Florida Snow Ball

Snow Ball 2026 is now done

and wow, was that fun!

Snow Ball 2026 was held again in Gulfport, FL at the Boca Ciega High School gymnasium. Our callers were Michael Karcher and Lisa Greenleaf. Our bands were Red Case Band and a last-minute, one-time collaboration of Jeremy Lekich from Turnip The Beet with substitute fiddler Brittany Haas, who played together as the Tennessee Snow Birds. (Huge thanks to Brittany for agreeing to step in the day before Snow Ball started! Of course, who wouldn’t want to come to Florida the same weekend a major winter storm was crossing the Eastern half of the United States!)

Snow Ball 2027

Snow Ball 2027 is being planned for the weekend of 22-24 January 2027. Since the Gulfport Casino is still not available following the damages from Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, we will hope to be at Boca Ciega High School again, though that is not yet officially confirmed.

2027 Snow Ball Talent

We are able to announce the talent for the 2027 Snow Ball as follows. Our bands will be Engine Room, consisting of Noah VanNordstrom, Alex Sturbaum, and Kelsey Wells, along with River Road, consisting of Jesse Ball, Kristen Planeux, and Sarah-Hadley Yakir. Callers for next year will be Seth Tepfer and Alexandra Deis-Lauby. As usual, Jamie Platt will provide sound.
