This year the City of Victoria decided to add one more event to the calendar of holiday activities in Spirit (Centennial) Square - The First Annual Figgy Pudding Carolling Competition. Note - Seattle is celebrating their 24th Figgy Pudding competition this year - the Great Figgy Pudding Street Corner Caroling Competition.
I posted a notice about the competition on Twitter, and some "tweeps" indicated an interest! Together @JanineAnnT @VIHippieChick @jagamer @lacouvee formed a team. @Cabin12Victoria was kind enough to provide space for our unique rehearsal.
We discussed costumes! Of course it had to be Twitter bird related. Janine and AJ @VIHippieChick worked hard on outfitting us for our performance. Saturday December 4th saw us singing away as "The Tweets" outside the Bay Centre. In all, twelve groups competed for prizes in:- Large Group or Choir (5 or more)
- Small Group (4 or less)
- Local Business or Organization (any size group)
- Best Dressed Group
Local celebrity judges included music teachers, performers, politicians and prominent business people.
It was great fun and we'll definitely repeat it again next year. Hopefully other #yyj twitterers will be willing to join us!
