[Bards] Steppes Bardic not coming

[Scott Barrett]

I'm sorry to hear that, Your Grace.
  In fact, one the primary reasons the competition was being handled in 
this fashion was because a number of folks said they could not stay for 
the Sunday night Bardic. As for the time of day, I figured that the 
finalist rounds on Saturday evening would be an excellent start to a 
rousing bardic circle without the pressure of competition, a chance for 
folks to bring out some old favorites and newer performers to stretch 
their wings in the presence of the more established bards of the 
Kingdom.

Like most performers, I prefer the dark. Dark/Black is my SCA last 
name, literally. I'm the guy who teaches "To Tell a Tale of Terror", 
after all. However, I'm also aware that this Steppes has a very full 
schedule and that the new baroness wishes to hear each bard's 
contribution. She had to consider her schedule while trying to honor 
the art of bardcraft and those who would try for her title.
This compromise gives us a night time circle on the night most folks 
can attend. The competition itself may be split, but the evening bardic 
circle is still on the schedule.
