The Dancing Bears Dance will be on Friday, October 9th at ROMIG Middle School. Students must be there by 6:45pm to set up and tune. The dance goes until 10:30pm, but younger students are welcome to leave half way through the dance. My dad and I have recruited some extra musicians to play with us.

I propose that we have a practice at the house on Saturday, October 3rd (let's say 1pm?) to work on playing tunes up to speed. Here are some tunes to practice for the dance (if you don't know some of these, don't be discouraged. You will only have to play the tunes you know and I will have music on stage for everything.):

Angeline The Baker / Rock The Cradle Joe

Kerry Polka / Britches Full Of Stitches
