third annual kingswood family ceilidh nights

KINGSWOOD FAMILY CEILIDH NIGHTS
Come and join us in our celebration of Nova Scotia culture as we host our seventh annual Ceilidh on the evening of
Wednesday, May 13th from 6:00 until 8:00. This event will be the culmination of our study of Nova Scotia Musical
Culture and will feature a live band playing the jigs and reels and a professional set caller to keep your toes pointing
in the right direction. The children have enjoyed learning some traditional set dances and would now like the
opportunity to teach you.
A Ceilidh is a unique all ages family dance. The idea is to dance with your children and friends from the community.
Have no fear if you have never danced set dances. The caller will walk you through the dance first before the band
kicks in. Set dances do require a lot of room, so unfortunately there is a limited number of people we can
accommodate and thus the two nights.
There will be a $10.00 per family charge for the dance to help pay the professional musicians Mr. Jackson has to hire.
Any additional profits will go to support music program enhancements for students.
A “family pass” can include any older or younger siblings who may not attend our
school and perhaps a grandparent or two as well. Please note all children must be
accompanied by an adult. What we need for our planning is to know how many
family members are going to come.

 Rather than sending tickets home, we ask that families check in at the door on Ceilidh night, where
your family name and number attending will be listed and will be checked off when you arrive. Any
remaining payments owing can also be made at that time. Please
As always, if the cost is prohibitive to any family’s attendance, please contact our principal, Camelitta
MacIntyre, in confidence and the cost will be waived.
