Yes, years ago I traveled with the Contra Bandits to a Knoxville dance weekend. (At least I think it was Knoxville...) The band wanted to play The Liberty Bell. I thought it needed a 4-beat thing at the end of every part, like a balance. I half succeeded...

Flying Circus
Becket
Erik Hoffman

A1    Pass Thru to an ocean wave (4), Balance (4)
         Partner Allemande Right 3/4 to long waves (Men face out – Left hand with first Shadow)(4), Balance (4)
A2    Allemande Left first Shadow 3/4 to wave with Men in the middle (4), Balance (4)
         Walk forward to wave with Parnter in left hand (4), Balance (4)
B1    Men pull by with Right to a Neighbor Swing
B2    on the Right Diagonal: Women chain--to second Shadow (8);  Partner Swing  (8) ("fall into your Partner’s arms")

I believe Eric Hoffman has a dance called Flying Circus.  I worked with a band several years ago to play Liberty Bell March - it was a lot of fun

One MWSD caller I know likes to use John Philip Sousa's "Liberty Bell"
March -- aka the theme from Monty Python.  I find that somewhat
distracting as I keep expecting to hear the *STOMP*.
