competition will be held and Lord Gideon, the Bard of the South, and I
encourage all bards to come and compete. The competition will be comprised
of three rounds.

In the first and second round competitors should perform pieces in
different modes. For example, if a story is performed in the first round,
the bard should perform a song, instrumental piece, poem, or some-such for
the second round. One of the pieces performed in the first two rounds must
be period, documentation should be provided. Please limit pieces to five
minutes. Extra consideration shall be given to bards who perform original
compositions in addition to the period piece.Those bards who are selected

any questions, concerning the competition, appropriate pieces, etc., please
