This Friday, Jim and I will be at the Caller and Dance Lab in Ann Arbor. This is a lot of fun, so if any of you would like to just do something different, come on out. The "workshop" part is from 7-8, with the dance at 8, where new callers can give it a try, and experienced callers can try dances just to see how they work out. The entire evening is FREE for callers and dancers alike, so there's another good reason to visit.
This month, the event is at Concourse Hall (4531 Concourse Drive, Ann Arbor, MI). For more information on this and other great local events, go to the AACTMAD site -- AACTMAD.
I'm hoping our voices are back for tomorrow, or we're definitely not going to be commended for following the tonal quality standard that was discussed last month!! We ended up coming down with awful colds, with all the coughing, throat-clearing and laryngitis. How lovely right before a calling night. We had to cancel our Golden Griffon rehearsal for tonight, too. Very sad.
We've also been working on lots of new tunes. One really nice tune that I'm polishing up on is "Cub" Berdan's Pacific Quadrille Figure 1. It's in 6/8 and key of G, with a nice lilt. We'll be playing this one soon for dances.
