Subject: Feis Fees
Author: DanceMom	[ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:10:50 05/27/23 Sat Why is there a $30 Family fee for one feis. That is crazy if you have one dancer. No wonder entries are down- it is way too expensive. [ Next Thread \| Previous Thread \| Next Message \| Previous Message ]

[> Subject: We have cut back by 75%. Feis fees higher, family fee, feis tabulation fee- all way too high

[> Subject: Feisin Less
Author: ID Parent [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:06:27 06/01/23 Thu Have cut WAY down on our feising. Two OCs are over $150 for entry and that doesn't take into account any additional costs. NE region in trouble. Numbers way down, Feisanna being canceled. The powers that be need to come together to come up with a solution. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: I would have complained about this too until I ran a feis. I was SHOCKED at how expense they are to run. It's a feedback loop. Fees go up because entries are down, entries stay down because fees go up.

[> [> Subject: Agree. I always assume the people I see complaining on Voy have never run a feis.

[> [> [> Subject: Schools need to get together- make 1 bigger double weekend feis and share the cost
Author: TRW [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:51:53 06/05/23 Mon It makes it so one school isn’t solely responsible and if you can make an amazing theme weekend feis people would rather attend one well attended, hyped up feis rather than a small one struggling to make numbers [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: I think it should be mandatory that each school either hosts or co-hosts a feis each year. It's a lot of work and expense. Some schools are just freeloaders, happy to go feis but not willing to put in the work the rest of us are doing.

[> Subject: Are OSC & DBA associated? Or are two different schools working together?

[> [> Subject: The Boyles (the B of DBA) were students of OSC as kids. Natural that the two schools are close/friendly but definitely not the same school.
