Times Flies When You're Reeling

Phew. And we're back. Sorry blog readers, but the Loch Mich class has been crazy lately. We're focusing on expansion in a big way, which doesn't leave much time for writing. Here are the highlights from the last few months:

This summer, a small segment of the demo team attended the Highland Games. We had live music by Tim Macdonald, participatory dancing heralded by the great people at the Clan Donald tent and a couple of demo dances in the grass in the clan area.





Once class got back in motion, we started off with our first monthly music night of the season, which was also a party in recognition of Tim Macdonald, who had recently won the National Scottish Fiddle Championship. 

A longtime dancer, Rachel, also departed over the summer. She left for Cambridge, where she will be completing a fellowship, tromping all over the grass, and researching just what English people keep inside their heads. 

Finally, we are planning a special event on Sunday, October 26th. We will have a Masque Dance for Halloween with live music by Tim Macdonald and a new member of our unofficial historic Scottish music fan club who also happens to be a baroque bass player for the Lyric Opera. We hope to see everyone there (and more info will be coming round to you shortly).
