It’s true. There are a lot of schools in this region but only a few host. Other schools need to step up like the East Coast. Puts us at a disadvantage at Majors since we don’t have enough opportunities to compete. If we want to be competitive we need to be able to compete more -- Western U.S. Region Irish Dance 250192

In reply to: 's message, "It’s funny in a sad way that the parents from these schools are the ones that complain the most when they give nothing back to the community. Sad when there’s a school sending almost as many dancers as the hosting school who love to complain but refuse to host a feis." on 12:50:54 09/29/24 Sun

4 San Diego schools that could be 4 feises a year, how many in LA? Let's pull it together for the kids! (NT) -- No name (More needed), 07:37:21 09/30/24 Mon

There’s only one SD school that doesn’t host a feis (ignoring the sad fact that Hidden Valley had to cancel this year - I am sure they are looking to move to a more cost effective weekend) (NT) -- No name, 09:23:17 09/30/24 Mon

One San Diego school that sent 49 dancers to St Ambrose and the only school to not host anything. Also, wondering why some of the smaller LA and OC schools can’t work together to host. Meanwhile Claddagh puts on 2 every year! (NT) -- No name, 12:53:50 09/30/24 Mon
- I just hope with Hawaii Feis and Clan Rince Feis back to back that DP feis isn't also in February this time... (NT) -- Spread the love people, 14:04:23 09/30/24 Mon
  - Someone posted that the DP feis will be in June next year. (NT) -- No name, 17:51:28 10/07/24 Mon
- ...would you rather they not send those dancers? Schools aren't obligated to host a feis. (NT) -- No name, 14:19:05 09/30/24 Mon
  - No one is obligated to host a feis. No one is obligated to go to a feis. No one is obligated to schedule a feis at a certain time of year. But if you aren’t hosting and putting in the work, you need to stop complaining. I’m thankful to every single school and every single volunteer who put the time, effort and money into giving our dancers a chance to compete. (NT) -- No name, 23:31:39 09/30/24 Mon
    - Not to throw shade on feis hosts, and while I agree with your sentiment, -- Not AP, 10:14:40 10/01/24 Tue
- San Diego needs a summer feis! Lots of us would come down for that. (NT) -- Summer Rose Feis?, 14:23:16 09/30/24 Mon
  - I wish they would but I don’t think they will. I asked some of our friends who went there and they said that the parents want to but the teacher is against it. I know it’s heresy but we’ve been friends for years and I don’t think they would lie. I would love another chance to go visit San Diego, it’s one of my favorite cities. (NT) -- No name, 11:51:32 10/02/24 Wed
  - Probably very hard to find venue and enough hotel rooms during the summer season (NT) -- But it would be awesome, 12:49:28 10/03/24 Thu
  - DP’s feis will be June 21-22 next year (NT) -- No name, 13:06:07 10/07/24 Mon
    - Exciting that there will be a San Diego summer feis!! (NT) -- No name, 14:33:41 10/07/24 Mon
- Be considerate -- No name, 00:55:50 10/02/24 Wed
  - No one is negating the considerable time it takes to host a feis, what we have a problem with is how it is run. 7p awards is not acceptable. As someone pointed out already some of those dancers were up early for teams and they were exhausted. We ask that hosting schools do a better job of planning so these kinds of things don’t occur. It’s not like they don’t know how long each dance is and how many are dancing that’s pretty simple math. Respect our time is what we’re asking. (NT) -- No name, 11:31:51 10/02/24 Wed
