Greetings again...

Well, once again I'm negligent and technologically incompetant.  I tried to
get
the .wav file and failed miserably, but I have to admit that I didn't try as
hard as I might have because I've been toying with the idea (and, indeed, have
decided to) exchange that particular dance that no one knows for anther dance
that few people know, Villanella.  The whole reason DAF was on the ball list
is
that I will be teaching it during the day, and I was having guilt pangs about
using a simplified and altered version of a 16th c. dance as my one example of
the genre.  Anyway, Villanella it is.

If anyone wants the full ball list again, let me know.  Katriana, do you know
the music to this one or shall we start the whole thing again (!).  Thank you
so
much, by the way, for all of your efforts past and yet to come. :)

See you all the 22nd, I hope.

Katherine

Rigela asked for input for the autocrats handbook on the Lilies Ball /
dancing.

This isn't the place for dreams (a good floor, lighting, ...), but rather
information to help people running the ball in future years.  For example:

Making the list of ball dances available before the war and having the
dances taught both at events leading up to Lilies and at Lilies is a good
thing.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Pennsic, back on the 22nd or so.
Hopefully y'all will have posted some great suggestions and I'll get them
to Rigela.

katriana
or maybe Rigela remembered to ask Conrad a while ago and he already did this.

In which case, "never mind"

I would say be sure to have a (well publicized) night of review and pickup
dancing.  That seemed to go very well.  And at the ball, as much light as
possible and plenty of water.  Obvious, I know.

See you at Pennsic.

Katherine

from what is listed):

The Shire of Deodar invites you to
REGIONAL DANCE PRACTICE
Saturday, November 18, 2000
Whittier Community Building, Whittier, Iowa

Don’t let those dance skills languish over the winter. Be prepared to put
your best foot forward at the next event. Polish your existing dance skills
and learn new skills at our dance workshop / event.

Our site is the community building in the town of Whittier, approximately
20-25 minutes north and a little east of Cedar Rapids. Lady Tsire of Couer
d’Ennui and Lady Katherine of NoMountain have volunteered to teach an entire
day of dances.

Basic Information:
9:00 AM Site Opens
10:00 AM --- First Dance Session – Dances anyone can do – Bransles and
simple country dances
1200 NOON – Break for lunch. There will be a tavern of simple fare on site
1:00 PM – Second Dance Session – More English country dances
3:00 PM – Third Dance Session – Pavannes and Italian dances
5:00 PM – Dancing Classes end
6:00 PM – A simple meal of a vegetarian soup and a beef stew and bread with
beverage – All included with your site fee!!
7:00 PM (or so) – Evening dancing. A ball to practice all of the new dances
you’ve just learned, or a chance to socialize and dance those dances you
already know.
9:00 PM – Dancing Ends
10:00 PM – Site Closes

Fees -- $5.00 for site, with the evening meal included. Make checks payable
to SCA Inc, Shire of Deodar

Other activities – we will try to have gaming tables available. Fighting is
a possibility if the weather cooperates – however, this is Iowa in November.

Directions – If you are coming via Interstate 380, you will need to use the
Toddville Exit. Turn east onto County Home Road. Follow County Home road
approximately 12 miles (going east) to Whittier. The community building is
on the southwest corner at the only stop sign in town.

If you are coming from the east, you can use Hwy 13 to the County Home Road.
From Hwy 13, turn east onto County Home Road. Follow County Home Road
approximately 4 miles (going east) to Whittier. The Community building is
on the southwest corner at the only stop sign in town.

Note: Whittier is a very small community with no grocery store or fast
food. The closest place to purchase food would be Springville or Central
City. We will have directions for those who wish them.

Greetings Calontir Dance Folk!

I would like to announce that the 2nd Northnern Region Dance Practice will be
held at the college of NoMountain on February 17, 2000.  Unfortunately this
date conflicts with Estrella, but we hope that enough people will not be able
to make it down to Atenvelt to make our event a success anyway!

I would like your help ont he following:

1) Can you please any dancers or musicians in your groups know that they would
be most welcome (particularly northern region folks).  We can provide some
crash space (please contact me in advance) and the site fee is free!

