There are 13 of us in the Vickis' hotel room celebrating Accolade being placed 29th in the Quartet semi-Finals. There were screams of joy when we got the news, and the nice ladies next door had to come by in their pyjamas to ask us to stop (because they're competing in the chorus comp tomorrow), so now we're being excited in a muted kind of way with lots of ssssshing. Vicki says Accolade's score is the best of any Australian quartet, and they are all very happy with their performance and where they were places. Photos to follow.
James and Sarah had the news before we did, I think, because the scores were published on the SING group (All the quartets had to wait around for the scores to be tabulated and Accolade decided not to hang about as they wanted to party). Vicki S and Amanda made speeches, and thanked us for our support. They said it made a big difference to hear us in the audience chanting Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy. Vicki D is drinking vodka and declines to be quoted at this time. She has been laughing wickedly. since they got the news.
I think the girls are waiting unti they're alone to read the score sheets so I'm signing off for now. We are so proud of our girls.

Awesome result girls! Sure the highly vocal crowd support got you a few extra points too - there was no sign of nerves, just lots of energy & resonance yay! The ballad was amazing, & the uptune was great up to the stomp, which was when my webcast decided to cut out doh... but I'm sure that was as good as the rest! Oz Ads are all proud of you placing so high - what a coup for downunder! Now you can relax with a Deborah martini & enjoy the rest of the show! Special hugs to the 'PE & rowing teacher'!! Look forward to the celebrations on Wed. xxxx Steph
PS the chorus send their love, & some say sorry but they don't know how to blog!!
heheheheheeheehee (translation: Sarah is laughing at the report about Vicki D and Vodka, as well as james and Sarah's pre-empting...in a way...and recalling Sue Beck and Chris Notewares comments re: Accolade's bikinis on the webcast...)hehehehee
