Kakeeya,

Thank you for asking. *L

Six from Fo_Sizza's list, 3 from sltate's list and 3 from Two Cent's list.

I tried to recommend popular powwow staff from all four-directions (up, down, all-around and backwards *L j/k). We have all the individuals and drum groups picked and they have all called in to confirm. Now we just have to get them confirmed "from the powers that be."

We will be advertising heavily real soon!

Everybody has great suggestions so far! Remember, this is your personal dream head staff.


Keep them coming!

I based my choices on how well, I have seen these people work with committees, keep the powwows on time and running smoothly, seem respected by peers and public. Look like they are having the time of their life working their A$$es off. :) I didn't write down my 2nd or 3rd choices, because this is the "dream team."

Theres two names on the poster from my list
The committee emailed me a poster, I can email to you if you want. They're sending me a bunch of posters to pass out around my neck of the woods. Looks like an awesome powwow, I already bought my airline ticket and made my room reservations.....

MC's : (S) Hammond Motah - cause he's very entertaining and always stresses fairness in contest judging.
(N) Dale Old Horn - cause he keeps the powwow running smoothly, professionally and has a good MC voice.
(C) Curtis Assinaboine- cause he's down to earth and been in this powwow cirlce for a long time and is very knowledgeable about singing and dancing as well as the spiritual aspects of the real meaning of powwow.

Host drums : (S) Cozad, (C) High Noon/Stoney Park, (N) Midnight

Head dancers: Yvette Goodeagle/Thomas Goodeagle or
Sandy Tate Nevequoa/Lewis Cozad

Head Judges: (N) Jim Redeagle/Maryann Higheagle
(S) RG Harris/Delaine Snowball

AD's : (C) Tim Eashappie - worked w/him before very good, very fair.
(N) Jonathon Windyboy - he's pretty fair and know's everybody in the powwow world?
(S) RG Harris - who else, he knows the southern circut and the northern circut.

all three are professional dancers, their efficient, and fair to everyone, in my opinion.

Color guard : anyone that has been mentioned they always do a good job regardless.

this is my dream team, majority of head dancers mentioned already have experience in that capacity, but there's always room for more.
