Wow. I read the post you are responding to as simple curiosity as to whether the feis committee had brought in any new judges this year. Nobody cast any aspersions on the dancers. Look for ways to be offended much? (NT) -- smh, 07:36:00 09/03/13 Tue

Thanks you! I am in no questioning any of the placements. This group is loaded with talent. Horgan seems to use the same judges and was genuinely curious if they changed them at all. Was not able to find them posted prior to feis and we were not able to go after we had signed up. (NT) -- No offense meant, 07:43:21 09/03/13 Tue

Actually wasnt trying to be offensive. Just wondering why different judges would make a difference. Sorry (NT) -- Dm, 07:57:52 09/03/13 Tue
To answer your question, Quassy had 2 stages this year. Eileen Mc Donogh Morr, Ann Devine, and Joanie Cass were on one. Irene Horgan, Joe Seletski and Erin Kennedy were on the other. Definitely new mix of judges. Really appreciated the 2 stages and additional judges:) (NT) -- dm, 06:04:09 09/05/13 Thu

And so no one reads anything into this, I like the judges who were there last year too! (NT) -- dm, 06:05:40 09/05/13 Thu

Thank you so much to the two great musicians today at the horgan feis. The guy on stage b under cover played perfect pitch Fiddle all day long, and the guy on stage a--who alternates between his fiddle and keyboard plays versions we almost never hear--maybe even his own. And his music is beautiful. Both had to play above the roar of the roller coasters. I don't know that we recognize enough the difference a fine soundtrack makes to enjoying a feis on a humid, hot day. Thank you, guys!

I did a little research for you. I checked out all the possibilities I know of, checked their websites for current class locations and then checked drive times from Keene using Mapquest. (see inside) -- NE mom, 14:24:21 08/28/13 Wed

MCDERMOTT ACADEMY sounds closest (NT) -- --, 08:56:18 08/30/13 Fri

Don't think so. If you look at the drive times shown, there are 2 others closer than McDermott, though only by 11 minutes. (NT) -- reader, 19:31:44 09/01/13 Sun

Cassin Academy has classes in Holyoke MA about 90 min from Keene. Small school with college aged champs . (NT) -- ~~, 14:37:30 08/28/13 Wed

I've only recently heard of this school. Dd is in college and has been in OC for years, but we have never seen anybody from Cassin in any of her comps. (NT) -- surprised MA mom, 20:26:08 08/28/13 Wed

New school. Maybe 3rd year? I think the older girls are transfers from another local school. (NT) -- Massachusetts Dancer, 00:43:12 08/29/13 Thu

I just scanned through all the NE feis results from the past two years. No college-age Cassin dancers appear in open champ, and none in prelim either. (NT) -- hm, 14:02:35 08/29/13 Thu

NEO and NANs this year there was 1 (NT) -- Not pp, 18:30:51 08/29/13 Thu

Thanks. I hadn't looked at any O and NANS results. Second reply from the top used the plural so I was expecting to see multiple Cassin dancers, but at least there is one. (NT) -- hm, 19:13:16 08/29/13 Thu

I think it's growing with more transfers this summer (NT) -- pp, 19:17:45 08/29/13 Thu

Most schools grow with new beginners each year (NT) -- x, 10:51:32 09/01/13 Sun

I was referring to the older girls since that's what this post was about. I'm sure it's growing with new students as well (NT) -- :), 17:30:03 09/01/13 Sun

I'm a champ dancer in MA and I haven't heard of any college age open champs transferring to Cassin this summer. If they did they'll be on the ban and will miss the O. Time will tell. (NT) -- OC in MA, 19:37:24 09/01/13 Sun

And I don't think it feasible for a college student to drive 90 minutes for class. most college students don't have cars and have too much school work to do as well (NT) -- --, 10:44:49 08/29/13 Thu

Um. It's only Sunday? (NT) -- Patience?, 19:27:25 08/25/13 Sun

It's both days. Champs on Sat, & solos on Sunday (NT) -- On the website, 19:46:33 08/25/13 Sun

I am pretty sure the poster was referring to the fact that today is only Sunday, and it's customary to post schedules by the Wednesday night prior to the feis, so it's a little soon to be asking for it. (NT) -- just my guess, 19:50:24 08/25/13 Sun

Yes, that was my point. Generally, according to the past, they have run by age order and comp level. Once in awhile, they have switched it up. They usually post a general time schedule on their webpage by Wednesday/Thursday. They have really stepped things up the past few years. (NT) -- It is still early in the week, 21:28:29 08/25/13 Sun

