Hicks with Sticks Border MorrisThe Hicks with Sticks Border Morris were formed in April, 1998 and dance in the style of the Welsh Border region. In the tradition of "Not for Joeing", the Hicks wear rag coats of a brilliant scarlet, orange, yellow and more, decorated hats and bells, and use heavy sticks for their dances. Traditionally in England it is danced in black-face, our dancers choose instead to go with a multi-colored effect. Here's where you can find history and information on the tradition. The team is friendly and easy going and enjoys kayak trips on weekends off on the smaller, scenic rivers in our region. We offer trips to guest teams when they come from afar, so they should plan enough time to enjoy the rivers with us in true Hick fashion. The Hicks practice each week on Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the Train Station in Shepherdstown, and dine together following the practice. They are a team that likes to travel so it's not hard to gather a side for an event. Performance Schedule Come out to see us perform throughout the year! Team Members and Officers
