AIFD White Board Replacement Debut
- Week 2
This week will be the second week of our debut the display of the playlist on a wireless TV screen, which will sit on the mantle above the fireplace. The screen will display the dance name, country, and type (line, couple, etc.). The dance playing will be highlighted, and it will also display several upcoming dances. We plan to run the pilot for a few weeks to get feedback from programmers, assistants and dancers as to its usefulness. We will then determine whether it will continue.
