Meanwhile, our Dulcimer Building class, led by John Huron, was making great progress on their new dulcimers…
Evening jam sessions, led by staff, took place each night in the lobbies of Reynolds and Harrill Residence Halls...
The good music motivated Kate Taluga and others to dance to the jammin'.
Which led to a contradance, with Marsha Harris and Kate calling...
Thursday night’s Participants’ Open Stage found the performers welcomed by an enthusiastic, warm audience…
who were treated to some lovely music from lots of accomplished participants, including Janet Nieburg from Florida...
Gilbert Mathieu of Ontario, Canada…
the ladies from Louisiana, who played the New Orleans march “Second Line,” which brought on a group of impromptu revelers from the audience…and many other fine players of whom we do not have photos. 
The Open Stage was followed by the recital of the WCU Mountain Dulcimer Week Dulcimer Orchestra, led in music and song by Kenneth Bloom...
On Friday we were able to see (and play) the beautiful new dulcimers made by our class of Dulcimer Builders! 
Throughout the week we were delighted with the talents, charm and dedication of our 2004 Youth Scholars… (L-R) Paul Henderson, Brett Houston, Aaron O’Rourke, Roger Amundsen, II, Sarah Elisabeth Musgrave, Brittney Huston, Emily Schilling and Leslie Owle. Many thanks to our participants, staff and Marketplace vendors who helped support our WCU Mountain Dulcimer Week Youth Scholarships.
At Friday afternoon’s Closing Ceremonies our Youth Scholars performed “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” We know our Dulcimer Circle will not be broken because we have fine young dulcimer players like these.
