You might want to message them directly for certain. They have a very low cap and I have never known them to take late entries in the past, but you never know, each year might be different. (NT) -- hth, 10:30:55 05/21/13 Tue
How do you know if you got into Greene O'Leary, sent my check weeks ago. (NT) -- DM, 14:06:27 05/21/13 Tue

GOI is the only feis that ever returned my check to me when I did not get in...well, actually first and only feis I had that happen actually! So if you have not gotten in - you should receive your check back from what I recall! (NT) -- NE mom, 17:42:59 05/21/13 Tue

I think this will be our next Nationals as Well. How far of a drive is Montreal from Boston area and we do need passports correct? (NT) -- Never been to Canada, 10:31:18 05/20/13 Mon

Mapquest or Google Maps will answer your distance question. Yes, passports (or a passport card) or an enhanced drivers license is required. (NT) -- hth, 10:33:53 05/20/13 Mon
Answers: 1. Mapquest says it's a 6 hour drive from Boston to Montreal. 2. Canada requires US citizens to have either a valid passport, a Nexus card or an enhanced drivers license. The latter two only work if you are driving or sailing into Canada. If you're flying you still need a passport. Also the enhanced drivers licenses (EDLs) are not available in all states.

Probably so pw dancers get used to tough competition. They dont't split prelim groups. 25 is not a large group (NT) -- Just my opinion, 16:29:34 05/16/13 Thu
See inside... -- Murray Feis Committee, 05:03:14 05/17/13 Fri

Dd loves groups of 30+. A win in a large group means more to her than one in a smaller group, especially if there's only one first place. Don't listen to the complainers; you do a great job! (NT) -- ., 05:32:06 05/17/13 Fri

I agree! It is wonderful how responsive this feis committee is. Very considerate and effecient "customer service"! (NT) -- --, 07:51:57 05/17/13 Fri

Now this makes complete sense to me. If competition is good, a judge can always award 2 firsts and you have the same number as you would if the group had been split. (NT) -- AD will award accordingly, 12:19:53 05/17/13 Fri

It is still up to the judges to award more than 1 st. Most feissiana tell the judges the same thing but i have seen single 1st going to groups of 25-30 before. The numbers are small these days (NT) -- mom, 11:24:28 05/18/13 Sat

I wanted to congratulate and thank the Greater Boston Irish Dance teachers for a wonderful feis this weekend. We look forward to this feis every year. I love the friendly environment. The friendships between the teachers that organize this are so obvious. They set such a good example for thier students. I loved seeing the teachers reactions when the Heavey Quinn Academy performed their choreography. It was amazing to see all of the TC's and AD's congratulate Mary with hugs and tears. It's quite apparent that although competitors, the friendships and memories are much more important. I'm proud to be part of Greater Boston Irish Dance School!

We are new but wondering if I am requesting this right, does the cape cod feis through feis web offer emailing the grades each judge gave the dancers? we got them emailed it seems when we register through feis web, does this always happen or just certain feis's?

[ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:

Very often a feis offers registration through feis web, but only has champ level results tabulated by them. They have parent volunteers do tabulation for the grade levels. When that happens, no results are posted online or emailed for grade level results. It is an additional service that the feis committee can arrange with Feis Web, but it is not included automatically from what I understand. (NT) -- feis mom, 09:23:23 05/13/13 Mon

The Cape feis does not offer marks for grades competitions, only for champs and prelims. (NT) -- Cape feis volunteer, 10:53:04 05/13/13 Mon

I have to say this is such a pity since Feisweb offers the service. As a parent, I'd gladly pay the extra $1 on an entry fee to get the marks service added for grades. (NT) -- Avine, 11:48:28 05/13/13 Mon

