarded the Johnson Heart Award. Far too detailed to mention here but needless to say, this is an honour about which Kenny and the entire team are beyond proud. It is only awarded once every year at Nationals. Awesome.

Despite the fact that this pic was taken at Regionals, it says everything else that needs to be said. Pride wins (because Love isn't one of the 7:) .

Although the competitive season is over, the Improv love continues. Stay tuned.

Ottawa fun!!

No one can ever say that this team doesn't have fun together... on the stage and off.

Still 2 nights of shows...last night of Round Robin and the FINALS tomorrow night. Currently in 8th and so proud of our week here. Making our mark on Nationals, building crazy friendships and learning something new every time we take a breath.

With birthdays and craziness we never get enough of each other.
