Dear ZandB
My daughter is finally competing at the prizewinner level and appears to have hit a speed bump as she is not placing well. When I asked what we needed to do to improve, our TCRG said my daughter needs more stage presents.
So what kind of presents should we buy? Do I get one for just the adjudicator or for the musician and stage manager too? I've never noticed any other moms giving stage presents, so I assume you have to be discreet about it. How do I make sure the adjudicator knows the present is from my daughter? How much should I spend?

Dear Distraught Feis Mom,
My daughter competes at the preliminary championship level and most of the parents give adjudicators ties as stage presents. This practice is so commonplace that mark sheets from champion level competitions often contain the disclaimer:
"Due to ties, you may not have placed as high as this report suggests!"
Hope this helps!