I agree. Grades' parents pay good money for their children's participation in competition - and the adjudicators' marks and comments go a long way towards making champs for the higher levels of competition. I know that it is the "way its done", but I do wish that this would change...tomorrow's champs are today's Grades. The fees are plenty high but could be made reasonably higher to reflect the cost of emailing results. They are every bit as important to the up and coming dancers. (NT) -- we were all grades parents once, 12:27:21 05/13/13 Mon
Another parent who agrees, it makes such a big difference when you know where they fell in the comp. -- ..., 12:37:08 05/13/13 Mon

Call me crazy, but if a beginner doesn't place, I don't think it's "helpful" for them to know that they were dead last. (NT) -- Right?, 14:43:04 05/13/13 Mon

True, but I was thinking more for my PW dancer, it is good to hear it from judge AND teacher, and sometimes positive comments are written too (NT) -- anive, 11:57:15 05/14/13 Tue

Thank you so much for this message. Often parents of the grades kids are made to feel like it doesn't matter if we get marks or not. As the mother of a child who has been in prizewinner for quite some time, the marks and comments are greatly appreciated. (NT) -- Grades mom, 12:57:01 05/13/13 Mon

FEISWEB -- Mom, 13:23:27 05/13/13 Mon

I hate to tell you. You DID pay the $1. Look at your receipt. (NT) -- -, 14:50:21 05/13/13 Mon
Having Feisweb tabulate Grades (and thus the emailed marks) is EXPENSIVE for the host school. We considered it for our feis but as we had skilled volunteers available it didn't make financial sense for our feis. (more)... -- former feis committee member, 16:22:39 05/13/13 Mon

Alan tabulating grades costs the feis nothing. Emailing the marks is an additional expense to the feis. (NT) -- -, 17:35:42 05/13/13 Mon

Really, he does it for nothing? (NT) -- ???, 17:44:06 05/13/13 Mon

Costs the feis nothing. Costs you a dollar. (NT) -- -, 17:57:29 05/13/13 Mon

Feis Volunteer -- Mom, 08:09:44 05/14/13 Tue

His payment is the $1 per family registration fee. (NT) -- -, 08:31:26 05/14/13 Tue

It does cost the feis if Alan does tabulating the $1.00 fee is for the ability to register online (NT) -- TC, 07:17:19 05/14/13 Tue

Then I should look at our bills again. Because that wasn't our deal. We've been using Alan longer than most. (NT) -- -, 08:36:34 05/14/13 Tue

Love the Cape Cod Feis. The fact that there's no marks makes no difference to me. I'd come anyway. My PW danced and didn't do as well as hoped, but I know what she has to work on because her teachers tell my DD. Pretty sure judge would say the same thing. (NT) -- Save ur $ and ask teacher, 20:17:40 05/13/13 Mon

Yes, but all judges have different styles of judging so it's helpful all around to see what that particular judge is looking for. (NT) -- Mom, 06:21:15 05/14/13 Tue
They may say same, but I still feel its valuable to my PW & Novice dancers to reinforce it and sometimes hear positive comments too, and also see if perhaps they were 1 place out (ie 4th). When the budget is tight, we skip non-comment feiseanna! (NT) -- A mom, 18:11:40 05/14/13 Tue

Okay cool, so that means you skipped this feis anyway, so you don't have to worry a bit about the fact that there were no comments. (NT) -- no problem, 19:20:41 05/14/13 Tue

ADCRGs are not required to make comments - they are there to judge and rank the dancers. People can "interpret" the numbers any way they want - but the truth is that whether the difference was .001 or 10 pts, at the end of the day, the better dancer was ahead. (NT) -- x, 08:49:37 05/15/13 Wed

comments for grades -- volunteer, 14:12:09 05/14/13 Tue

How do you know what my dd's tc says to her? Fact is, tc says a lot to the beg-nov kids but pretty much says nothing to pw+. We depend on what we see other dd's do, and judges comments. Our tc is all about timing. Once that's fixed, she thinks we're golden. (NT) -- Not all tc correct same!, 15:30:50 05/14/13 Tue

