I've been involved in demos on the UT-Arlington campus when I was there,
and since.  I've been involved in many demos in many places.  Insurance
is usually a matter of what the site-owner requires.  Check with your
school's student activities office.  If this is a function of a
registered
student organization, it shouldn't be an issue.  SCA fighters sign
waivers
of liability.  If insurance is needed above what's available on campus
(since the State of Texas owns the UT-Dallas campus, I doubt it's
needed at all), check with your local seneschal; Lady Averial will
know what's needful.

Definitely touch base with your local seneschal and hospitaller
anyway, and maybe even the regional hospitaller, Lady Mara.  Let me
know when it is, and if I can, I'll come over and help out.
