[MR] Swarming knights, singing and why Pennsic is her favorite place

[M'lady Foxy]

This sums up Pennsic in a nutshell  \

In Pennsic the people you camp with are your family.  You have a special
bond with them.  In Pennsic, you can't be sad.  You have the feeling for a
moment, then then everyone cheers you up with music, laughter, or just
smiling. 

 might suggest to teacher a demo by local group to show others in class a bit of what we do. =)
