From: SCVSDA Jubilee To: jubilee-update@scvsda.org Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 23:01:18 -0700 Subject: Preliminary Jubilee Program, Top Ten Callers 52nd Annual Jubilee 10-12 October 2008 in San Jose featuring Mike Callahan, Mike Jacobs, and Mike Kellogg http://www.scvsda.org/jubilee.html *** PRELIMINARY PROGRAM AVAILABLE ONLINE A draft schedule for the 52nd Jubilee is now available online. The expanded Jubilee program this year will include: * The familiar full Plus program running all weekend. * Additional hours of "Relaxed Plus". * Additional hours of Mainstream. * Special workshops for new/returning dancers. * A full-time Advanced hall (including all day Sunday). * An expanded Challenge program (C-1 through C-4). * More introductory rounds sessions. We will be using an additional hall this year, so we will be able both to increase the hours of various kinds of sessions and also upgrade the dancing experience for some of the sessions we've had in the past! The online version of our schedule includes "track" buttons to help you locate sessions based on your interests and experience. For example, recent Plus graduates can select the "Recent Plus" button to highlight sessions recommended for them. This schedule is still preliminary and subject to change, but based on past experience we expect it to correspond pretty closely to the final schedule. Check it out at: http://www.scvsda.org/jubilee-program.html *** TOP TEN CALLERS The SCVSDA Top Ten Callers are selected each year by vote of the dancers of SCVSDA member clubs, and the winners are invited to call at Jubilee. All ten of this year's winners have agreed to participate in Jubilee this October! The Top Ten Callers for 2008 (listed in reverse alphabetical order by first name -- not by number of votes) are: Scot Byars Roger Smith Rob French Kenny Carroll Keith Ferguson John Sybalsky Jim Osborne Harold Fleeman Eric Henerlau Bob Elling The Top Ten are being scheduled to call various sessions according to their availability. Specific assignments for them and for our Featured Callers will be added to the online schedule (see above) as more information is known, so check back for details! *** SAVE MONEY BY REGISTERING NOW The price of everything is going up, and Jubilee ribbons are no exception. But buying your ribbons early is a good way to save money. Through the end of June, you can still buy your ribbon at last year's pre-registration price! That's just $35 for a full weekend of dancing ($7 for youth under 18) -- Friday evening, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday including the evening "Die Hard Dance". And automobile parking (with in/out privileges) is INCLUDED in our ribbon prices at no extra charge!
