Good Gentlefolk of Atlantia,

Their Excellencies Gaston and Rosalind of Windmasters Hill invite all to 
attend a torchlit ball on Friday evening, June 13th, at the Tournament 
of the Mysterious Forest. The revels will begin at sundown and continue 
as long as the dancers and musicians are willing!  I (Galeran) will be 
giving walkthroughs of most dances and will teach several of the simpler 
choreographies in their entirety. All are welcome to join in the fun, 
regardless of prior experience!

Please note that these revels will be held outside, weather permitting. 
You may wish to choose your footwear accordingly.

Several musicians have already indicated their willingness to play, but 
more are always welcome.  If you are interested in helping to play for 
the dancing and would like an advance copy of the sheet music, please 
contact me at bsidlauskas at gmail.com. Please also direct questions about 
the dancing itself to my attention.

The set lists will be as follows:
