Luko heads over to where the band is to be staged. It's to be a clear
night with no rain so they have turned the open air part into a sort
of ballroom. Solar lights fully charged to last until morning, have
been covered in bright colored tissue paper line all but the last
roof beem away from the kitchen and covered eating area. All the
other beams are festuned with lights.

Luko looks and hopes with all his heart, that Bast will appear and she
will find the end beam a suitable place, cleared just for her. He
wants so much to see his sisfer Mona.

Meantime, the music area warms up a bit as chairs are placed. A piano
sits to the edges as does a drum set. At the center are 4 microphones
of various heights, all adjustable, as they tend to sing in quartets.

To the center beam of the open area, with ceremony, they place a
favored item they have had for 40 years. It speaks well to cats,
casting it's own 'red dots' and other colored dots everywhere! It is a
1980's disco ball. It's been adapted though to have the metal frame
between the silvery bits extended with little fans that catch the wind
and make it twirl. The Master Cook grabs the Master Rope makers paw
and they run out to chase the colors. Thanh who had been helping
setup, puts her pipe down and jumps into the melee joined by Luko,
Sammie, Milo, and Pit2nya and many others.

As the kitties have fun jumping about, a local quartet starts singing
'a-capella', a happy sounding song.

To the side of the sign in podium, is a temporary tent there to store
any instruments. They were told a Master Band Leader Cat may arrive as
one of the guests and are excited to hear such!
