Greetings Everyone from Willow de Wisp I was talking to my husband as to the problems with performers not showing up to Kingdom A&S. He asked me some telling questions. How many Laurels took the time to listen to the performers at the last A&S? How many took the time to look over the static pieces? How many of the regular populace took the time to listen? Who picked the Champion and did that person listen to the performers? I had to answer that only 2 laurels and a handful of the populace went to far away room and listened to the performers.The Queen took the time to look at all the static but didn't look at the performing artist. One of the reasons that artists take the time to go to A&S is to be seen and noticed. Going to Kingdom A&S is a waste of time for performing artists. Duke Jonathan said entering local competitions are a better way of being seen. willow ________________________________________________________________________ Try Juno Platinum for Free!
