Buffalo attendance has been down as well, however the last dance was up a bit. Many of our long-time good dancers are not coming. A suggestion has been made that the board contact them individually to discuss their MIA status, we have not made a decision as how to approach this as yet.
I do know that in some cases there are "opposing" great events on our dance nights and we loose our out-of-towners (those that travel to our dance) to those. There have been some family illnesses, travel etc. that have effected us as well.
One question that has come up among organizers and I wonder if others have had similar thoughts...is a particular band or caller keeping folks away? thoughts?
