Greetings all,
I just wanted to remind all those who would compete for the honor of being their
28th bardic champion, that the championship will be held at Steppes Warlord, the
weekend of May 25-28, and will take place on Saturday evening, after evening
court! And in case you forgot, the format follows:
1. There will be three rounds. For any round, the performer may choose the piece
to be performed, or they may submit a number of pieces to the judges, who will
select the piece to be performed that round. Performers can opt for the latter
option for all three rounds. Please submit no more than three pieces per round
to select from. Allowing the judges to select the piece will garner points with
the judges.
2. There is no requirement for documentation for any round, but the judges will
appreciate it if the performer can give some background information to the
piece.
3. There are no performance style requirements (song, story, poem, etc.).
4. Their Excellencies' preference of themes for this competition are: silver and
the number 25 (to honor their 25th rapier and artisan champions), as well as
oak, boars, and squirrels. Though not a requirement, performing pieces with any
of the aforementioned themes will garner points with the judges.
5. Each competitor is asked to supply one of the pieces they perform in writing
(with due credits) to Their Excellencies to become part of a collection/book.
Any questions regarding the competition can be directed to HL Alden Drake at

many come out to vie for this great honor!
Yours in service,
Alden Drake
