The entire cultural committee appreciates your hard work and time for the FOI 2011.  

Please read the entire document carefully. Pass the information to the entire group and the parents.

The tentative schedule will be emailed by Sunday Oct 2 nd to all contact people as listed on the form.

Please check very carefully for performers being repeated in their items. They will have at least gap of 2 items to change in between their performances. Do not ask us to change the times for any other reasons. If you have paid extra to be on specific days, and the days are not correct, please do let us know immediately. Do reply by email as per instructions with the tentative schedule.

The final schedule will be posted on the web on Oct 4 th.

Please come at least an hour before the scheduled time and report near the stage. Then, do come by the stage with the entire group when it is at least three entries away. Failure to do so may loose your time spot and risking that item may not be allowed to be performed.

Those who have not filled out entry forms completely or have some changes with names are requested to bring printed note for the emcees with item and participants names at that time. Please collect your certificates immediately after the performance or before the end of cultural program on Sunday. Certificates will not be available after the Festival is over.  

If you need to practice on Hindu center stage between now and the Festival , please contact Anu and Murali Chemudupate at  cmsrini@yahoo.com .

Stage rehearsals will be available on Friday Oct 7 th , 2011 at the Richmond Convention Center after 5:00 PM till 8:00 PM on first come first serve basis. Please bring your own music player to play the CD at the time of rehearsal. As this is the only stage rehearsal time for the whole two days event, time is extremely short. Each group will be allowed to practice only once on the stage and for not more than 10 minutes . If your item is longer, please do not perform the entire dance. Please be respectful of other groups and their time. The stage needs to be vacated by 8:00 PM sharp.

Please give two regular formatted CDs with item name and contact person name as filled in the entry form to Sangita Patel on Friday Oct 6 th at the stage rehearsals. Please put only one track on CD. If the group doesn't want to come for stage practice, please send your marked CDs with someone from the group or give near the stage two hours before your scheduled time. CDs can be collected back near the stage after the final performance of the same item.

We wish all the best to all the participants.

Please continue to visit the web site for more updates. We look forward to the great show this year.
