At the risk of appearing a spoilsport, I'd like to mention that there is
of course Mel Briscoe's 5-couple version of the Wild Geese called A
Flock of Geese, which is printed in the Slipknot Collection. To add to
the confusion, there is also a dance by John Drewry called the Wild
Goose Chase (which AFAIR is quite unlike the other large-waterfowl
dances except for a bit of Wild Geese-style setting in the middle).

Anyway, yours looks like a nice dance. I must try it soon with our group.
