A real shame it's on the busiest show weekend of the year. Need the money to go to Worlds so will have to pass up feis. Very disapointing! (NT) -- :(, 11:29:04 11/13/09 Fri Agreed. I think, unfortunately, the committee will take a hit on this one. (NT) -- Not too late to change!, 13:00:59 11/13/09 Fri will you have a website up for this event, like last year?

Subject: Thank you
Author: Dancer [Edit]	Date Posted: 13:15:21 11/15/09 Sun I just wanted to thank Ms. Irene Horgan for helping me out when I needed it. At the feis today, I accidentally collided with another dancer and got hit in the stomach on the last step. The judges asked us to redance the last step, but needless to say, I was not feeling very well. The judges let us wait and Ms. Horgan sat down next to me. She fanned me and offered me water. I just wanted to thank her for caring so much. This is another reason that I love the Horgan feis. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

In the past it has been quite crowded but this is the first year in Prov so we don't know how big the room will be (NT) -- :-), 21:07:45 11/12/09 Thu Very crowded and very noisy. -- more, 03:44:02 11/13/09 Fri Usually, they will open up walls between ballrooms so it's one giant room. Expect wall-to-wall, shoulder to shoulder. If you have a younger child, I suggest you arrange a place to meet if you get separated. (NT) -- exciting but VERY chaotic!, 04:45:08 11/13/09 Fri It would be so much more bearable if dancers from one prominent school who sit together did not stand on the chairs and scream. Several of us who were seated in the row behind them actually suffered temporary hearing loss due to these girls. Also I was unable to see my own child get her trophy because of them. When some of us asked politely if they would sit down, we got dirty looks. When you are wearing your school's jacket, your behavior reflects on your TC. (NT) -- mom, 04:59:01 11/13/09 Fri I think everyone should just relax, expect excitement and realize how lucky your dancer is to be on stage. Half of their competitors won't get to go on stage or get an award. Let's not start complaining before the event even happens! (NT) -- think positive!, 05:30:34 11/13/09 Fri You're right, we should think positive and hope that everyone has a wonderful time, but the above poster has a point. Everyone should be able to see their child, and no one should be standing on chairs blocking everyone else's view. That is just plain rude under any circumstances. (NT) -- --, 05:53:35 11/13/09 Fri Maybe they can stand at the back, or along the wall? It's so hard not to stand and cheer, but it does get to be a real drag when you can't see a thing! (NT) -- I'm always on the wall - less annoyance, 06:47:39 11/13/09 Fri I literally could not even get in the room last year. (NT) -- really hoping Providence will be better, 07:33:54 11/13/09 Fri Ok so from what I gather, crowds are a combo of Times Square regular day (people just standing shoulder to shoulder, not moving) and Disney World in the summer with a couple Brazilian tour groups thrown in. I shall steel myself, while maintaining a positive attitude! Hmm, maybe I'll add a 'drop of the pure' in my coffee...LOL! (NT) -- Thanks everyone!, 07:51:39 11/13/09 Fri I repeat my suggestion somewhere below: Bring ear plugs! (NT) -- You'll need them, 13:51:16 11/13/09 Fri If the prominent school is who i think it is, WE usually try to sit in the back to the side, last few years mid to back left. and yes we sit together because we support all our kids no matter what night they dance. The girls get very excited and sometimes forget manners, I am sure if you asked again to sit or explain why they would respond. You cant fault a whole school for a few kids or parents. Yes it is louder with families sitting together but don't begrudge us for our support. (NT) -- have fun!!!, 03:27:09 11/14/09 Sat I don't object to you sitting together. I do object to these girls standing on chairs and screaming. I asked them politely, a minimum of 6 - 8 times, to sit down. All I got were nasty looks. One girl tried sheepishly to get the others to sit but when they wouldn't she gave up and joined them in standing on chairs. When my dd was onstage I asked them to sit and explained that I wanted to see her. They refused. The school mothers within earshot did nothing. These girls are a disgrace. (NT) -- mom, 07:18:53 11/14/09 Sat I have to agree. I don't mind big groups sitting together - we all do that - and even screaming beyond a reasonable level (hey, it's exciting!) - but standing on chairs is just plain rude and selfish. If kids haven't been taught any manners and won't even reply to a polite request to sit - it is UP TO PARENTS to control your kids. Honestly, how would you feel if these kids were in front of YOU? (NT) -- please teach kids simple manners. not rocket science. thank you!, 08:04:11 11/14/09 Sat I think the TC needs to have a talk with these dancers, who are wearing the TC's school jacket while misbehaving. Over the last few years some of us have developed a very negative impression of this school based upon the behavior of the dancers at the O awards year after year. (NT) -- me, 09:14:50 11/14/09 Sat Agree, they are incredibly rude. (NT) -- a dad, 11:49:51 11/14/09 Sat Yup I agree and it seems we all know who they are without even saying the name of the school (NT) -- ., 12:22:11 11/14/09 Sat I don't know what school you are talking about, but let's be positive! This is a new venue and may be set up differently. We just don't know yet. I think it is time to let the past stay in the past and move on. The O is next weekend-let's have fun, be respectful and stop complaining. (NT) -- let it go, 04:49:31 11/15/09 Sun We are trying to prevent this from happening again by bringing it up ahead of time. There is no venue that can compensate for dozens of screaming kids standing on chairs. If the TC would speak to these dancers ahead of time this annual problem could be avoided this year. (NT) -- sincerely hopeful, 08:05:07 11/15/09 Sun I understand your point, but since this appears to be an annual transgression, just saying move on from the past doesn't seem like it will solve the problem. I also don't think you would be this blase about it if you were the one sitting behind the group and you couldn't see your child. It's up to TC's and parents to insist on respectful behavior - old golden rule. No one is saying don't have fun, just don't act like you're the only person in the room that matters. Then everyone can have fun. (NT) -- --, 08:40:23 11/15/09 Sun

