Inside The New SOC HOP
The New Soc Hop didn't have the same charm as the old barn did, but it did have it's own charismatic style, with wagon wheel chandeliers that were reminders of the original dance hall. The dance floor was wider, but not as long. The ceiling was lower, which made the sound project into the crowd without as much loss as was experienced in the old barn. The stage had custom electronics and modern lighting which added ambiance to the nighttime atmosphere. It wasn't the old barn, but those who went there loved it just the same.
This picture was taken from about thirty feet into the dancefloor. I took it with my Kodak Brownie early one Sunday morning after I had cleaned up after a Saturday night. I was getting ready to move the church pews out away from the walls to get ready for the church that held Sunday services there. I have many fond memories of dancing on this wonderful dancefloor. It is funny how some things just stay in your mind and never go away. If you ever danced here, or played in a band here, please make a comment below and share your memories.
