Last year the 200th anniversary of Hull's Victory had a lot of callers
featuring that fine chestnut.
Today marks the 200th for the battle of Sacket's Harbor (second of 2
anyway) so consider adding it to your program in the next week. I
called it last weekend to an enthused crowd.
Sackets Harbor
Formation: Contra, triple minor proper
Jigs: Steamboat Quickstep/I Lost My Love
A1-
Forward six and back
Circle left, 3/4 round (six hands,) gents face up and the ladies face down
A2-
Actives “down” the center, turn alone
Return, cast off
B1-
Turn contra corners and fall back into your own line
B2-
Forward six and back
Circle right, 3/4 round ( six hands)
In A2 the actives are actually moving across the hall as the minor
sets are rotated. If the stage is north, they move
west to east.
