Information for Bands and Callers
We dance the first and third Friday of most months. We have a very enthusiastic, cross-generational group. We almost always have newbies show up and have a solid core of experienced and gracious dancers who welcome them and help them out. You will be appreciated and, I am confident we will all have fun!
We pay $80 per band member up to a maximum of $320 for the band. We pay an additional $80 to the caller. If you drive for more than two an hours to reach us, we will pay an additional $5 per hour per vehicle round trip for the drive. (Please carpool!)
Let us know in advance your drive time; using Mapquest for the travel time works well.
If you need assistance with lodging, let Ann Birdseye know (see contact details below).
Our sound tech, McCormick Emge, arrives at 6:30 to open up the venue and set up the band and caller.
The dance begins at 7:30 with a beginners' walk-through and ends at 10:30.
