Speaking as a caller who made a mistake during his medley, it was
eternal. 8^)
Right now 6 dances repeated 6 times works out to roughly 19 minutes.
That's just enough time to get set up, form lines, recite the
warning/welcoming poem and be done in time to allow the bands to change
for the next set. 6 dances repeated 8 times is almost 26 minutes. That
doesn't leave any time for the band change.
Koren's idea of having two medleys in a session might be more practical,
but I have another concern: What about the musicians? It's a long time
to play and I've talked to some after playing for a medley and heard how
fatigued they are.
Happy Dancing!

I like some of those ideas. I would at least like to
see the 6 dances
each repeated 8 times, or 8 dances each repeated 6 times. Or maybe two
6 x 6 in a row. I just thought the whole thing was a bit too short.
