it's not a slight, but there are only so many hours in a day, and many
performers in the kingdom have taken a passive role in performing for the
Kingdom. Kat and I, Alden, a few others, try to insure that there is some
type of bardic activity at events we attend. I play at list fields during
the day and wander about to spread the music. While it's not EASY to find
a place to introduce a song during an event now, we can work at finding ways of
working with stewards and offering our services to our landed nobles so that
they will feel more at ease at calling upon performers.

<DIV>I think the idea of a bardic college is wonderful.</DIV>
<DIV>I think the subgroups within the society should work together to fit
into the already established beaurocracy whenever possible to make
the whole stronger. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone I respect greatly once told me that if we held Queen's Champion
in Trimaris, there would be Rapier fighters from Ansteorra there to fight
for HRM.</DIV>
<DIV>It is up to the Bardic community to show Ansteorra the contribution
they can make and we as Peers and officers to support them.</DIV>

<DIV><BR><BR>We're brainstorming and your input is certainly
desired.<BR><BR>I for one am glad to see you here, Mistress
Blackrose.<BR><BR>What is your opinion of this potential College Statement?
What do you <BR>like, dislike, or want to see
changed?<BR><BR>~Finnacan<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Bards
