Darby did her test for her Black Belt recommended. She did really well. We are really proud of her. The testing was held at a local high school gym. It was pretty hot and stuffy. Lighting wasn't very good, so these are the pics that I was able to get clear. Anyway, it seemed like everyone
that was testing did well. The students had to perform a few forms. It was a large group, 3 schools combined for the testing - all Petitto's schools. Students were testing from Black Belt (rec) all the way to 3rd degree. It was nice. There was a candlelight and tea ceremony for the students that earned a degree.Here she is getting her new belt.
The instructors tie the old belt that is known as the 'belt of accomplishment'. Miss Connelly is the head instructor from the Glouster school. She tied on Darby's new belt.
YEAH!!!
Testing is all done. She is sooo proud and happy.
We went to dinner to celebrate. She decided on Chinese food. Hey, it was her choice! Some of her friends came to watch and support her. Her friend Casey came to dinner with us. He is a sweet kid. He picks at his food just like Darby. It was very funny and cute. No wonder they get along so well, they are just like each other! It was a nice ending for the day.