If it was combined, they should have said so., 19:53:57 11/13/09 Fri The syllabus clearly states different times for different age groups. (NT) -- They couldn't combine agegroups on Sunday., 18:21:38 11/13/09 Fri The syllabus lists only 3 judges and the schedule lists 2 age groups at one time. I'm assuming this means there will only be one stage and the two age groups are combined. Is this how everyone else reads it? (NT) -- Newbie 2, 19:24:38 11/13/09 Fri No, sometimes they have 2 groups line up and have each group do hardshoe first and then change shoes and do soft shoe, but the comps are judged separately. The groups are small sometimes and it avoids some delays while one group is changing shoes. (NT) -- hth, 19:56:14 11/13/09 Fri I really am praying that you are right.

Subject: “Champtrax” – a new CD from Mark Arrington. This has some unique features:
Author: Mark Arrington [Edit]	Date Posted: 14:22:35 11/12/09 Thu -The first 12 tracks are An Coimisiun championship length tunes played once, twice, and three times through, so a prelim/open dancer can practice their steps up to three times without stopping and still have a definite ending. If dancing in succession, the tunes change or end when the steps end. The last four tracks are “standard” long tracks of tunes like most feis CDs. -It’s very traditional, as in The Chieftains, Bothy Band, Altan, De Danann etc. -I play all the instruments except for the squeaky chair and the bark (see below). -I didn’t realize until the final mix that my dog Merry (bichon frise), makes an appearance in one of the tunes! The first person to find Merry will receive a free copy of my set dance CD “Kick It Up A Notch!” - Until the end of the year, you also get one free set dance when you order Champtrax! It’s available on my site www.markarringtonmusic.com. At a feis or the Oireachtas you can get it at Fay Shoes or Head for the Worlds. In a month or so it will be on iTunes.

(NT) -- --, 05:35:09 11/12/09 Thu what does that equal in US size? dd likes ghillies really tight, has worn reg. AP size 2.5 (NT) -- mom, 06:41:27 11/12/09 Thu Oh, these are tight which is why they are for sale! Unfortunately, I think they would be too big for your dd---mine wears anywhere from 8-8 1/2 US street shoes. (NT) -- --, 07:45:32 11/12/09 Thu I've ordered mine through Keilys.com. They are really nice, happy to do e-mail & phone business and ship quickly (in my experience) and take returns (minus shipping). It may be worth your while to order a couple of pairs and ship back those that don't fit. (NT) -- mom of jen, 20:09:48 11/12/09 Thu
