Dronology: a short potted history of the bagpipes
VirtualFollowing up on the fabulous talk Katie Brady gave last month on the basics of bagpipes, piper extraordinaire Dick Hensold will offer "a short potted history of the bagpipes, as illustrated by several different types of pipe. And a few tunes, if desired. But not too many jokes. Really, not. Unless you make me." Not to be missed!
Check email for Zoom link information or email info [at] rscds-twincities.org. Note the 7:30pm start time.

(Virtual) Monday Night Class
VirtualFer will guide you through a review of the three-couple act of the performance repertoire. This will NOT be just for people who want to perform, nor will it be a Rehearsal. We're using the performance repertoire to generate the dances we'll try to envision as we try to get in a little vaguely Scottish Country Dancing-like movement. If we do get a chance to resume rehearsals or performing at any point, maybe this will serve as a reminder/jump-start. Or maybe those of you who have never performed will satisfy your curiosity about the kind of dances we perform. Once we're done moving, we can talk about what it's like to perform or tell stories about That One Performance, OMG! for the edification/amusement of all. Or maybe we'll all just get sweaty wandering around seemingly aimlessly in our living rooms to some really awesome music.

VirtualWe may not be able to travel in real life these days, but we can still travel virtually. Join us for a slide show featuring photographs of trips to Scotland by members of our group! This will be a lightening round-style format, with each contributor getting a few minutes to share up to five shots of their favorite -- or maybe just most memorable -- spots in Scotland.
