It could be fun to be A.d., head dance judge, head drum judge. It could be and should be. But.......... many times it's not. Everyone tries their best to run a fair contest. Try to select fair judges who are not related or close friends with any of the participants.
There is no possible way to please everyone. There is always at least one person who'll complain. Mainly becuz their kids didn't get in, they didn't get in, their drum didn't place where they think they should have.
Well, sorry folks. Ya can't win every time.
Nobody knows this better'n me. Sometimes I get something, sometimes I don't. I have a grand-daughter who listens to everything I say. She develops her thinking by what she hears from her parents, her g-parents, etc. What kind of example would I set if I complained everytime I don't place? We all get older. As I slow down, it happens more'n more. Not placing is getting more frequent. So what?!! I still love to dance. I ain't going to stop unless a serious health problem prevents me.
So what am I getting at? I prefer to dance. Sometimes I get asked to work. I turn some down just becuz.
It's good to just sit back, relax...................... and watch, listen to somebody else get dumped on by unsatisfied dancers/singers. Aye.Leave a comment:

i agree with the other ndngirl^^^^
i've worked alot of powwows and it was fun. actually it seems lately i am working more powwows than i dance so i'm going back to dancing for awhile. i love to dance and always have a good time especially since bringing my daughter out--because shes very enthusiastic about it all. i like to work the powwows just because i am usually working with my friends and we have a good time no matter what we do

I've done both and enjoy both. I think that it depends on the powwow and who you are going to be working with.Leave a comment:

Dance or head staff
In my personal experience it helps me and my family to know that I am a resource and a help to the committee by being head staff. On the other hand I have been to pow wows to just dance and it proved to be more work than being head staff. At least if your head staff you get the benefits of being head staff.

Would you rather dance or be on head staff at a powwow??
Just wanted to see how people feel about this. Would you rather dance at a powwow, or be a part of the arena staff? (such as head judge, AD, MC, head dancer, etc.)
And why?
I'll post my preference later.

I was honored to be asked this past weekend to be head lady for a powwow in February. It's not a huge powwow but a decent size and it is my first time being head lady. Giveaways around here aren't as common as they should be and they are never elaborate unless it is for someone's coming out or something...07-09-2009, 05:38 PM -
I just saw this head staff position at the Oneida powwow.
What do you think?
Should powwows include a Head Female Dancing judge? Why or why not?06-08-2005, 10:18 AM -
What would be your criteria for choosing head staff (Emcees, host drums, arena director, head dancers)?
Is knowledge and experience in the powwow arena your first consideration or is using them as a drawing card your first consideration?05-06-2009, 03:58 PM -
I have read complaints from people about how a certain committee or headstaff did this or did that.
I think if you are hosting a powwow in a region that has strong beliefs about how a powwow should be conducted. Then it would be better for committees to pick key headstaff from their...03-21-2006, 05:39 PM -
I am going to be head lady for the first time this september, 2 days after my 18th birthday. I am so honored by this, however I am not sure on what type of protocol to use for the give away. I know I am supposed to give to the AD, MC, Head Man, Host drum.. but who else.. and what type of gift ideas...05-18-2004, 09:00 AM
