Scheduled to appear at NEFFA 2020:
| Intro to Appalachian Flatfooting | TB Saturday April 25, 1:15pm to 2:20pm, Student Center West [show on grid] |
| Clogging / Flatfooting lets everyone be a member of the band. We’ll learn a few basic steps and learn to play with rhythm. Foot-stomping fun! |
| Learn a Haunting and Easy Cajun Fiddle Tune | TS Saturday April 25, 8:00pm to 8:50pm, Room 232S [show on grid] |
| These early pre-accordion twin fiddle tunes are sprightly, haunting and often quirky. Cathy will teach Devil on the Bayou as well as seconding (back-up) so participants can trade leads and back up. |
| Following the Fiddler: Of Rascals and Rogues | E Sunday April 26, 11:00am to 11:50am, Room 224E [show on grid] |
| The High Strung Strummers will explore the iconic fiddler through stories, tunes and ballads. In addition to musical entertainment, we will perform a Crankie story centered on the Fiddler figure in American lore. |
| Serious and Silly Squares | DS Sunday April 26, 1:00pm to 1:50pm, Upper Gym [show on grid] |
| Squares have twice as many people working together, compared to a duple-minor contra. This enables patterns of great beauty. It can also lead to major silliness. |
