“Fluid”
could also mean that it moves quite a bit, so let’s say a student turns them down: they go through the waitlist and the next four people all quickly say “No thanks, i’ve already committed somewhere else,” and then they call your child. Your child was actually fifth on the list but they didn’t want to tell you that lest you refuse the waitlist offer, thinking they would never get down to number 5. They want to keep as many people as possible on the waitlist in case they need to dip deeply into it. Keep the faith! If it were me, i would call that festival and tell them “I understand i am on the waitlist/ i wanted you to know that I will accept immediately if called.” That gives them some measure of security knowing they have a sure thing, and it might just bump up your ranking.
