Whether it’s your first year attending Pinewoods or you really are coming “back to the Highlands”, we are so excited to have you here for !a wonderful week of dancing, music, and friendship. This year we’re letting ourselves take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy a quieter summer. There will still be plenty of opportunities to dress up (how will you costume your favourite tune?), but we invite you to focus on the roots of this hobby. Enjoy discussing your favourite Great Scots from history during the Session 2 Costume Dance. Take tea with her majesty the queen during Session 1. Sip your morning coffee while looking out over the foggy banks of Long Pond…well, unless that good !weather we ordered arrives on time! As you’re planning your adventure, please use this Gazette to keep track of the classes and the schedule for each day. There’s a lot of important information we’ve packed into this little booklet- from which camper teachers are offering “potpourri” classes to enhance your general dance knowledge, to what time you need to leave at the end of !Session 2. (10:00. It’s 10:00AM. Please leave on time.) The Gazette also has information about the rules and regulations of Pinewoods camp. We’re lucky enough to be able to come here each summer because the marvelous Pinewoods crew keeps things running. Additionally, a huge number of people throughout the Boston branch have shared their time, creativity, and sanity with your poor co-chairs to help this session be great. We’ve named as many as we can remember in the list at left, and offer our deepest apologies to anyone !we’ve forgotten. Thank you all. Above all, please take this great opportunity to reach out and try something new. Learn a new board game on the porch, exchange addresses with a new pen-pal, try a dance you’ve never seen before! Pinewoods camp is very much what you make of it, so reach out and see what new opportunities you can find this year. ! Katarina Dutton, Laurie Somario, and Ellen Scannell-Woods Co-Chairs, Pinewoods 2019 ! ! Gazette designed and created by Katarina Dutton. Please report any errors you find - you could be eligible to win a free eel! Pinewoods Camp Rules and Policies ! Campers are responsible for abiding by all Pinewoods Camp regulations. Please read and follow the full list of regulations found in your camper !packet (on back of the map) or posted in all bathrooms. Pinewoods Camp reserves the right to remove any camper who knowingly does not follow these regulations, or whose actions or behaviors endanger the health !and safety of other campers, camp facilities or the camp environment. ENVIRONMENT: Pinewoods Camp is very fragile. Stay on the designated paths. Do not use soap or shampoo in the ponds. Please limit water usage - !particularly the length of showers. !AUTOMOBILES: Keep cars in their assigned spots; do not drive around camp. WILD ANIMALS: Do not feed them! Please be sure cabin doors are latched at all times so they will not come in and explore your cabin. Please empty your trash !each morning. SMOKING: Smoking is permitted only in two designated areas; ashes and butts !must be deposited in the cans provided. Smoking in cabins is not permitted. DANCE PAVILIONS: To maintain the quality of the dance floors, no food or drink (except water) is permitted inside the pavilions. Please do not dance in the !same shoes you are walking in around camp. Grit on shoes damages the floors. AMPLIFIED SOUND AND LATE NIGHT NOISE: After 11 pm end the activities in C# and turn off amplified sound. After midnight move all dance and music activities indoors (this means off of porches), with pond-side doors and !windows closed. We like our neighbors, and want them to like us! CELL PHONE AND LAPTOPS: Cell phone use is prohibited in all public spaces, including all dance pavilions, dining hall, paths between buildings or the Camphouse. Please be considerate of other campers and their desire to retreat !in the woods away from your laptop computer/tablet use. SCENT POLICY: Pinewoods Camp is working to create a safe environment for those with chemical sensitivities. Please use only fragrance-free deodorant while at camp, and do not use perfumes, colognes, or scented/essential oils. Additionally, no scented products should be used in the Paris 1 bathroom and shower. Thank you for your care in this matter. Boston Branch Participation Policies ! Classes and events sponsored by the RSCDS Boston Branch are intended to be pleasurable occasions for learning and enjoying the performance of Scottish country dancing. To foster those goals and to ensure the safety of all, the Branch expects that everyone attending its events will conduct themselves courteously and with appropriate respect for other !participants. Physical contact and flirting are integral parts of Scottish Country Dancing, but it is important to be sure that everyone involved is a willing participant, both on and off the dance floor. If someone is making you uncomfortable by touching you, flirting with you, making suggestive comments, following you, etc., you are encouraged to inform the event organizers or any member of the Executive Committee, who !will address the issue. The RSCDS Boston Branch reserves the right to expel from an event any person who is unable to conform to these standards or whose behavior is determined by the event organizers or the Executive Committee to be offensive, dangerous, or disruptive to the enjoyment of the event by other participants. If a person is required to leave an event for any of these reasons, no refund of registration or other fees will be made. Repeated offenses, or individual blatant and deliberate offenses, may result in a ban from future Branch events at the discretion of the !Executive Committee. Massachusetts law