congratulations nominees and winners - Taekwondo banquet night

Last night was almost as big as the oscars with everyone coming out in full regalia.  There were 600 people in attendance at the yearly TKD banquet to enjoy good food, celebrate each others success and dance dance dance to the  music.

Billy was nominated for Jr Leader of the Year and Jr Male Student of theYear. He looked sharp in his bow tie/sweater combo and was excited to show off his moves ons the dance floor.

The kids had a table to themselves and it was fun to catch up with the adults when weren't hectic form running around or sweaty from class.  The kids were really well behaved!
