autumn Feis -- Chicago mom, 20:51:02 11/08/09 Sun
The day was long and the food lines even longer but the venue was just perfect. I think the feis organizer's did a very good job. There will always be somepeople who will complain-and rotating the judges is always welcome. My dd had two judges on her stage and placed in two out of six. she came away along with her mother very happy. Perhaps some of the naysayers should help out once in a while and see how much work is involved. Many a time my dd come away with nothing and that is the case with a lot of dancers. Hope everyone had an ejyoyable day.

My Opinion rearding rotating judges -- and Older judges.....Not on this feis committee fyi, 15:57:29 11/08/09 Sun
I am not sure when or where parents felt entitiled to receive a different judge for each of their children's rounds. We actually used to get it as the dancer moved from stage to stage where there was a new judge.... Because parents want drive through Irish Dance, feis committees have turned themselves inside out logisitically to try to accomodate all the "concerns". This is not a soccer game. It lasts more than 1 hour to do this event, even at the PC and OC level. A little secret, your dancer is probably the same ability in front of a hundred different judges! I am sure these judges are, for the most part, fine, upstanding, fair,caring people who love this art form. They do the best they can, but it is their opinion in the end. Another secret, if you dancer makes it to PC or OC, they will be judged by the same panel of judges for all of their rounds. It is what it is. You cannot expect a feis committee to have these judges get up every 30 minutes and move. Stages wont be done at the same time, the feis will last FOREVER!

Now, the "older" judges probably are sticklers for traditional elements in the dance. Things like turnout, carriage, lift, arms, etc. are important to them. I see many children doing steps that are way too hard for them for the sake of the gymnastics and what is "in" and these basic elements of good Irish Dance cannot possibly be executed well by most of them. So, the older judges are doing the art a favor by keeping the true elements important, I think.

Thanks for listening...

- an "older" AD told me that it doesn't matter how complicated the steps are. If they aren't done well and all basics covered, they will be marked accordingly. (NT) -- No name, 16:33:30 11/08/09 Sun
- Bravo! I'll take the 'older judge' any time and by the by they were at the top of the game in their day -- and aren't interested (more), 17:20:10 11/08/09 Sun
- Older!? How about too old to score some of the dancers, didn't even write down some dancers' numbers, or entered the same competitior for two different places? There comes a time to stop judging... (NT) -- No name, 18:13:09 11/08/09 Sun

  - OH Feis Girl - you're always well spoken.............I like your comments - well thought out. My dd does the same thing, knows her limits and takes the steps she knows she can do well.........it is about the dancing not all the "fancy stuff". (NT) -- Good luck with your dancing................Milw Mom, 21:33:39 11/08/09 Sun

Transferring? I know this has been covered here but we never considered it 'til now. My dd is in OC, has been at current school for 10 + yrs. and is qualified to go to NANS. What is the downside from a competition standpoint? Thanks! -- No name, 12:08:38 11/08/09 Sun

- All OC can go to Nationals BUT do not understand your question, could you restate with more detail? (NT) -- here to help, 14:01:48 11/08/09 Sun
- Does the sixth month rule mean she cannot compete at feiseanna but she can attend classes at the new school? My concern is that if she can't compete for six months will she be prepared for NANS or will being out of competition that long affect success at NANS? Anyone go throuogh this experience. (NT) -- No name, 14:10:40 11/08/09 Sun
  - dd transferred and missed all summer competitions -- here's what happened(inside), 14:15:50 11/08/09 Sun
  - You never stop dancing....many older OC dancers only go to majors. ...Practice and attend classes for critique... (NT) -- should be fine MOM, 14:18:00 11/08/09 Sun
    - Very true. My OC dd never goes to any feis, just majors and does quite well. Focus on practicing. Save money by not feising. Good luck to you. (NT) -- No name, 15:27:41 11/08/09 Sun
- we ended up enjoying the break from competition, and when she started competing again, dd did much better than ever before. If you have good reasons to transfer, don't let the break from competition impact your decision, it goes quickly and is not a big deal (NT) -- don't worry about the break, 17:40:00 11/08/09 Sun
- Also, it's only 6 mo9nths, so if you transfer right after the O, dancer will still be able to compete by end of May or atleast by June, so time for one or two before Nationals. (NT) -- good luck, 19:03:25 11/08/09 Sun

- I understand we're human and humans error, but at the PC/OC level that's disgraceful. It speaks to the integrety of the feis. Ever hear of a second set of eyes to audit? (NT) -- you didnt't take awards away - did you., 10:42:34 11/08/09 Sun

    - That is fair. It's also fair to note the two dancers who did place were from the same school (NT) -- and the one who did was CD? You should double audit., 11:02:53 11/08/09 Sun

Just came back from Autumn Feis this year. Great new facility-much bigger and roomier. My only "complaint" was judge was not rotated on our stage-judged dd's all 5 dances. Would've been nice -- to have a different opinion..., 15:36:50 11/07/09 Sat

    - I agree, but I think they could have made better use of the space. It was their first time there, it will get better. SO much better than last year for the grades. (NT) -- Good job, Dennehy parents!, 19:17:45 11/07/09 Sat

    - I love the posters that come on and spew some inane comment like "I don't like indoor soccer fields" without any reasons or facts behind it. That's simply childish. (NT) -- C'mon tell us why? What do you suggest, 23:45:39 11/07/09 Sat

- loved the venue, spacious and quiet???nice for a change (NT) -- why go back where it is too crowded?? Loved It., 01:23:04 11/08/09 Sun
- With so many feises to choose, don't have to go to a -- less han desirable place when others are available...more, 09:37:59 11/08/09 Sun
  - I think they'd risk losing more dancers by going back than by staying. A fancy venue is worthless to me if I have to crawl over bodies to get to the stages and can't even see DD dance. You are entitled to your opinion, of course, but the #1 consideration should be providing enough space. (NT) -- My 2 cents, 09:44:22 11/08/09 Sun
    - space -- No name, 20:59:28 11/08/09 Sun
