August 2023 Supplement 
In the last issue of BTM I presented an
article compiled by Mel Wilkerson (with
some additions from myself), that was entitled:
  Building a Night of Square Dancing 
  Around the Basic Choreography of Singing Call Figures
While the article was complete in itself,
Mel had also attached a heap of Singing
Call choreography that was just too large
for a single BTM issue.
All of the information in the article, as
well as the subsequent material
(contained in this supplement), was
originally presented in one of Mel’s
regular Sunday morning training session
via Zoom.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT NOVEMBER 2023 – LOOKING AT Zoom IN
DEPTH with GUIDO HAAS
Guido Haas (from Germany) sent this article to me last year. His original
formatting was in landscape mode, and I just could not get it to fit into
the regular format used in BTM. I asked Mel Wilkerson if he could have
a look and see what he could come up with. He spent quite a bit of 
time on the project, and completely re-formatted the entire document
to fit within the standard BTM structure.

Guido spent a lot of time in creating this presentation for everyone. 
He has often been on the Sunday morning (here in Australia) Zoom 
sessions originally presented by Mel (and now by Mark Hart) and is 
an extremely knowledgeable caller and teacher. Presentations such 
as this (looking at concepts, calls, ideas, in greater detail) are always 
welcome. There are times when I have split longer features into 
various parts in BTM’s regular issues, but for some, they do need
to be looked at and digested in a continuous format.

If you have anything that you think that could be a possibility for 
inclusion in these supplements, please send me a message and will see 
what I can come up with.
