Actually, I noticed that after the fireworks display was over, about 100+ 
more people showed up to dance, and then danced for the rest of the evening.  I 
mean, there were so many dancers on the floor for petits vriens that there 
really was hardly space to breath, let alone move.  I have heard a runour that 
there will be no fireworks display next year, also.  The students in my ball-prep 
classes all agreed that having the ball Friday was much better than Monday 
because then they had more time to actually learn the dances for the Ball, and I 
personally liked the reduced crowd.  It meant that there was actually a 
semblance of space for dancing some of the dances, and that eye contact was 
possible even during separation sequences of certain dances.  Personally, I much 
preferred having the Ball Friday...(but then, you could probably tell that by the 
above commentary... :-)

p.s.I vote for Lyev as next year's organizer!
