Hey folks,
I wonder
what people's thoughts are on end-of-the night thank-you's
for a contra dance.
Folks you
might thank or call-out for applause:
Band
Caller
Organizers/volunteers
Sound
person
I feel like
a lot of places go band->caller->sound person;
hopefully thanking the volunteers at the announcements.
I can see
doing the final band thank you right after the band gets to
play their big closing number for the evening. Everyone's
amped up, call out the band and then tack the other ones on.
But I think
about the theater, where at the end of the performance the
performers come out for bows. There, it's usually
chorus->supporting->main cast; and by that system I
think we should thank the band last. But usually in theater
when all the cast is on stage they give a thank you and wave
to the tech crew and director. Which would imply
caller->band->sound+organizers.
Just
wondering what folks' thoughts were on the subject.
Happy
dancing,
Luke
