Sorry, we're having problems with the network and wireless isn't working in the arena this morning. I spent the 1st 2 groups trying to get things working with no luck. I'm going to watch the last 2 groups and write up notes and will post them between the dance & pairs. Hopefully we'll get things working before the pairs starts.
