[syr-contra-news] Syracuse Dance Schedule Update

[David Smukler]

Here's an update regarding our dance schedule with information through the
end of June. A note I sent last week contained a few unfortunate errors, but
this message has been triple checked for accuracy (thanks to our helpful
Board members).

We think we have a superb lineup this spring, including our third annual
contra prom, and one great band and caller after another.

A special treat you may wish to note is the Hommage Quebecois Reunion. Rich
Sobel and Margaret Mathews, musicians who were once local favorites at our
dance, have scattered to very different locations: Rich to British Columbia
and Margaret to North Carolina. Along with Peter Blue they used to play as
the band "Hommage Quebecois." Now the three of them are reassembling for one
weekend to make music like they used to -- a rare chance (perhaps an *only*
chance) to hear these fine musicians together again. Hommage Quebecois will
also be playing in Rochester and Ithaca in order to, ahem, practice up for
our dance on Saturday night.  ;-)  You may want to catch them all three
nights!

Remember, you can bookmark the Syracuse Country Dancers' webpage at
<www.syracusecountrydancers.org/>. Check it frequently to keep up with us.
