Susan should do "Summertime" from "Porgy and Bess" or maybe "Back to Before" from "Ragtime."  Maybe Eabha could do "Cliffs of Dooneen?" I also think "Song For Ireland," would be great either as an ensemble or a solo for MC.  Since it's a summer theme, can the girls do at least one number barefoot?  Wink
