Subject: [Bards] Eisteddfod Format and Kingdom A&S

Greetings Performers of Ansteorra!
It is with great pleasure that I announce the format for Eisteddfod, which will 
be held at Kingdom A&S in the Barony of Bordermarch on February 9th, 2013. We 
are doing something a bit different this year, with regards to holding this 
championship in conjunction with Kingdom A&S, but I hope you will all enjoy and 
take advantage of the opportunity it will present to you. At this event, you 
will have the opportunity to compete in Eisteddfod, Kingdom A&S (as a 
performance entry), or BOTH, with one of your pieces (as outlined below). The 
Kingdom MOAS, Mistress Melisenda, and I have come up with the following joint 
plan to accomodate Eisteddfod and performance entries in Kingdom A&S.

If you wish to compete in Kingdom A&S as a performance entry, you will need to 
sign in with the Kingdom A&S registry ON SITE, and you will also be required to 
submit your documentation no later than January 26th by sending it to the 
Kingdom MOAS via postal mail or email at moas at ansteorra.org. You will also need 
to sign in with the Premier Bard ON SITE, to be added to the performance 
schedule.

If you wish to compete in Eisteddfod, you will need to sign in with the Premier 
Bard ONSITE, and are encouraged to email the Premier Bard by January 26th to 
notify him of your intent to compete (so we can approximate schedule times). His 

email address is alden_drake at sbcglobal.net. Documentation (5 copies please) 
should be given to the Premier Bard when you sign in.

If you wish to compete in both Kingdom A&S (performance entry) AND Eisteddfod, 
you will need to do BOTH of the above.

The performances will begin at 10:00am. Make sure you plan to be onsite early 
enough to warm up.

EISTEDDFOD format shall be as follows:

Round 1 - Audience Participation
The bards are asked to perform a piece that is a sing-along or some other piece 
to include audience participation, or teaching. Not all bards are singers, so 
other forms of performance should somehow get the audience involved.

Round 2 - Period/Period Style
For this round, written documentation for your piece is required. It can be a 
period piece, or a post-period piece written in period style. NOTE: If you are 
competing in Kingdom A&S as a performer, this piece will be judged for both 
competitions. 

Round 3 - Bard's Choice
Each bard is asked to bring their show-stopper piece.

KINGDOM A&S (Performances) shall be held in the same location as Eisteddfod, and 

to accomodate the Laurels judging performances, shall be scheduled at specific 
times during the Eisteddfod competition. If you are competing in only Kingdom 
A&S, your scheduled performance time may fall during any of the three Eisteddfod 

rounds.

If you have any questions about Eisteddfod, please email 
alden_drake at sbcglobal.net.
If you have any questions about Kingdom A&S, please email moas at ansteorra.org.

Thank you all and I look forward to enjoying the wonderful performances this 
kingdom has to offer.

With a song in my heart,
Alden Drake
Premier Bard
