This is about the *end* of the pandemic shutdown, getting out to dance with
people. It's a happy dance.  As might feel a bit like a fanfare or a parade,
the Bs need an open and airy feel with some drive but not too fast.
I'm not committed to AABB but the action of A2 really repeats A1 so the music
should at least be similar or it'll be misleading; a 16-bar B with differing 
levels of intensity / note density (higher for bars 5-12) could be good.


A1
1-4: 2s gate 1s down the middle 1.25 to line of four facing down.
5-8: Line leads down, and fall back bending.

A2
1-4: 1s backing up strongly gate 2s up the middle 1.25 to line of four 
     facing up.
5-8: line of four up, fall back bending

B1
1-4: 1s cross, go below, hole in the wall cross to progressed proper side
              while 
     2s meet, lead up, ease out to sideline
5-8: circle left all the way

B2
1-4: Double mad robin, first diagonals forward first (following momentum of
     circle)

5-8: 1s right shoulder round to finish facing each other in the sideline 
  WHILE
     2s long back to back.

(all take near hand with next neighbor, 2s continue backing to start the gate.)
