I heard somewhere between 14-17 competitors entered, so I would give the judges a hearty vivat for sifting through that many fine bards to determine a winner. Laird Malcolm called me sometime after 10pm to tell me who won, and I apologize for not catching all of the lady's name, but I do remember him saying Bella (somebody), who is a member of House Wolfstar. </DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">The location for the competition was very nice as well. I was told by some folks in pavilions at the end of the list field that they could hear me singing, and Gerald pointed out to me that he could hear my voice echo from off the distant trees. I don't think of myself as a particularly loud bard, so to get that kind of sound outdoors is awesome. :)</DIV>

<DIV>Amberlea,</DIV>
<DIV>Would you post how the bardic went at Bordermarch? Every time I passed the most beautiful songs were being performed in the theater. Bordermarch did a wonderful job providing a magnificent place for the bards to gather, a stage for the competitors and seats for the audience. </DIV>
