My daughter is auditioning in the next few weeks to be in a cohort of dancers performing at the 2012 opening ceremony. I shall report back on her progress!

OOhI could do an entry about opening ceremonies couldn't I? The strange conventions, the history of them, the utterly bizarre ones in the past.
