No, live music in a performance does not impact a performance score.

Because of the large size of the program, we are limited to where we can host FDF. Food, facility rental costs, service fees, AV and video production, staging, etc. add up. The package price is determined by the total expenses we have to keep the program running. Natural economic costs also increase each year, and what FDF cost 10 years ago is not what equivalent to today’s environment. Considering what families pay to attend FDF weekend is very important to the FDF Board of Trustees and Leadership. We try very hard to work closely with our vendors to make sure we are getting the lowest possible price for the highest quality services.

The FDF schedule is built around the schedules of individual musicians and the amount of dance groups within each parish to ensure that shared musicians and groups from the same parish do not perform at the same time. This is why accuracy on Group Roster Forms and Performance Forms, and immediate notice of any changes are essential.
