Subject: Feis dress sales .... a plea to feis committees ....

Date Posted: 05:56:35 10/23/19 Wed

It seems like the market is pretty flooded with used dresses these days and it's getting tougher to sell. This results in people having to drop the prices of the dresses. Can we PLEASE get away from the $5 hang a dress for sale at the feis's? Do you really need that extra $$? I really appreciate the times we can hang for free. We are already dropping the price without having to pay to hang!

I totally agree. such a pain, and when you add up how many times you have to pay to hang somewhere before it sells, there's no point! (NT) -- ., 12:41:23 10/23/19 Wed
Nothing wrong with a feis charging $5 for us to hang up a dress for sale. If a dress is priced right it will still sell. I've sold 6 dresses so far in time periods ranging from less than 24 hours to 6 weeks. If it's hanging around longer your child either has unusual measurements or more likely, your dress is overpriced. (NT) -- realistic seller, 17:47:40 10/23/19 Wed
No charge to hang a dress at Harvest Time this weekend! (NT) -- DM, 07:22:28 10/24/19 Thu
Many venues do NOT along dresses to be hung all over the place: Also I think it is worthwhile to pay $5 to have an area where they are all supervised and managed: well worth it! Not the feis committees job to provide you a marketing / selling spot for free (NT) -- dd, 11:53:59 10/24/19 Thu

Just beware- Last "supervised" dress room had my stones harvested from the dress -- DM, 13:11:19 10/29/19 Tue

I've found that I have to stay near my dress as much as possible. I'm tall and very thin. I've found much shorter, far wider dancers trying to force the zipper on my dress more than once when it was clear that the edges of the zipper wouldn't come within 2" of meeting while worn by them. Parents let their kids run amok. (NT) -- disgusted, 17:49:18 10/29/19 Tue

There were stones all over the floor near the dress rack at a feis we went to recently. I was stressed out on the owners' behalf. (NT) -- dm, 08:07:49 10/30/19 Wed

Last time I hung my daughter's dress at the O in the supervised room, large stones were harvested from it. (NT) -- not worth it, 09:51:34 10/31/19 Thu

Is it a rotating panel at NEO or set panel? My DD and I could not remember while chatting about it last night. We are just curious does not really matter one way or the other. Although I think my dd prefers rotating.

I was one of the first ones to criticize the O’Dwyer feis last year for what I thought was a not so great feis. We decided to try again and have to admit thought this feis was much much better. Everything was pretty much on time. No awkward practice stage in the middle. Much better stage set up for viewing.

Great job! We’ll be back next year.

Well done, O'Dwyer! It was well organized and on time. There were a lot of different adjudicators, which is refreshing. Nice to get some different perspectives. Only difficulty was acoustics but nothing is ever perfect. Overall, great job. (NT) -- DM, 20:15:41 10/20/19 Sun

My daughter is split Novice/PW U9. These competitions are at the same time. This is only the 3rd time she has danced split so this hasn't happened before. Anyone else have this conflict? Anyone have experience on what normally happens? Thanks!!

I haven't looked at the schedule, but usually the stages are close to each other. She can most likely, run from stage to stage to do her dances. (NT) -- Hope that helps, 08:48:44 10/18/19 Fri

O'Dwyer Feis dilemma -- Deirdre, 09:06:07 10/18/19 Fri

Just let the stage managers at each stage know of the closeness of the comps, and they should be able to help you make sure your dd makes all her comps (NT) -- best of luck!, 09:32:42 10/18/19 Fri

If I remember correctly from last year, stages 2,3, 4 and 6,7, 8 use the same musician so there won't be a conflict between dances; i.e. all stages will dance reel, then move to SJ. She will have to walk between the two stages, but should not miss any comps (NT) -- hth, 09:50:09 10/18/19 Fri
She will definitely not be the only one in this position. She need only tell the stage manager at each of the stages what the situation is and she will be given time to make it back and forth. (NT) -- happens all the time, 20:05:35 10/18/19 Fri

We are having problems finding a contact for schools in New England so if anyone can help please let us know (thank you also to the lovely people who have already contacted us with some names and links to school pages).

Has anyone ever sued a ex teacher or school for slander with evidence showing they did, or will I be the 1st! So done with hearing ridiculous rumors from old school. It’s time parents fought back. Some teachers really get nasty and start in on the kid as well. We left get over it.

