Brenda and I just got back from our second Ice Chips show of the day. There were lots of little kids skating in the first half and then the big name skaters came at the very end. Miki Ando had a rough go at it during the first show. She either popped or fell on every jump. Her second show was much better!
Loren Galler-Rabinowitz and David Mitchell performed as well. They had a little misstep in the second show and ended up falling on top of each other before the actual ending...which ironically they do fall on top of each other
Michael Weiss did what Michael Weiss does...aka the "tornado/Mike Pike", a backflip, and he used his freedom blades. He skated his "Centerfold" program and his patriotic program...I think its his long.
Scott Smith skated to "Black Balloon" by the Goo Goo Dolls. He was great in both shows....landed everything and smiled throughout. He looked like he was having a good time.
Hilary Gibbons and Justin Pekarek also performed to Josh Groban's "You're Still You". It was a pretty performance and skated well. Hard to believe they're retiring.
And of course...saving the best for last: Katie Orscher and Garrett Lucash. They are wonderful!! They skated to a new exhibition program to "Air" by Bach...the techno version. They had some new moves in there as well and they wowed the crowd!! They also donned Red Sox shirts and Katie had on a Red Sox hat for their part in the finale. Considering the show was in Boston, they know how to work a crowd. In the second show, Katie fell on the throw. She looked like she had it and then the next minute she was sitting down. It's ok...we love her anyway
One of Katie and Garrett's new moves...
More photos will come soon from Brenda!
