Last year the 200th anniversary of Hull's Victory had a lot of callers featuring that fine chestnut.
Today marks the 200th for the battle of Sacket's Harbor (second of 2 anyway) so consider adding it to your program in the next week. I called it last weekend to an enthused crowd. Sackets Harbor Formation: Contra, triple minor proper Jigs: Steamboat Quickstep/I Lost My Love A1- Forward six and back Circle left, 3/4 round (six hands,) gents face up and the ladies face down A2- Actives “down” the center, turn alone Return, cast off B1- Turn contra corners and fall back into your own line B2- Forward six and back Circle right, 3/4 round ( six hands) In A2 the actives are actually moving across the hall as the minor sets are rotated. If the stage is north, they move west to east.
