[Bards] What is a bard?

[Martha Schreffler]

As someone who is more of an instrumentalist, I always feel on the periphery of these kinds of discussions.  That said, when the topic was posed about sashes designating who is willing to perform, I'm happy to be asked to play the harp or other instrumental music so I could see wearing some token like this as applying to myself. I don't see the harp being an entry in a bardic competition without singing or speaking along with it.  I'd be happy to be included in a college of bards but would probably tremble with fear if people took that to mean I could tell a story! - Amata
