Country Dance Society RSCDS

Lees-McRae College
Banner Elk, North Carolina.

Thistle School XXXII from 12 through 15 July 2012,
during the week preceding the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.

The Thistle School of Scottish Country Dance provides instruction in the correct techniques and manner of Scottish Country Dancing, the historic and contemporary social dancing of Scotland. Teachers at the school are certificated by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS).

Thistle School XXXI was a time of reflection and sadness due to the death of Bobby Brown on 3 May 2011. Scottish Country Dancers around the world have enjoyed and been uplifted by the joy of his music. Bobby was an integral part of Thistle as our Master Musician. His legacy lives in our hearts and in the music of his apprentice musicians, some of whom formed a band called The Bobbies in his memory. Bobby must have been smiling down on them an offering encoragement as the band very ably played for us at Thistle School this year.

For the Friday night Gala, The Scottrish Accent, led by Laird Brown, offered up an exciting evening of dance music. Laird has preserved the Bobby Brown sound, but added his own variations. You may visit the band on the web site:
