Advanced & Challenge Callers

[bjarvis]

One of my long-range headaches projects is planning towards our advanced & challenge fly-in (ACDC) for 2007 through 2010. Building attendance for this event in particular is something I've been obsessing on for a while and now that we've finished our MS-C1 fly-in for another calendar year, I'm shifting focus back to ACDC.

One of the big factors which will (hopefully) draw dancers to the event will be the array of callers. For ACDC, we typically have three full-time callers doing A2 through C4, with one part-time caller handling A2 through C1 or C2. So my question:
What caller would you be willing to fly across the continent to dance to?

In prior years, we've been using Ett McAtee, Linda Kendall, Saundra Bryant, Anne Uebelacker, Mike Jacobs, Barry Clasper, Geo Jedlicka, Ben Rubright & Vic Ceder, among others. This year, we feature John Sybalsky, Ett McAtee, Ben Rubright and Betsy Gotta.

Any recommendations of others who call to C4 and would draw some crowds?

We have some challenges along those ends, too. Although we're not hosting an A&C weekend, we've just confirmed that Vic Ceder is calling for our fly-in Oct 13-15 06 (as well as Kris and me). The intriguing part of this is that he's also calling for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta (str8) A&C weekend Oct 6-8, so he'll be vacationing in our land of enchantment for some of that period.

Although we absolutely don't want to slight the San Diego West Coast A&C weekend, Kris and I are hoping to promote the (str8) A&C weekend before ours...numbers have dwindled mightly over the years as people have moved on to other activities. This year this A&C did have a couple of C2 sessions, but last year there weren't any.

So we'll see what shakes out of this here out west.
