ANST - Performance Documentation (was Bard .NE. Minstrel)

[Donald Riney]

I would offer a mild correction on one statement here, " but in 
competition we aspire to a higher bar than we do in the circles at an 
event." to me this is simply not the case. perhaps better to say that at 
a cmpetition we aspire to a _different_ bar. I know that most performers 
in the SCA will at both private circles and competition work their butt 
off in order to invoke a mood, or perhaps direct an audiance to a 
certain subject for consideration. I myself find the competitions a bit 
easier, At those circles I know the Audiance is there to see and hear 
people perform. Therefore I am totaly open to shift the mood of the 
audiance to whatever suits my peice. where in a private circles a totaly 
new set of skills must be aquired, Judging the mood of an audiance, 
Making your entrance, figuring what peice might enhance the mood of 
_Their_ circle. so really competition isn't a higher bar just different. 
I findthat doing resaerch and a little documentation now and then only 
helps me to invoke a "Period mood"
