<div>Just a reminder for the Guppy Gala demo this Friday evening, May 14th. It's open to the public from 6-8:30 pm and open to demo participants for set up and teardown outside those hours.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Several of the fighters at today's practice are planning to attend. You might want to give Richard (liaison between SCA and zoo) a heads-up that you'll be there <A href="mailto:syrrichard@yahoo.com">syrrichard@yahoo.com</A>.<br>

<div style="CLEAR: both">My usual partners in providing live music and dance (both demo and audience participation) aren't available for this year's Guppy Gala.</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both"> </div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">I have melody (flute) and percussion (coerced labor by the teenage son) covered. My hubby and I can fumble through leading some of the very easy [audience participation] dances that kids LOVE. We were thinking Horses Bransle, Tangle Bransle, and maybe Belle Qui (simplified).</div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">We certainly hope that some of the other demo participants will feel comfortable jumping in and dancing, too. </div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">If any of you would like to arrange a set of dancers who know any other dance, feel free! You'll need to either bring your own electronic music and player or contact me to make sure I have sheet music with the right repeat counts.</div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">If any musicians are comfortable with public sight-reading, please join me.<br>
