The CD contains music played by Mark Brandt with steps sung by Alannah Boyle Sweeney, ADCRG and Ellen Boyle Gibbons, ADCRG. Dancers should practice to these CDs to assist in memorizing their steps. The CDs also contain instrumental tracks for practice. All dancers are required to buy a CD at registration. CDs containing the new steps will be sold each school year. In 2010 the Boyle School of Irish Dance and Lion Heart Music produced a second CD to perfect dancers' rhythm and timing. This Rhythm and Timing CD is available for purchase at open class and during the Jig-a-thon or in-school feis.
