Here's the program I devised for our Halloween class on  Sunday  October  31,
2010.  The class starts at 6:30 at the Church of Our Savior, 25 Monmouth St.,
Brookline.  Most of the dances have appeared in  past  years  when  you  have
played for me.

1) The Loch Ness Monster 4x32R; A circle dance for "warm-up". Iain Boyd, Happy
   To Meet -3.

2) The Mad Hatter 8x32J for 3 cpls. Iain Boyd, Happy To Meet -9.

3) The Magic Airt O' Gow 8x32S for 2 cpls. John Drewry, Rondel Book -6.

4) Ferla Mor 8x32R for 3 cpls. John Drewry, Deeside 1 -8
   I might have to substitute the easier extra if I think the dancers are not
   up to this.  But I might ask the newer dancers to sit this one out.

5) Ghosts and Goblins 4x32J for 4 cpls.
   Karen Lavallee-Tente, Northampton 20th Anniversary Book -16. This is a new
   one  and  rather "spooky" since the devisor indicates the inactive couples
   wave their hands overhead as trees in the wind during bars  1-16  and  the
   1st  lady  says  "BOO"  to her partner at bar 8.  There are also "ghostly"
   reels of 3 on the sides where the  1st  couple  closely  shadows  the  4th
   couple.   Then  in  the  next phrase (down the middle & up) the 1st couple
   knocks on a wall or virtual door ("Trick or Treat") on bar 28.  I  have  a
   door-knocker  and  may  be  able to provide some percussion for this.  The
   devisor says feel free to be silly with this  dance.   She  suggested  the
   recorded  Music:  "The  Old  Spedling Castle's Ghost's Dance (track 12) on
   GreenGinger's Gang on the Same Gate (KSCD004),  but  choose  anything  you
   think will work.

6) Sugar Candy 8x32S for 3 cpls. RSCDS Book 26-9

7) The De'il Amang the Tailors 8x32R for 3 cpls. RSCDS Book 14-7

8) Closing waltz

Extra:
   Galloway House 8x32R for 2 cpls. Graded Book-5.
I'll do this easy dance in place of #4 or if time permits an extra.

Please let me know if this is satisfactory  to  you.   This  Fall  we've  had
anywhere  between 6 dancers to 2 four couple sets.  I will be away in Arizona
from October 15 - 24.  Thank you very much.
