The youngest ketchman

Rehearsals day two and competition

This morning I woke up and had a quick shower, but put a shower cap on so my hair wouldn't get wet. After I dry my self off then pick out my clothes and get changed. I choose my Naomi black crop top and leggings. I then go through to Lilly's room where she does my hair. She does this cool bun and adds a red bow to match my ALDC red hoodie. After we both go for breakfast. We have pancakes and I have apple juice while Lilly has orange. Then we grab are dance bags and put our shoes on. Then we head to the studio.
My outfit ~~~~~

My hair

Once we arrive at the studio we say hi to miss gianna who is at the front desk then head into the den. I take if my shoes and grab my water before going into the studio. I say hi to all the girls then Hannah starts warm up. We also do a little bit of strength and conditioning. After are warm up I have tap before we start the group. Tap is one of my favourite classes and hopefully I can have a tap solo this season cause I have been working really hard. I'm in the same class as gianina since we are both quite advanced in tap. After tap class I have some chips before we go in for group.

"I'm excited for the group this week. I love musical theatre cause it's not about being serious, it's about having lots of fun" i say in my interview

"Okay so the group is musical theatre called the 7 dancers. It's musical theatre. Now it's inspired by snow who're and the seven dwarfs. You will all have a character. Hannah you will be stretchy, gianina you will be smiley, Presley you will be sassy, Sarah you will be shady, elliana you will be snobby, Lilliana you will be slouchy and Lila-rose you will be silly. Let's start" miss Abby says. The group dance is really fun but the music is kinda annoying. Once we have finished the group we all run the dancers before heading home. Once me mom and Lilly arrive home I have some dinner then we pack are suitcases with are costumes and make-up. Then I get ready and go to bed.

The next day ~~~~~

This morning I woke up super early and put my ALDC onesie on. I then make my bed before brushing my hair and putting it onto two bunches. After I have a quick breakfast. I have two granola bars and some water. After I pack my rucksack with any last minute things and put my shoes on. Then we head down to the car and go to the studio. Once we arrive at the studio I give my suit case to the bus driver and hop on the bus. I sit next to elli. We okay some games and watch James Charles on YouTube. Once we arrive at the competition we arrive with a bunch of fans waiting for us to get if the bus. We say hi to all of them and head to the dressing room.

When we get there we set up next to elli and yolanda divide we are doing are trio together. My mom helps Lilly with her hair while yolanda does mine. After me Lilly and elli all do are make-up. After miss Abby has talked to Hannah and gianina me Lilly and elli along with all the moms go into the audience while Sarah and Presley go backstage with Hannah and gianina. Once we go in the Audience they are just about near the end of Hannah and gianina section so we only watch a few numbers then it's gia.

"2nd in senior solo is miss gianina with it's all coming back. 1st in senior solo is miss Hannah with at last" yay Hannah won, but I'm still feel bad for gia since she lost.
