3. A list of classic shag recordings will be made available to all Pro, Non-Pro, Seniors and Juniors to select from for their finals, Thursday night requirements record. The list was selected by many Disc- Jockeys in order of preference #1 - #25 and the top 173 comprise the list. The list will be on the website by August 22nd, 2007. Dancers may fax or e-mail their Thursday night letter of preference ASAP (prior to sending in their application). NO record will be danced to more than two times on that night. The first faxed or e-mailed times and dates will be the couples to use the record. This is to avoid hearing the same record more than twice. The selection form is listed below.

Shaggers!
Allow me this personal
privilege with an unrelated shag story. Sunday morning after the finals, I was
awakened by my youngest son, David calling from
Casey and his girlfriend had
just left the corner diner. She stayed behind to talk with friends as he waited
for her on the sidewalk in front of his apartment. He was hit by a speeding
pickup truck driven by a local news anchor. Police said the driver did not pass
their sobriety test, that he refused a breathalyzer and that he smelled strongly
of alcohol.
We see accounts of drunk
drivers every week. Recently a female in Murrells Inlet was arrested for hitting
and leaving the scene of an accident where a fifteen year old student was
killed. Hopefully you will not feel the pain and loss as Casey’s and the
fifteen year old victim’s family and friends are feeling.
Along with shag events comes some drinking. If you do, make sure you have a designated driver! Nothing original here! It will happen again and again! Just don’t let it happen to you as a driver. It is a guilt no one would want to carry.
