Another interesting variation is the band that wants to play a
melodic introduction, usually 8 beats. It's fine if you know it's
going to happen, but can be quite a shock if you're expecting 4
potatoes.
Gale, great to hear that the rest of the evening went well!
Congratulations.

Just a note to new callers...
When working with a new band it helps to very specific if you wish the
band to give you 4 beats as a setup
Before starting the actual dance. I worked with a fine band this past
weekend but unless I asked for four beats
Before each dance than they went right into the tunes and my timing
was
off.
In hindsight I should have coordinated this with the band before the
evening of dancing began.
Even with my slight gaffs the evening was a big success.
Thanks