Yes, but the OP may have referred to the syllabus on the website which said that a schedule would be posted one week before. (NT) -- A little patience all the way 'round, 09:33:18 08/26/13 Mon

I stand corrected. The site says "during the week before" . (NT) -- Sorry, 10:11:52 08/26/13 Mon

Can't believe how rude first responder was... (NT) -- OP was just asking a simple question., 06:17:05 08/26/13 Mon
I think at one point the web site said the times would be up one week ahead now it says the week of...maybe OP was referring to the first message? (NT) -- just a guess, 06:47:31 08/26/13 Mon
Thought OP was sort of demanding, myself. Webpage always said week of. Days are already set for grades and champs. Agree with the above about patience. Most feis post schedule the Wed or Thurs before. (NT) -- asking patience is not rude, 07:16:18 08/26/13 Mon

The website origionally stated "schedule will be posted the week before", then Sunday it was changed to "the week of...". So OP is correct. However if they are still accepting entries then Wednesday sounds more realistic. (NT) -- DM, 13:44:42 08/26/13 Mon

But why assume she was being impatient? She could have just been asking as an out of towner who had no idea... (NT) -- Let's give people the benefit of the doubt. Kindness goes a long way :), 08:09:15 08/26/13 Mon

Exactly, perhaps its their first time attending. I so agree that people are quick to snip and snap at others posts when a simple question was asked. They obviously did not have the answer so they should have moved on and not commented. (NT) -- Be kind, 08:13:22 08/26/13 Mon

Has anyone who danced when they were kids ever come back ? Do you compete? I want to compete, but there's no competition in the adult categories, and I'm not thrilled about dancing with 18 year olds in the oldest champ comps....

[ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I don't know how old you are, but a few years ago a young NE woman who had danced briefly as a child started taking classes again after getting out of college and made it to Worlds before retiring at I think age 27. I also knew an SR dancer who never even tried Irish dance until after college, went on to WQ and competed at Worlds before leaving competition to spend a few years touring the world as part of Riverdance. (NT) -- so it's doable, 12:21:16 08/24/13 Sat
why on earth would you want to compete if there are no adult competitions ? Really I am sincerely asking because this came up in conversation recently--and none of us could fathom why an adult would feel such a desire to compete against/with children and youth. Adults who want to dance need to find an "adult" venue and leave the feiseanna to the kids--if there is no adult comp. If there is no pet category I wouldn't enter the dog... (NT) -- doesn't make sense, 17:49:47 08/24/13 Sat

Ummm, and-over means just that. It doesn't mean "children only". In fact most of my college dd's OC comps are 18+ which means there ARE no children in the competition whatsoever. Dd is 19 and does not object in the least to competing with any OC in her group. We welcome all. That's what champions do. What a shame that you don't. (NT) -- you're a disgrace, 18:08:20 08/24/13 Sat
Personal Goals? -- dm, 05:53:12 08/25/13 Sun
I hope your not comparing adult dancers to dogs. Irish dancing takes skill & talent along with a lot of hard work. I've see women in their late 20's in "& over", but your post has now encouraged a 30 something to try. You may not have meant it to sound this way, but you reply sounds ignorant, & I sincerely hope your not involved with my school. (NT) -- Older dancer, 06:09:09 08/25/13 Sun

Agree. Isn't dancing for dancers? Love the dancing spirit & detest reading such negative opinions. But oh well... (NT) -- Dance until you can't!, 14:25:00 08/26/13 Mon

The "kids" you are referring to are in the oldest age category. Many of them might be 18 or 19. They will hardly be crushed by competing with someone in their mid 20's. (more) -- x, 00:29:53 08/26/13 Mon

Many dancers in their mid 20's consistently recall at Worlds, are top 15 NANs, and on the podium at their O (in all regions as well as overseas). These dancers don't Feis often since they hate to compete with 17 year olds but most do one Feis when they change their material for the new dance year. And most place well against the teens. (NT) -- Nothing wrong with that, 17:48:16 08/26/13 Mon

I am an adult dancer in grades, and would love to compete against other adults, but in the NE area, there just aren't many comps offering adult compeititions, and on ones that just don't lump all the adults together in one category. And-overs is my only option, if I want to complete. I've seen other adults also competing in the grades, and god bless the kids, they seem to welcome us, from my experience. not all of us were fortunate to be exposed to the great sport of Irish dance in our youth.

