Nick's Notes:
1) First walked through (but not actually danced) at BACDS Fall Frolick on
10/18/2013.
2) First danced at BACDS Contra College on 11/10/2013.  Nick Cuccia was the
caller, as well as one of the (girl) dancers.  Nick used a Sides-Face Grand
Star (Sides-Face Grand Square with dancers doing a Star Thru when they meet)
break figure at the start, middle, and end.
3) Susan Michaels, one of the other dancers in the square, observed that the
there are a lot of line and box patterns in this square, and recommends a round
break (right-and-left grand to a partners trade and wrong-way grand, for
example) to complement the figure.
