personal favorite type of competition is a bardic circle, "pass the candle"
format, participants declare their intention at the circle. But I'm weird
that way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Competition<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My fellow Bards,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First of all I'd like to invite you all to come
to Golden Arrow IX Sept. 26-28 to be hosted by StoneBrdige Keep (Victoria,
Texas) <A
href="http://www.geocities.com/stonebridgekeep">www.geocities.com/stonebridgekeep</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also I am seeking 3 Bardic Judges for the
competition -- any willing Bards to take this up please notify
me.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Secondly I'd like to get your thoughts, opinions
and insights on running Title Bardic Competition. Here are my
thoughts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Primary Objective to entertain the masses and
have fun. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second Objective to get as Many Bards to come and
participate, be they renowned or not so renowned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dilemma: When during an event to hold
Bardic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If held during the day there's little
participation due to other events going on and the masses don't get to
hear.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If held during feast, hard to judge, and often
interruptions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If held at night, then Bardic winner not
announced during court and there by given just recognition -- not that any
bard seeks recognition (no none of us are hams)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What are your thoughts on this?</FONT></DIV>

style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid; WIDTH: 100%">Dear
fellow Bards<BR><BR>I am a new question. What do you perform in the
SCA?<BR>I have been a story teller for most of my life. When I was ten I
set up<BR>a story telling booth next to my girl friend's lemonade booth
and made as<BR>much money as she did. When I started in the SCA I wasn't a
performer. I<BR>was an organizer and an autocrat. I didn't really start to
build my<BR>persona until I was in Ansteorra. When I started to work on my
historical<BR>persona I realized that entertainment is part of the role of
a person in<BR>the middle ages. Everybody did something. The gentle born
were suppose<BR>to do more. People entertained themselves and it would of
gotten really<BR>boring if everybody didn't perform . Who was that Saxon
cleric who prayed<BR>to God to help him out because when the horn was
passed to him he could<BR>not think of anything? As I advanced in the SCA
I beca! me a patron of the<BR>bardic arts. In history you will find many
nobles who did things like<BR>that, Robert of Normandy and Richard the
Lionhearted. They usually<BR>participated in the art form. So my
performance are part of my living my<BR>persona. <BR><BR>Willow de
