Roseville Big Band
Song List for the Carleton College
2004 Mid-Winter Ball Led by Glen Newton
WCS=West Coast Swing; ECS=East Coast Swing; SFT=Slow Fox Trot.
Songs crossed out were on the original list but were skipped due to audience
requests for other songs and adjusting the lineup based on what the dancers
seemed to want; songs in Italics were requests not on the original list.;
songs in bold type were new additions to the Roseville Big Band repertoire -
they were first performed by the Roseville Big Band at this dance.
