We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. Below
are a few housekeeping notes to keep the day
running smoothly.
1. PARKING is limited at the high school. Please carpool if at all
possible. You may park ONLY within marked spaces in the school lot;
no one may park on the grass or at the curb. We are required to have local
police assigned to our event, and they will ticket or tow illegally parked
vehicles. If you must park on the surrounding streets, please observe all posted signs.
There is an overflow parking lot at the Harding Elementary School,
adjacent to the high school. If there is no parking left at the high
school, you should turn left out of the high school parking lot
onto Washington Ave, turn right onto 19th Street, then right on
Boulevard and right on 18th Street. The elementary school lot is on the
left. Note: it’s not as far as it sounds – the winding route is due
to one-way streets.
We ask that any buses please park at the elementary school lot after dropping
their passengers at the entry door.
2. No Camping on either side of any doors leading to the
gyms, including those marked “No
Entry” or “Committee Access Only” – these doors are kept closed due to stage
placement, however are used throughout the day by the feis committee. It is
also a fire code violation, so belongings found blocking any doors will be
moved.
Chairs should not be placed in either gym, and blankets are
not allowed anywhere in the venue, to allow space for spectators and
for people to travel safely between rooms. Please be considerate of
families trying to watch their dancers, and of dancers trying to line up at
each stage.
3. Used Costumes may be placed for sale in a designated area that will be
monitored. As requested by the venue, nothing may be hung on the
walls or lockers in the hallways. The fee is $5.00 per dress or
vest/jacket or 3 for $10.00, payable in cash or check to DeNogla-Ardmore only.
The appropriate paperwork will be located onsite. Unattended costumes found hanging around the building will
be placed in a lost & found area.
4. Hard Shoe dancing is not allowed on the uncovered wood
floors in either gym. We regret that there is not adequate space for a practice
stage, however if the gym floors are damaged we will lose the privilege of
renting this venue. We also ask that dancers not practice in the hallways
where the floors are not
safe. We are required by the fire marshal to keep the halls clear.
5. Food and Beverages will be available for purchase. No
coolers are permitted in the building. Please do not camp in the hallways or cafeteria, as seating there is limited. Also, please
do not attempt to "reserve"
tables; unattended items will be removed.
6. Dancer Check In will be side stage at least 1/2 hour before each
competition. We will proceed as scheduled, and if you miss your
rotation you will not be allowed
to dance.
7. Championship Awards will be held in the cafeteria. Award times will be
posted for each competition just outside the cafeteria 10-15 minutes prior to announcing results.
Dancers should be in costume for awards.
8. Marks for
Solo Competitions will be available online
after the feis, through your FeisWeb account.
Good Luck to all competitors!
Thank you,
DeNogla-Ardmore Feis Chairpersons
