TBDC 2009 June Dance
"Attitudes and Latitudes" is the theme for our dance June 27th. It will feature music by Jimmy Buffett, other southern rock, and island music artists. The Wolf Island Band will play two sets of mostly swing, NC two step, cha cha, rumba, samba, and even a waltz and bolero from Jimmy Buffett. Before the band starts and during their break our DJ, Dan Davis, will play other music so that we will have a good mix of dance music.
The dance will be held at First Presbyterian Church, 400 W. Jefferson Street in Tupelo, Mississippi. It will begin at 7:00 p.m. Having a live band incurs extra cost, so there will be no free passes. Entrance for TBDC members is $5. Entrance for all non-members is $10.
John and Lee will be grilling burgers and supplying buns and condiments. TBDC members, please bring baked beans, slaw, potato salad, desserts and other foods which go great with burgers if it is convenient for you to do so.