We attended the New England Autumn feis yesterday and I was honestly amazed at the lack of consideration and manners in one of the champs rooms. Crowds of people were in the room and the musician had to ask for quiet several times. People were practicing in hard shoes while girls were dancing their sets on the other side of the room. There were many kids just hanging out and talking in bunches so it was difficult to see the dancers and to get back to where our stuff was parked to change shoes. The poor stage manager had enough on her hands checking everyone in and no one could hear her when she announced the next group. My daughter looked at me at one point as she was trying to get back to the little square foot of space we had carved out to change shoes and begged me not to say anything because she knew how rude people were, and knew I don't handle it well. I understanding waiting in the room if you are the next comp. up, but be polite. If you are there to watch a friend dance, be quiet while others are dancing. If you have a burning need to talk about the Tic Tok boys who were there, leave the room.

I spent time in the Grace Room too and agree that there was too much noise. I've been around a long time and did get up from my seat to ask dancers several times to stop practicing while competitions were going. Where are their parents? Could they not tell it was disruptive. One parent was "practicing" her daughter and sneered at me when I requested they stop. I applaud the school for trying a different venue, but the layout of this one just could not handle the size of the crowd (NT) -- live and learn, 08:33:16 09/23/19 Mon

Doesn't really matter why they changed venues, doesn't change the fact that many of us felt that the hotel did not work as well for the large crowds as the High School did. And yes, I agree that the lack of courtesy was appalling and is a completely seperate issue from the challenges of the venue (NT) -- Might be worth a hotel room next year, just for access to a bathroom!, 10:19:10 09/24/19 Tue

Rude and discourteous people are in abundance in ID unfortunately. I was in the Grace room a good part of the day and appalled by the lack of consideration. I wished that the musician and judges would have cleared the back of the room spectators unless they could prove they needed to be in there at that time. Multiple requests for quiet were ignored.

The venue caused a lot of the issues (more) -- ---, 11:48:58 09/23/19 Mon
I was initially thrilled with the location change but the hotel was just not equipped to handle an event like that. The New England room was tiny and about 110 degrees thanks to the blazing sun coming into the room. The stage was tiny and dangerous. Nowhere to camp or warm up, we could only find one bathroom and the lines were out the door with people holding toilet paper because the stalls were out by 11am. On the brighter side The volunteers were friendly and the awards area was very nice. (NT) -- --, 14:32:38 09/23/19 Mon

Moving to Peabody MA from the Midwest and need your help finding a fairly competitive school for my U14 open daughter. I’ve searched online the best I could but there doesn’t seem to be THAT many schools very close to us. I’m willing to travel an hour (a little more if necessary) to get my daughter into a good school. Money is also a wee tight at the moment, so if your a mother from a school and know your tuition is through the roof, I politely ask you to refrain from answering with that school.

If you can write more details for what you're looking for - small/large school ,privates, teams focus, etc - that would be great! But going by north of Boston I would def rec looking at Keane O'Brien, Bracken, or Goulding. All good ppl and I know parents at all three schools that are happy. Check out Murray if you want a really big school that's really competitive. (NT) -- NHMom, 10:50:24 07/24/19 Wed
Great, thank you! Looking for more of a small, tight knit school where my daughter can get 1-on-1 corrections ect. (NT) -- Op, 10:56:39 07/24/19 Wed

Ok - then DEF Keane O'Brien. Small school. Privates. Parents group and lots of group activties. Very nice people. Good luck and welcome to the area!!! (NT) -- NHMom, 10:58:36 07/24/19 Wed
I would be concerned about the commute through Boston to get from Peabody to Keane-O'Brien during after school/rush hours (when dance classes typically are). Make sure to check that commute time. Bracken is a small school, competitive, and looks like a more manageable commute. (NT) -- hth, 12:30:08 07/24/19 Wed

FWIW, North Shore dancers with Keane O'Brien take classes on Tuesday nights in their Reading location, and typically only travel to Braintree on Saturday (NT) -- No school night commuting necessary, 05:35:31 07/25/19 Thu

Bracken is a great competitive school on the North Shore and not so Huge that they dont get the attention needed (NT) -- Dance Mom, 13:38:02 07/26/19 Fri

There really aren't many good options for a competitive school anywhere near Peabody. I'd be tempted to go north to Murray in Dover, NH. Not much further than Bracken and much more competitive. Check New England Oireachtas results and local NE feiseanna results. And no, I am not a Murray parent. My dancer has recently retired from another school.

I, too, did not get into Marriott. Had success at Hilton. You have to realize that hundreds are all typing in their information at the same time. Teachers, judges, musicians, and vendors have all pre-booked at Marriott leaving very little leeway in these reservations. That is why the offer 3 other locations in addition to Marriott.

