The Festival was lively, the food delicious. Some more hands on activities would really make it a fun-filled, family friendly day!\n");
document.write("
\n");
document.write("
The show length was perfect. The videos, so focused, really excellent. The theme tied the whole night together. The length of the medley was great- not too long, not too short. While the vocals were great, the songs selected could have been more energetic. I love that some risk was taken in presenting drama in a very different way from previous years. The children were adorable as always and the community dance finale was breath taking.\n");

Looking forward to lending a hand for next year!\n");

document.write(" Everything was perfect: the starting time, the mela, the program duration, the quality of the entertainment program, the execution of the entertainment program, the seating arrangement, the seat booking, and of course the quality of food at the mela and the educational value of the various booths. I was particularly impressed by the quality of the video presentation by Prithviji and Surekhaji, and the strong message it conveyed. Kudos to everyone, and keep up the good work. We need many more organizations like IFA in places that Indian expatriates reside in large numbers.\n");

document.write(" Archana 2010 was no doubt a grand success (as usual). It was flawless in terms of execution, entertainment variety, food, indian festival, etc. Thanks to all performers, program committee and others involved. We all had a great time.\n");
document.write("
\n");
document.write("
- Overall duration was perfect (less than 3 hours of performances). Program finished by 7.30pm which was good too. Gave us time for dinner and kids were still OK as it was not late night.\n");
document.write("
- Food was great and no long lines like last year which was good.\n");
document.write("
- Community Dance, Children Dance, Play, Invocation, "Jai Ho" song all came out very well. \n");
document.write("
- Backdrops, Effects, Color combination/coordination were really well done. \n");
document.write("
\n");
document.write("
On other side, improvements point of view:\n");
document.write("
1. Restroom signs/directions and some portable ones in Festival Area would have helped some seniors/visitors. \n");
document.write("
2. Performance Items have become predictable now. Element of surprise (from current presentation & overall quality) is missing from Archana. Major feedback from those who have stopped attending now. "Woow" factor was missing from any of the performances. \n");
document.write("
\n");
document.write("
Overall, it was a grand success and we all appreciate the efforts and hard work that goes behind these events. It was good to know that IFA collected $150k+ amount. Videos on various projects in India keep informing us about the great work that you all have been doing and compell us to keep coming year after year. \n");
