We are so excited to get ready for the 2012 Raleigh Feis which is less than 3 weeks away!! New this year... First Feis in light jigs for all ages, feis app to aid with stage tracking called "What's My Stage On?", and adult comps on Friday with fabulous new awards. Don't forget about our Maureen Harling Charity Reel special where you are the choreographer - let those creative juices flow and create reels with personality. We are in the beautiful Raleigh Convention Center again for the 2nd year, so come on over to Raleigh and get in one more Feis before Oireachtas entries are due!!!!!
With the best of intentions, we had hoped this blog would be written by our families. Alas, the year has gotten away from us without our very first post. We all know how busy we get. So I'm going to share one of my favorite feis memories of the year... I think all of us will remember the ROI feis for one very special reason. This was the feis that one of our dancers won her prelim but she couldn't stay for awards. Her father was the brave soul who went on stage to accept for his daughter and to the crowd's chants, he reluctantly took the podium and wore the sash. There were cheers and tears as the crowd went wild, especially the Inis Cairde dancers who were so happy to support their fellow dancer. It's just not always about winning.