There are 4 hotels. If you are upset that you could not get into any of the 4, they you have a right to be angry, but if it's because you couldn't get into Marriott, I think it was clearly explained above why so many rooms were pre-sold. (NT) -- there are options, 12:01:03 08/29/19 Thu

Thanks,, but you haven’t earned the right to tell anyone how to feel. The fact is, there are probably only a small hand full of rooms left in the Marriott after the teachers and musicians and vendors book. So really, why bother opening it up? Why pretend the rest of us have a shot at being in the “host” hotel”? (NT) -- It’s the only walkable hotel, 15:34:25 08/29/19 Thu

As a comparison at NANs this year, none of the hotels were attached and all required walking . . . in rain, etc and we all survived! It is what it is.

Our fabulous new venue is the Hilton Dedham which is very centrally located right off of Rt 95/128 and minutes from Legacy Place outdoor shopping center. We have a limited amount of hotel rooms available the night before the Feis at a block group rate. See syllabus for details! We look forward to seeing everyone there!

It would be helpful to include the date of the feis when urging people to register for it. A link to the registration site would also have been useful. (NT) -- busy feis mom, 06:13:13 08/30/19 Fri

If you have time to be on voy, busy feis mom, you have time to go on the site (NT) -- where most feis registrations occur in the region and look that up, 10:20:52 08/30/19 Fri

wow, don’t need to be nasty about it. It’s standard to register for feisanna via Feisweb. Clearly a mistake, not putting the date. -- also busy, 08:22:45 08/30/19 Fri

Funny, I didn't read the comment as nasty at all. I think it was a good suggestion. I agree that posts asking people to register for a Feis should include Feis date and where to register. (NT) -- Me, 21:22:12 08/30/19 Fri

I heard it was the 29th, Thursday but have not received a single detail from TC. Their website is under construction, and their FB page still shows the O info from last year. I feel like this is unusual, the last few years we knew a couple of weeks in advance of the block. (NT) -- Unsure, 14:32:59 08/25/19 Sun
TC said they got their info the night before booking opened (NT) -- ., 15:01:38 08/25/19 Sun

I wonder if they are trying to cut down on the amount of people that attempt to book through the links before the block opens (NT) -- ??, 15:09:22 08/25/19 Sun

just got confirmation from our TC -- good luck to us all, 10:13:36 08/26/19 Mon

Did you get a date confirmation or actual links and information? (NT) -- Thanks, 11:28:35 08/26/19 Mon
Really? How odd. We got confirmation today from our TC that the block would open on 8/29 (NT) -- Wonder which date is correct, 21:34:37 08/26/19 Mon

I believe the 29th is correct. But when will we receive information with links?? Anyone know? (NT) -- ??, 05:30:29 08/27/19 Tue

8/29 This Thursday is the correct date. Just saw a school share the booking links and info on FB. (NT) -- ., 18:25:23 08/27/19 Tue

Would you mind sharing what school has it up on their FB page? We got it as a screen shot from our TC, so the links are not active and they are tiny! (NT) -- TIA, 18:51:52 08/27/19 Tue

Got the links, but is it me or are there less hotels on the list this year?? (NT) -- Could be wrong, 04:29:17 08/28/19 Wed
Has anyone seen a schedule? Is it the same as last year? (NT) -- ?, 07:51:43 08/28/19 Wed

The schedule is not the same as last year at all. I saw it posted on Heavey Quinn FB page (NT) -- hth, 10:42:40 08/28/19 Wed

Trad set and teams are exactly same days as last year. I don’t remember solos exactly, but at least through U13 was on Friday (NT) -- Last year, 18:16:18 08/28/19 Wed

this is insane -- always the same, 08:00:53 08/28/19 Wed

Subject: Feis dress sales .... a plea to feis committees ....
Author: DM [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 05:56:35 10/23/19 Wed It seems like the market is pretty flooded with used dresses these days and it's getting tougher to sell. This results in people having to drop the prices of the dresses. Can we PLEASE get away from the $5 hang a dress for sale at the feis's? Do you really need that extra $$? I really appreciate the times we can hang for free. We are already dropping the price without having to pay to hang! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I totally agree. such a pain, and when you add up how many times you have to pay to hang somewhere before it sells, there's no point! (NT) -- ., 12:41:23 10/23/19 Wed Nothing wrong with a feis charging $5 for us to hang up a dress for sale. If a dress is priced right it will still sell. I've sold 6 dresses so far in time periods ranging from less than 24 hours to 6 weeks. If it's hanging around longer your child either has unusual measurements or more likely, your dress is overpriced.

(NT) -- DM, 07:22:28 10/24/19 Thu Many venues do NOT along dresses to be hung all over the place: Also I think it is worthwhile to pay $5 to have an area where they are all supervised and managed: well worth it!