Normally there are no AD conflicts at the oireachtas since it is a primary qualifier. If you are from out of out region...college students...that could be different. (NT) -- Ask your TC, 13:40:12 08/22/13 Thu
Sorry wording off. Meaning will any schools in ne regional be judging worlds hence making amount of qualifiers greater at oireachtas? (NT) -- dm, 13:48:57 08/22/13 Thu

We don't know yet who will be judging Worlds, so nobody can answer that question quite yet. I'd just focus on getting that WQ at the O, and not worry about who might have to stay home from London. (NT) -- it's not til next April..., 14:41:56 08/22/13 Thu

I was asking a question which I'm entitled to do but thanks for your snarky advice (NT) -- dm, 15:55:45 08/22/13 Thu

Great snarky reply. (NT) -- Who are you?, 10:20:55 08/26/13 Mon

The number of qualifiers at the O does not increase because of associations. World judges will not be known at the time of the O so that is not even possible. If there is an association conflict later, the qualifying place would be handed down to the next placer. This is never done at the O. (NT) -- NEMom, 18:14:26 08/22/13 Thu

It is also possible that no one from the associated school will qualify for Worlds. In that case, there would be no qualifying place to hand down. (NT) -- NEMom again, 18:46:07 08/22/13 Thu

I always thought that the only qualifying spots that were passed over were for those who had medaled at the previous Worlds? (NT) -- confused, 19:03:01 08/22/13 Thu

That is correct but in recent years, if a qualified dancer cannot compete at Worlds due to an association with a Worlds adjudicator, the first dancer who did not qualify has been allowed to go. Again there is no increase in the number of qualifiers at the O due to association. The only increase in the number of qualifiers is for a WMH who is among the O qualifiers. More inside... -- NEMom again, 19:23:39 08/22/13 Thu

True. It also depends on your TC's feelings on this. Ours doesn't consider you qualified for worlds if you didn't actually qualify. She doesn't send you if you just squeak in due to someone else's misfortune in having a judging conflict. (NT) -- ., 19:37:35 08/22/13 Thu

Will echo the above post. At this point, it is useless to worry about the ADJ's for Worlds. Focus on the O's if your dancer didn't qualify at NANS. There will be very few, precious spots since there were very few WMH's for NA. As for Associations, the only ones known are the mandated, but no-one knows for sure (NT) -- how that will really work, 07:47:46 08/23/13 Fri
I did hear there was someone in New England putting their name in for London Worlds but they have no WQ's so it should not be a conflict (NT) -- hth, 07:38:56 08/24/13 Sat

I understand you think your dog is well behaved but the rules have to be the same for all - and how sad would it be for someone to bring another dog that DOES bark loudly, runs around, jumps all over the dancers and patrons, etc. and that is leaving aside the allergy issue. You would not be able to tell which child is highly allergic until it is too late. I am sure you can understand why it is best for animals to be left at home. (NT) -- Thanks committee., 08:03:52 08/22/13 Thu

Didn't realize this board hated dogs. (NT) -- Sad Puppy, 12:02:19 08/22/13 Thu

I love dogs, have one, and am the poster directly above. There is nothing in my post which could lead you to believe I hate dogs, nor in anyone else's for that matter. However there is a time and a place, and as much as I love my pup and think she is the best dog in the world, I would not run the risk of ruining other folks' day at the feis by bringing her. Sorry you cannot see why. (NT) -- Pet lover., 12:22:46 08/22/13 Thu

And for that I am grateful. (NT) -- Allergic to dogs, 16:26:06 08/22/13 Thu

And I am quite afraid of them. (NT) -- also grateful, 08:38:29 08/23/13 Fri

I just got the greatest dog in the world whom I love. However, I totally agree with most people on this post about bringing a dog to a feis. Dogs do not really belong for a number of reasons. (NT) -- id mom, 05:37:21 08/23/13 Fri

Er, this board doesn't hate dogs. I love my dog, he is a cherished member of the family. However I have common sense and know that even my beautifully trained dog does not belong at a feis. Have you no sense at all? (NT) -- wow, 07:46:05 08/26/13 Mon

Please tell me you don't really use a glue gun? (NT) -- Ugh!, 18:59:31 08/21/13 Wed

No glue gun, all by hand. Sorry, must have misinterpreted this post. I thought you were looking for someone to help. (NT) -- :), 20:04:23 08/21/13 Wed

Well you did sign as "...gluegun person", so it's a legitimate question. (NT) -- reader, 05:34:45 08/22/13 Thu
The glue gun comment made me cringe as well. Nothing ruins a gorgeous dress like globs of hot glue. (NT) -- ~Kris, 06:16:04 08/22/13 Thu

I'm too far away to help, but I charge $10/hour plus the cost of the crystals. I use e6000 to affix the crystals. I've spent anywhere for 5-10 hours for a full bling job, depending on the size of the crystals and design. (NT) -- ~Kris, 18:22:31 08/21/13 Wed

Did I miss something? I honestly don't see any posts here where anybody questions your reasons for asking for help. (NT) -- do you?, 05:37:21 08/22/13 Thu

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps there was a post that was removed by the moderator. (NT) -- -, 09:41:27 08/22/13 Thu

I haven't removed any posts on this thread. (NT) -- Mod, 10:25:28 08/22/13 Thu

For a solo dress, I would charge at least $15 an hour, plus the cost of the crystals. It usually takes at least 6 - 7 hours to do a decent job on a solo, with layout, etc. For a school dress, it would be the same, but only about 4 - 5 hours. BNDM charge much more.

Author: Iknowgreatmusic [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:21:47 09/01/13 Sun Thank you so much to the two great musicians today at the horgan feis. The guy on stage b under cover played perfect pitch Fiddle all day long, and the guy on stage a--who alternates between his fiddle and keyboard plays versions we almost never hear--maybe even his own.

Never seen them we rely on those who attend to share. Some do most don't. (NT) -- No nay never, 19:18:46 09/01/13 Sun It's a little hard because the results only include comp numbers, not names.

I did a little research for you. I checked out all the possibilities I know of, checked their websites for current class locations and then checked drive times from Keene using Mapquest. (see inside) -- NE mom, 14:24:21 08/28/13 Wed MCDERMOTT ACADEMY sounds closest (NT) -- --, 08:56:18 08/30/13 Fri Don't think so. If you look at the drive times shown, there are 2 others closer than McDermott, though only by 11 minutes. (NT) -- reader, 19:31:44 09/01/13 Sun Cassin Academy has classes in Holyoke MA about 90 min from Keene. Small school with college aged champs . (NT) -- ~~, 14:37:30 08/28/13 Wed I've only recently heard of this school. Dd is in college and has been in OC for years, but we have never seen anybody from Cassin in any of her comps. (NT) -- surprised MA mom, 20:26:08 08/28/13 Wed New school. Maybe 3rd year? I think the older girls are transfers from another local school. (NT) -- Massachusetts Dancer, 00:43:12 08/29/13 Thu I just scanned through all the NE feis results from the past two years. No college-age Cassin dancers appear in open champ, and none in prelim either. (NT) -- hm, 14:02:35 08/29/13 Thu NEO and NANs this year there was 1 (NT) -- Not pp, 18:30:51 08/29/13 Thu Thanks. I hadn't looked at any O and NANS results. Second reply from the top used the plural so I was expecting to see multiple Cassin dancers, but at least there is one. (NT) -- hm, 19:13:16 08/29/13 Thu I think it's growing with more transfers this summer (NT) -- pp, 19:17:45 08/29/13 Thu Most schools grow with new beginners each year (NT) -- x, 10:51:32 09/01/13 Sun I was referring to the older girls since that's what this post was about. I'm sure it's growing with new students as well (NT) -- :), 17:30:03 09/01/13 Sun I'm a champ dancer in MA and I haven't heard of any college age open champs transferring to Cassin this summer. If they did they'll be on the ban and will miss the O. Time will tell. (NT) -- OC in MA, 19:37:24 09/01/13 Sun And I don't think it feasible for a college student to drive 90 minutes for class. most college students don't have cars and have too much school work to do as well (NT) -- --, 10:44:49 08/29/13 Thu What about Murray? (NT) -- Great results!, 10:18:20 08/29/13 Thu Sure, it's great but it's nearly 2 hours from Keene. McFadden in VT is 2.5 hours from Keene. There's not much out here -- NO competition. New teachers -- hint hint! (NT) -- western NH mom, 12:21:40 08/29/13 Thu Correction, there's nothing out here (sound of wolves baying). (NT) -- western NH mom, 12:23:14 08/29/13 Thu Murray and the driving distance to it are listed inside the first reply to OP. (NT) -- Me, 04:47:03 08/30/13 Fri

