Our Christmas concert was Friday December 12 (2014) and was quite an experience. Again we learned an amazing amount about putting together performances. This time the dancers were part of the process. We began and ended with singing, and ended the first part with a långdans with singing and danced out of the salon to the fika. We again baked cookies and cakes for the fika and produced some wonderful treats.
Hee is the concert program. Tunes without a dance listed were played without dancing. Some tunes had everyone participating, especially to begin and end each set. Others had as few as three musicians. Two dances had only one musician.

Some of the treats we baked for fika. My moon cookies are to the left of the candles.
I was able to photograph a few dances in which I was not playing

Henrike and Lucy are playing Vill du Flygga. Andy was supposed to join, but was sick, so his cardboard image is on stage!
