Dear MHG Feis attendees –

 

Thank you for attendance on Saturday at our Feis. 

 

We would like to thank you for your patience as due to power outages, National practices, graduations, and having our webmaster teacher out of town ... it took us alot longer than planned to get the results posted.  Thanks for your patience.  Here are the results of all the competitions from the 2011 MHG Feis:

 

First Feis

Beginner I

Beginner II

Novice

Prizewinner

PC and OC Solo Competitions

PC and OC Championship Results

 

Many of you shared your appreciation for our efforts in hosting an event that offered advance scheduling, increased seating at each stage, plentiful camping space, rotating judges and musicians, international and out-of-region judges and good-sized competition numbers and generous awards.

 

We had more than 55 dancers perform at their first feis and it was wonderful to welcome them!

 

Thank you to our feis committee organizers and volunteers who invested more than 800 hours in planning and executing the feis. We are very grateful to our fabulous and supportive MHG families!

 

We also had our share of challenges on Saturday and the feis did not run as smoothly as we would have liked, or has in the past. Unfortunately, we had travel-related delays related to musicians, and some stage operations affected by illness. These factors affected timing at some of the stages as well as rotation of judges and our desire to rotate judges itself can cause stages to stop.

 

Please know that we already are evaluating how we can improve sound, scheduling, judge rotation and stage management for our Halloween Feis that will be held October 29, 2011.

 

Constructive suggestions are welcome at info@mullanehealyobrien.com .

 

We encourage you to come back and enjoy our Halloween Feis, which is always a favorite for dancers at all levels. We wish all dancers good luck during the summer feis season and, for those participating at Nationals – GOOD LUCK !!  

 

On behalf of the teaching staff of MHG and our volunteers -
 
 
Thanks
 
 
 
Gary Healy and Mike Mullane

Thanks,
