[MR] 12th night

[Trey and Janine Sutter]

Greetings!

I would like to say that 12th night was a wonderful event and VERY well done.

One thing that surprised me:  during the toasts to Their Majesties, Highnesses, etc, there were ALOT of people in the back of the room that remained seated.  

>From one website:

The toast is a tradition that goes back for centuries.  Today, a toast is the traditional and formal way of honoring a country, organization, or institution. It is disrespectful for an individual not to participate in a toast. A teetotaler need only go through the motion of holding the glass to his lips or request a non-alcoholic beverage. 



Obviously, if a person is unable to stand, that is one thing, but I find it hard to believe that MANY people at 12th Night could not stand to toast our Monarchs and their Heirs.



Thank you,