Um. It's only Sunday? (NT) -- Patience?, 19:27:25 08/25/13 Sun It's both days. Champs on Sat, & solos on Sunday (NT) -- On the website, 19:46:33 08/25/13 Sun I am pretty sure the poster was referring to the fact that today is only Sunday, and it's customary to post schedules by the Wednesday night prior to the feis, so it's a little soon to be asking for it. (NT) -- just my guess, 19:50:24 08/25/13 Sun Yes, that was my point. Generally, according to the past, they have run by age order and comp level. Once in awhile, they have switched it up. They usually post a general time schedule on their webpage by Wednesday/Thursday. They have really stepped things up the past few years. (NT) -- It is still early in the week, 21:28:29 08/25/13 Sun Yes, but the OP may have referred to the syllabus on the website which said that a schedule would be posted one week before. (NT) -- A little patience all the way 'round, 09:33:18 08/26/13 Mon I stand corrected. The site says "during the week before" . (NT) -- Sorry, 10:11:52 08/26/13 Mon Can't believe how rude first responder was... (NT) -- OP was just asking a simple question., 06:17:05 08/26/13 Mon I think at one point the web site said the times would be up one week ahead now it says the week of...maybe OP was referring to the first message? (NT) -- just a guess, 06:47:31 08/26/13 Mon Thought OP was sort of demanding, myself. Webpage always said week of. Days are already set for grades and champs. Agree with the above about patience. Most feis post schedule the Wed or Thurs before. (NT) -- asking patience is not rude, 07:16:18 08/26/13 Mon The website origionally stated "schedule will be posted the week before", then Sunday it was changed to "the week of...". So OP is correct. However if they are still accepting entries then Wednesday sounds more realistic. (NT) -- DM, 13:44:42 08/26/13 Mon But why assume she was being impatient? She could have just been asking as an out of towner who had no idea... (NT) -- Let's give people the benefit of the doubt. Kindness goes a long way :), 08:09:15 08/26/13 Mon Exactly, perhaps its their first time attending. I so agree that people are quick to snip and snap at others posts when a simple question was asked. They obviously did not have the answer so they should have moved on and not commented. (NT) -- Be kind, 08:13:22 08/26/13 Mon Why assume otherwise? If the poster was truly looking for information, then the poster should have worded it differently as many do. The post was abrupt and really didn't ask, when you look at it. -- for example, 09:04:52 08/26/13 Mon Its all how you read it. the problem with message boards is people read far more into a post then was intended. opened to interpretation. Quick question is all i took it as. Excuse me if I come across snarky or short. Guess all posts should come with a disclaimer (NT) -- no offense, 12:11:44 08/26/13 Mon Exactly. (NT) -- If you have nothing kind to say... :), 13:55:12 08/26/13 Mon Where is your outrage to the poster who rudely replied what would happen if it rained the day of the feis, and the reply was "get wet" far more nasty than asking patience. (NT) -- don't you think?, 14:21:06 09/01/13 Sun Why should there be outrage at a post obviously made in fun? The actual wording was "You get wet?" followed by a smiley face. Nothing nasty about it. (NT) -- -, 14:48:03 09/01/13 Sun They're up now...hidden next to the comp numbers... (NT) -- that was quick! :), 13:49:01 08/26/13 Mon Prelim and Champ schedule is up. (NT) -- DM, 14:45:23 08/26/13 Mon Does not before mean they will not start before the time stated? (NT) -- TIA, 18:42:11 08/26/13 Mon Yes, in case they're running early, they will wait until the posted time. (NT) -- :), 08:50:04 08/27/13 Tue I have been up and down the page and can't find a link to the schedule. Where do you all see it? (NT) -- blind, 12:04:08 08/27/13 Tue Never mind. I see times. I was looking for a link to a schedule. (NT) -- dense not blind, 12:06:38 08/27/13 Tue Just an FYI... Schedules are required to be posted a week before the feis by the NAFC (NT) -- Wasn't a crazy question, 14:23:43 08/27/13 Tue I help run a feis, and haven't ever seen that rule. Does the rule state gow specific the schedule must be? (NT) -- Learning something new, 15:10:47 08/27/13 Tue Where does it state that the schedule is suppose to be posted a week prior to the scheduled feis. The only info I truly found was that the judges are suppose to be posted 3 weeks prior to the feis. (NT) -- mom, 19:16:14 08/27/13 Tue There is no such rule. (NT) -- ..., 19:38:52 08/27/13 Tue Really??? I've served on our school's feis committee for over 10 years and I've never heard of this rule. I don't think there's any such rule. Please post a link to it. (NT) -- skeptical, 06:04:36 08/28/13 Wed Here are the NAFC dancing rules as per their own website. There's a rule about posting judges 3 weeks before but nothing about a schedule. -- hth, 09:36:29 08/29/13 Thu Posting of Judges Names -- feis chairperson, 15:31:07 08/29/13 Thu
