Antonia,<br><br>
I'd be happy to sit out a couple of class periods so you can participate,
too. I'm sure I will still get to take anything I'm interested in. Also,
I believe we have a space heater you could borrow for the event. It's
small, but it works pretty well. Since my husband and I will be
day-tripping, I won't be able to help with set-up, but may still be able
to help with take-down, if it's being done that same evening. (And yes,
we will be there in time for the first class.)<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Anna - If you wouldn't mind sitting
out a class period or two, that would allow me to take or teach a couple
of classes. However, I don't want you to miss anything you're
interested in. <br>
<br>
Everyone - I would also appreciate it if someone could volunteer to
arrange for hot drinks for the day, and I'll need volunteers for setup
Friday afternoon/evening. I hope to take a trip to the site soon
with the autocrat to see the space we'll be allotted and to get details
on what facilities are available (such as electricity for coffee pots,
etc). Also, since the event is outdoors in November, we may need
space heaters. If you could bring one or loan one to us, please let
me know. Can't think of anything else right now. Oh,
wait...<br>
<br>
You! We need you! And all your bardic friends! Don't
just come to the collegium - talk it up! Tell everyone about
it! I'll be posting classes sometime during the next month, but
rest assured, there will be something for everyone - novice bards,
experienced performers, everyone! <br>
<br>
In service,<br>

<dd>Hello, Antonia -<br><br>
<dd>I for one am really looking forward to it! You're doing a great job,
and your enjoyment really shows.<br><br>
<dd>Regarding the Bardic Collegium, it was suggested that you may need
someone to make sure the classes stay on schedule. If you do, I would be
happy to fill this role for you. Also, what is next on your preparation
list? I could help with booklets or handouts, if you want, or other
things of that nature. Just let me know.<br><br>

<dd>During my tenure as kingdom bard, I've come to appreciate the wide
variety of performing arts practiced within Ansteorra. From rousing
campfire songs to lofty period poetry, from war stories to productions of
Shakespeare, we have amazingly diverse interests and remarkably talented
people! I would like my successor to be familiar with and
supportive of the many facets of the bardic arts. To that
end:</font><font face="arial">
<dd>Eisteddfod, the competition for Titled Bard of Ansteorra, will take
place at Steppes Twelfth Night on January 8, 2005. The rules are as
follows. Participants will be required to perform in three initial
rounds: (1) campfire piece, (2) period-style piece, and (3) Ansteorran
piece. In the first round, the piece should be something you might
perform at a campfire – no restriction on period or style. In the
second round, the piece should be in a period ! style or written within
period; written documentation will be required, and the piece may be
original. In the third round, the piece should pertain to Ansteorra
in some way, whether it be history, myth, legend, or celebratory in
nature. In the first and third rounds, documentation is not
required. After the third round, three to five finalists will be
selected and each will perform twice more. The winner will be
chosen from the finalists and announced in court.&nb!
<dd>sp; There is no restriction on repeating styles or requirement that
any pieces be original, but diversity is
encouraged.</font><font face="arial">
<dd>I am enjoying my current position immensely, and when the time comes
to turn over the cloak to my successor, I hope to lay it on the shoulders
of someone who will love and encourage all aspects of the bardic
community. I invite all the bards in the kingdom to consider
entering Eisteddfodd. If you are unable to enter but will be at!
Steppes Twelfth Night, please come participate as an audience
member. Further details , such as starting time, will be published
closer to Twelfth Night. Please contact me if you have any
questions. Thank you for your consideration and support – I hope to
see and hear all of you soon! </font>
