Re: [Callers] easy dance to Wizard's walk ?

2018-04-12 Thread Ron Blechner via Callers
Any of the "march to the center and balance the wavy line of (insert role
here)" dances fit pretty well for easy Wizard's walk dances.

In dance,
Ron Blechner

 Does someone have dance choreography for an easy contra that goes well
 with Wizard’s walk tune?

 I know there was a “Grumpy” longways family dance written to go with it.

Re: [Callers] Handheld mic advice

Harbor Freight has a line of waterproof hard side equipment cases which are
reasonably priced, rated well and feature foam inserts which can be custom
fitted to gear. I routinely see coupons to get the large one at ~$30.

Re: [Callers] Handheld mic advice

   I got a Shure BLX a couple of months ago to replace my 20 year old 
Shure wireless handheld.  It has worked fine so far.  I opted for the 
more expensive 2 channel receiver and got a wireless head set as well as 
the handheld unit.


   Now I need a carrying case to put everything in.  Does anyone have 
any recommendations on cases?

Hi,
I need some advice. My wireless mic (Shure PGx2) has finally died - a 
problem with the on/off switch. I sent it to Shure but they said it was 
was too old to repair. Rather than buying through a cheap online site 
like I did last time, which might be why it seems to have broken and 
gone out of date so quickly, I went to the Shure website to look at new 
ones. Two that seem to look a lot like my old one are below. Can anyone 
recommend which might be better for calling, or another handheld 
wireless mic that you’d recommend more?
