Return of Perpetual Trophies II

Hello

Not everyone has responded to Patricia Finnegan's pleas to return the trophies. Here is one last shout-out. Ensure they are polished. Bring them no later than noon on Friday for Friday night and 11am on Sat for Saturday night. We stress over missing trophies every year and sometimes we haven't had the correct trophy to present.

The trophy room is called Nunavut and is on the 4th floor near the escalators. There won't always be people in there so if that is the case, leave the trophy with the costume consignment crew (check for signs as to where they will be) or leave the trophy in the competition halls as the stages are being built. Teachers will go around to collect anything left there.

On competition days, bring them side stage to the monitor - they will get them to us.

THANKS!

Feis America Magazine

Feis America magazine will be on-site this weekend with a table to introduce you to their magazine. They have kindly donated subscriptions for some of our competitors and have offered to provide a free commentary service wherein they endeavour to post recalled dancers and final results (subject to a reliable internet connection).

They haven't provided me with an exact web address for their blog but check their main website for a link. I suspect the info will be added here: http://blogsgate.com/feisamerica/feis-results-2

For the record, they are not allowed to post recalls before they are announced in the competition halls, and they are not allowed to post results prior to the official announcement either. Please don't bother them by asking when results will be posted. They will need to wait to get the information from our tabulators before they can post anything. Please be patient and remember that this service is free.

On the topic of recalls and results - the same advice applies to those of you at the event. Recalls will be announced the moment they have been printed off and double checked. Results will start when they are ready. Please do not bother the volunteers by asking when they will be announced. Everyone is anxious and excited but everyone will have to be patient.
