Tally-Ho But anything [NOL]: Do a Tally-Ho but replace the Centers Cast Off 3/4 with the Centers doing the anything call.

Note: When doing a Circulate from Parallel Inverted Lines, the Center 4 are in the inside Circulate path whereas the Outer 4 are in the outside Circulate path. After a 1/2 Circulate from Inverted Lines, the Center 4 always end up in the Center Wave! From Parallel Inverted Lines with the Centers facing out, dancers often get tricked into thinking the Outer 4 become the Centers after a 1/2 Circulate.
