Trick fiddling has been a part of our act since the first year.  We started with clogging and playing the fiddle at the same time as seen above in the last picture and added two people playing the same fiddle to the act soon thereafter as seen in the second picture, above. We have different variations of this routine depending on the heights of the students involved. One year (not pictured) there was a 7 year age difference in the students performing this stunt, and the smallest one wound up standing on a box to reach the fiddle.
