BobL Tech: using tablet on stage (131* d) RE: Tech: using tablet on stage 26 Nov 14

My song repertoire is so limited that I can sing them all from memory. However, may I draw a parallel with calling dances?

I have over 5000 dances in my library, of which I've actually ever called about 800. Of these, I could probably do about 40-50 from memory, and maybe the same number again after a quick reminder. The rest I have to mug up as necessary. Unfortunately my mind has been known to go blank at critical moments...

    Rule #1 for callers: Know your material so well that you don't need a crib card.
    Rule #0: Always have your crib card to hand anyway.
