(*) - These three songs are the Nomore songs, out of these, only Nightswimming is played at every dance

(**) - These Dead Canon songs are starting to be played again some (just not always that much)

(***) - No longer Dead Canon. Being/Been played at every dance.

The only songs with an order are those of the High-Holy Canon. They are played in the order written above, at the end of every dance. (Other than the period of 2000-2003, Forever Young is only played at the last dance).

(Note: At Session 1, 2004, they misplayed the High-Holy Canon at the first dance. I personally cannot remember what they did wrong, but there was much turmoil as a result. -Steve Norum, Carlisle '03-1, '04-1, '05-2)

    (reply-note: there was a song cut short and everyone sat down. It was quite dramatic. -yoda, carlisle 2002-05 session 1)

Forever Young,

- AB (SomnusLupus)

Jump Jive and Wail was in there for a while, although they did not play it as a result of serious reorganization (e.g. mauling) of canon in 2005.