prohibits the consumption of alcohol by anyone under age 21 and imposes severe penalties for supplying alcoholic beverages to such a person. It is the stated policy of the Boston Branch to ensure that participants in the events it sponsors comply with Massachusetts law. Participants in Branch events who consume alcohol in violation of Massachusetts law may be denied participation in the event or in future events. Anyone over age 21 who supplies alcohol to or otherwise enables its consumption by participants in Branch events who are under 21 violates Branch policy and, as a consequence, may be denied participation in Branch events. Class Descriptions! For further information about timing and location,! please consult the daily schedule During the first class period, we are offering four different technique classes. Please consult the formation lists on the opposite page to help identify the class that would provide the most enjoyment for both you and your fellow dancers. ! Fundamentals: Tonight’s Easy Dances: This class is for dancers who would like to practice the steps and formations involved in the easier dances on the evening program (those marked with a [E] in this Gazette and on the posted programs). The goal is to help participants enjoy those dances and to assist them in improving their technique, while learning the Easy dances. This class !is taught by the evening MC. Intermediate: Technique and Repertoire: The goal of this class is to improve performance of the steps and formations in List One (see right), to introduce those from List Two, and to refine transitions. Dancers will also have the opportunity to explore the social aspects of dancing, such as teamwork, handing, eye contact, musical phrasing, deportment, and !covering. Advanced: Technique Focus: This is a physically demanding class that expects a high level of proficiency in dancing. Participants should be able to execute all steps and formations in Lists One and Two (see right) at a high standard, and perform smooth transitions. While polishing all aspects of individual techniques, teachers will also introduce more advanced or unusual !material. Advanced: Repertoire Focus: This class is geared toward dancers with an advanced level of knowledge and experience.

  • Index of John Drewry's Dances
    Index of John Drewry's Dances DRAFT: Last Revised on October 30, 2018 © Scottish Country Dance Teachers' Association (Canada) Index of John Drewry's Dances FOREWORD John Drewry was born on the 14th of July 1923 in Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. Sadly, he died on the 18th of June 2014 in Aberdeen. He was 90 years old. John's legacy includes a collection of dances that number more than 800, which he bequeathed the copyright to Teachers' Association (Canada) (hereafter referred to as TAC). TAC's first action has been to create a comprehensive list of all dances written by John Drewry. Our second action will be to prepare, for sale, all of the dances in digital format. As you can imagine, this is a huge undertaking with more than 800 dances on the list, so it will take some time. Our aim is have each dance available individually, as part of a collection of dances from a particular source, and finally, as the complete collection. A project of this size and scope does not happen at the hands of only one person. The TAC executive would like to thank everyone who has had a hand in organizing, printing, cross checking, providing missing copies of dances, and of course, all of the typing. We would especially like to thank Betsy Brydon, Barbara Johnston, Anne Miller, Fiona Miller, Paul Miller, Mary Murray, Ron Wallace, Stephen Webb and Vicky Zeltins for their work on this project so far. There will be many more opportunities for more people to get involved as time goes by and requests will go out by email or through TACTalk at the appropriate time.

  • Book 2 of the Structured Learning Guide of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association
    SECOND EDITION 1993 PREFACE It is with very real pleasure that I introduce Book 2 of the Structured learning Guide of The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. The growing international popularity of Book 1 in the series is positive proof of the acceptance of the clear concise teaching methods being used in the education programme now introduced. Pipe band enthusiasts all over the world are due a debt of gratitude to the members of the team of diligent, talented personnel who have created and presented this comprehensive and imaginative learning aid. This debt will be amply repaid by the conscientious use of Books 1 and 2 and by the subsequent attainment of a higher standard of performance of Pipe Band Music. E. Sturgeon PRESIDENT - 1 INTRODUCTION The Music Board of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association is delighted to present Book 2 in the Structured Learning series which covers the revised curriculum of the Intermediate Certificate course. We believe that this second publication provides a well balanced and coherent framework of learning material against which students can further develop their musical competence in piping and drumming. The successful presentation format which was established in Book 1 has been continued and built upon to ensure continuity of the learning process. It also maintains the capability of the material for use in a distance learning mode where the student has limited or perhaps no access to formal instruction. A key objective of the Music Board is to offer musical education of the highest quality and to support this by the provision of appropriate learning resource material which will be available to the membership of the Association and to the many Affiliated Associations throughout the World.
