[MR] Running bardic circles

[Thorwulfgar Uvaerkaller]

Etiquette?

your words ring true,,,but...
tell that to the Chalkmen at pennsic.
let me tell you something they can throw down when it comes to Bardics.even when they have a set show going they always end up letting anyone in and wow..what a time it is.there is a time and place for etiquette yes,but when you got so many people packed in a place they stand outside and listen,sing,and just make merry with the best of them,im sorry at pennsic they have it.

Etienne your right, but sometimes in any bardic circle,you have to just let it all out and go nuts with it.
I know I do.

just wanted to add my two gold in this talk.:^)

There's an etiquette involved for each part of a bardic circle: the
performers, the audience and the person hosting it.
The performers should follow the layout set by the host and show respect and
courtesy to each other. Keep to the prescribed time limits and if none are
given, use your own professional courtesy.
The audience should also be respectful and laugh when they feel moved to do
so, cheer when the mood strikes, and enjoy the variety of emotions that a
good bardic circle can invoke. If a piece is serious, treat it seriously and
if it is humorous, then by all means laugh!
The person hosting the circle is responsible for making everyone feel as
comfortable as possible, encourage a free-flowing sharing of the performing
arts, and provide *gentle* reminders of appropriate etiquette as needed.
If everyone in the circle understands that they each play their own part,
then a bardic circle can truly be magical.