I agree absolutely! How could this feis volunteer know what is being said to other dancers as opposed to their judges' comments??? Ludicrous! I say the marks and comments are very helpful, and as above poster said, grades parents pay just as much if not MORE for their feis participation! (NT) -- Grades marks are well deserved!, 16:58:46 05/14/13 Tue

There is definitely an additional cost to feisweb tabulating and mailing grades marks and although worth it, it is not cheap. And the $1 is NOT the only fee for using Feisweb. There are additional tabulating fees for both champs and grades. (NT) -- Mom who has been a feis secretary, 16:09:24 05/15/13 Wed

Not sure if this is the same girl, but the girl that passed out is doing well. They think she passed out because of the pain she had. Twisted her ankle while dancing--unfortunately she broke her foot (NT) -- dancer, 09:37:29 05/14/13 Tue

Wondering if anyone by mistake picked up a soft shoe in awards room at Lynn Feis in Stamford CT last Sunday? It is Fays size 6 6.5 and basically brand new. My daughter left it in the awards room. Can you please email me at above email address if you have this shoe. Thanks so much....

Yup, we will be skipping this one. No need to have an "and up" in OC to start at 16. Plenty of other feis to do instead. Unfortunate because we would have done a double feis weekend. (NT) -- Hate the "and over" groups..., 16:18:59 05/09/13 Thu

If you feis in NE you'd probably be aware that they often start out this way in case registration numbers are low. People would HOWL if they combined groups that were listed separately on a syllabus, but if the registration numbers support it, almost all the recent NE feiseanna have split the oldest prelim and OC into U18 and 18+. (NT) -- so we're going, 16:37:47 05/09/13 Thu

I agree that that is often what pans out. Unfortunately, my dd won't even waste the money to register for OC age group as low as 16+, so if there are others like us the registration #s may not be enough to affect the outcome. Love the double feis weekend but my senior age dd wouldn't register for this (NT) -- Not the OP or previous poster., 17:26:03 05/09/13 Thu

We are also not registering because of the OC 16+ age; she's not too happy with 17+ but adding an additional year, besides taking a gamble on a first-time outdoor feis (NT) -- we will pass this year, 18:52:47 05/09/13 Thu

Same here, would mean almost 7 years difference for me. Love the younger dancers, but there are enough U17s to cover the age. Would like to see feis have U20 and 20+ and if numbers don't materialize then combine. Having 16+ or 17+ causes most of the older dancers not to register in the first place. (NT) -- maybe next year?, 08:36:12 05/12/13 Sun

Unfortunately Harney Always does 16+O and many college and older dancers refuse to compete in this age group. Feis committees should remember Senior ladies at NANs have now been split for 3 hrs. In 2012 the split was at age 23! Who wants to dance with 16 year olds? (NT) -- Senior, 21:32:12 05/09/13 Thu

Not me! I refuse to sign up for 16+ comps! (NT) -- Another senior, 22:09:28 05/09/13 Thu

Ditto. (NT) -- U20, 04:15:13 05/10/13 Fri
Ditto, won't waste money IF they decide to split the comps...most likely will not split them. (NT) -- HATE, HATE, HATE O16+, 08:53:20 05/10/13 Fri

Mmmm, not quite true. Just looked at results for Harney feis from last Oct. There was a U17and a 17+. The 17+ had 24 dancers, so I'd guess they'll do just fine despite all the negativity posted here. We'll be there. And no, we're not from Harney. (NT) -- mom of college OC dancer, 06:58:35 05/11/13 Sat

Yrs not hrs (NT) -- Senior, 21:33:46 05/09/13 Thu
As a college sophmore, driving myself and paying the $51 entry fee, sorry -- but no way on the O16+....it's bad enough when it's O17+. And, given no word on adjudicators.... (NT) -- No thanks, 07:19:11 05/10/13 Fri
Skipped Hartford for the same reason. (NT) -- sigh..., 09:01:04 05/10/13 Fri
that's too bad I heard it will be combined with an Irish festival and pretty good but I agree O16+ is ridiculous (NT) -- on the fence, 14:35:20 05/14/13 Tue
