So, you’ve been calling a while, right? Feel like you’re good at some aspects, but would like to be something more of a “TOTAL Package” type caller?

You know the type, they’re associated with words like – Choreographer, Showman, & Recording Artist?

Wish there was a caller’s school geared for just that purpose?  One that starts at the point that other caller’s schools stop?

Well, we’ve put together just what you’ve been looking for!

TOTL School 2027
November 7-11, 2027

Tony and Ted have put together a school designed specifically around fine tuning all the little things to help make you the TO/TL Package!  The 40+ hours of class, microphone, and studio time will be heavily focused on Music (Traditional and Alternative Music and its usage), Creative Choreography, Showmanship, and Choreographic and Singing Call Presentation. The limited size of the school means you’ll get personal one on one time with two of square dancing’s premier callers, and plenty of mike time as well.

We’ve also designed an entire studio experience for all who attend! We’ve reserved studio time at the famous Hilltop Recording Studios in Nashville for the school!  You’ll get to watch the same musicians that record for Royal Records and Throw Back Tunes create a square dance tune of your choosing!  Throughout the course of the school, Tony and Ted will work with you on your song, and at the end of the school, we’ll head back into the studio so you can record your vocals!
