The Ball will be played by Reelplay (Robbin Marcus on piano, Dave Marcus on concertina), and special guest Paul Oorts on guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, accordion. 
Music at the afternoon practice session will be provided by Elke Baker and Liz Donaldson. The session will run from 2:00-5:00 pm at the Civic Center on the day of the ball and is included in the ball admission fee.
