Band:Concordance: Six local musicians with a mission to create concord on the dance floor. They aim to give you a treat for your ears, a beat for your feet, and a smile on your face. The band consists of Leith Davis on fiddle, Maureen Collier on flute, Ken Hamer on mandolin and percussion, Eileen Sterns on octave mandolin, tenor banjo, accordion, harp, hammer dulcimer (and whatever else she pulls out of her musical bag of tricks), Eric Hawthorne (Irish whistles) and Connie Balaz on piano.

Caller:Bob Rentz is a caller living in Burnaby, BC. He has been dancing since 1957, when he was in Grade 5. He learned the basics of calling from Marian Rose, and has been calling contradances since 1998. He loves contras, English country dances, and family dances.
