The Roseville Big Band performed in the Great Hall, as we have done since 1994.
The Lynn Deichert Swing Band (trumpet, sax, guitar, bass, drums, vocal) played
below us in the Sevy Tea Room, as they have for a number of years. The DJ team
Salsa Magic performed in the Great Space.
Songs we have ready in case they are requested:
The per-set formula Carleton requested in 2000: 1-2 waltzes,
1-2 tangos, 1-2 cha-chas, 1-2 rhumbas, 1 meringue/mambo/salsa/W.C. swing, 5-7
