To all our student callers Heike King, Village Gold Bears e. V. Heiner Fischle's dictionary defines the entry "Caller(s) from the floor" as follows: "At some events the callers present as guests will have the opportunity to call a tip. ….." I myself have been allowed to enjoy this offer many times since the beginning of my life as a caller in 2002. Only too well do I remember the times when the flyers said "Callers from the floor". I was so nervous that I could not get the needle on the record, let alone remember who started dancing with whom. It made a difference whether to stand in front of one's own club mates or on a stage at a special dance. Where do the new callers come from, when we hear them too seldom? I consider this part of the program to be very important. This is the only way "new voices" can be heard. To all our student callers: Have the courage and enjoy presenting yourselves at "Callers from the floor". Snap at the chance offered to you and get out on stage. I would like to support you. Will we see each other at the "Kräuterfest"? Transl.: Helmut Reitz |