2) I'm looking for teachers, anything from one or two dances that you know
particularly well to a full hour (or more!).  I know some of the people I
would normally count on are going to Estrella (Conrad?, Tsire?), so *anyone*
who thinks they wilbe coming and would be able to teach for a bit is most
welcome.

I'm away from home right now, but I'll send along the event flyer in a few
days.

In Service.
Katherine Mercer
The College of NoMountain

ps.  Tsire, could you please forward this to your C d'E dance list?

Will merchants be available to sell dance tapes at the Regional
Practice? I am trying to institute a regular dance practice in our

acquire a few good tapes. If not, any suggestions/advice?

Thanks for your help. Hope to see you all in a couple wee

I mean, "weeks"

;)

Greetings.

I don't anticipate there being any merchants at the regional dance practice,
but
I can suggest a few useful cds that you can order reletively cheaply online.

The cheapest option is to go to the SCA Music and Dance Page (sorry, I lost my
book marks, but if you search for SCA Music and Dance Page on Yahoo it should
pop up).  Eric Praetzel and Greg Lindahl have about a dozen copyright free cds
that they will copy for you for $3 (some of them have a few dollars copyright
added to that).  If you have questions on specific disks I'd be happy to
answer,
but in general, all of the non-synth disks are reasonably useful, especially
for
a new group.

If you have a little bit more money to spend, I recommend the Musica
Subterranea
cds.  They're an SCA band and they've put out two cds, the first (self titled)
has a fairly basic mixed rep and the second has some more basic dances and
some
more advanced ones.  I've lent out my cds today, but I'll have them back this
afternoon and will post a track listing if you'd like, and an e-mail address.
They run around $15 each (I forget exactly).


I have other commercial cd recommendations.  Let me know if you're interested
and I'll dig through my cds when I get home this afternoon.

And of course feel free to track me down at RDP.  I"ll be the one running
around
like a maniac!

Katherine

Greetings, missed you at Kris Kinder - and no one seemed to know
who you were.

I pretty much totally agree with Katherine, but do have some specifics.


>The cheapest option is to go to the SCA Music and Dance Page

http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/~praetzel/sca-music.html

>but in general, all of the non-synth disks are reasonably

By all means you can order some of the disks, but if you need stuff
quick and have the right equipment, you can also download and
record to tape - ask if thats the way you want to go.

>If you have a little bit more money to spend, I recommend the
>Musica Subterranea cds.

I also recommend their discs and can give you their webpage.

http://www.musicasubterranea.dhs.org/

I think the first one is better for a wide variety of styles
and partially due to its existance more of these are done here.

Though, Katherine, I'm glad to have some music for Dolce Amoroso Fuoco
now.

Sadly I won't be at RDP, I'll be at Estrella (hopefully anyway, work is
being difficult).

Conrad

Greetings teachers, musicians, CalontirDance and IowaSeneschal folks.

I don't know why I didn't think to post this here until Conrad
suggested it - Guess that's why he's about to become a Laurel :)

Below is some information about this years Cheiftains.  Conrad will
be elevated and we will be having a Changlings Ball directly
following feast.  Please, see the information on the Cheiftains event
below.

The VERY TENATIVE dance list for the Cheiftains Changlings Ball is:
Karobushka, Picking up Sticks, Petit Rienze, Jenny Pluck Pears,
Horses Brawl, Mannschaft Pavanne, Road to the Isle.  We would also
like to include Conrad's favorite dance but he's gone off to war so
we can't ask him right now.  After that we will take requests if
there are enough people interested and if the autocrate and site
clean-up steward allows (I'm not sure when we have to be out of the
hall).

Please remember that this a _very tenative_ list - I haven't checked
my tapes or with the musicians or ect. Alot will hopefully be
finalized this Thursday.  I will certainly post any finalized info.

In Service
Rowan



____________________________
Cheiftains Info!!
____________________________
I realize everyone is focused on Estrella right now, but Chieftains
follows just after and the staff of Chieftains wish to let everyone
know we are planning on a really fun event at our NEW, bigger site!
There are some twists to this year's Chieftains due to its theme:
Carnival at Chieftains (it's the last event before Lent - how could
we resist! :-) )


Fighters:  ANY list legal mass weapon will be acceptable for the
tourney.  Novel weapons are encouraged and I think there may even be
a prize.  However, since all of us here immediately came up with the
same idea for a novel mass weapon, we ask that you remember that this
is a family show.

The A&S competition is masks in any medium - cloth, clay,
gingerbread, ect.  Have fun!  Be Creative!
There will of course be Shopping, Games, and all the other standard
fun things we do at Chieftains.  Oh, and the rumor is that the fund
raiser will be something about indulgences from Pope Joan (sorry, we
couldn't track down Brother Luvaducki ;) ).

Changelings Feast: Fits with the theme don't you think? Please see
the letter below from the coronet.  Please come and have fun with us.
Borrow your lady's houpalond or your lord's armor and be someone (or
something) else for the night!  There are Prizes too!
As for the feast menu, Master A's in charge - you know it will be
good.
If you have dietary restrictions PLEASE contact him BEFORE Saturday
morning.  I don't know the whole menu but I know it is very heavy on
the meat (again that Carnival theme thing).  In fact I think there is
only one or maybe two vegetables.

Changelings Ball: Gee make a Dance Laurel, have a ball.  Seems
appropriate.  I don't have a dance list yet and I'm not sure if it is
going to be tapes or live music.  Plus, you can dance and still go to
the post revel - it is only 2 blocks from the site!  With the post
revel so close you can dance and not miss any of the fun singing.
Twice the fun for one low price!

Post Revel:   It's at Master A's of course.  Leave your car at the
site and walk to post revel or leave your car at Master A's and walk
to site!

Please, pass this on to anyone who might be interested.  We are all
looking forward to seeing you at Chieftains!!

In Service,
Rowan and the staff of Chieftains

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Letter from the Coronet of Three Rivers:

What is Changelings?

Years ago, Changelings was a traditional feast held in the Barony of
Three Rivers. Gentles would attend the daytime activities as their
usual persona and participate in tournaments, A&S competitions and
various traditional SCA activities. For feast, however, something
mystical would happen. The gentles attending would sneak off and
change into someone or something else.

Some chose to change into mythical beasts, historical characters or
even deities. While some chose to impersonate someone they knew in
the SCA, or to be the embodiment of a pun or joke. Really, the sky
was the limit, and the good gentles of those long-ago Changelings let
their imaginations soar. We ask you to let your imagination take wing
for this yearís Chieftains, as we bring back the Feast of the
Changelings. Is it just a costume party? Well, sure, if you want to
look at it that wayóbut a costume party SCA style!

Why have we chosen to bring it back?

For starters, it was fun. But the reason we brought it back this
year, is because it really blends with the spirit of Mardi Gras and
Carnivale that we chose as our theme for this yearís Chieftains. As
the season of Lent drew nigh, the people of Christian Europe would
hold festivals and celebrations. Lent is a time of fasting and
sacrificeóMardi Gras is a time of indulgence and more indulgence.
Masked parades, costumed balls and other such revelry were extremely
popular. We hope you decide to join us in the fun, and come up with a
clever costume or mask.

Will there be prizes?

Most certainly!! During the day your mask can be judged in our mask
contest (although this contest is not restricted to masks that can
actually be worn). And at feast, several prizes (in categories to be
announced) will be given out for exceptional costumes.

Is there any limit?

Please remember that this is a family show. Any bawdiness must be
subtle. Nothing that would get you arrested on a city street please.

Are we looking forward to seeing the fruits of your imaginations?

Heck yes!!!

In the spirit of Mardi Gras,

Hirsch and Meredydd

Baron and Baroness Three Rivers

Just a fanticiful side note....

Yamaha has taken a page out of Apple's Imac book :)

I just bought a Bonnnie Blue Translucent Soprano Yamaha Recorder :)

I saw green, red, there as well :)

Hey why not.  Verbatim's making 700mb cd's after the same stylin' now too.

So.  Is a Bonnie Blue Recorder period? :)

Looks like it will be tapes and CDs.
Looks like the dance list will be Karobushka, Picking up Sticks,
Petit Rienze, Jenny Pluck Pears, Horses Brawl, Mannschaft Pavanne,
Road to the Isle.
After that we will take requests if there are enough people
interested and if the autocrate and site clean-up steward allows (I'm
not sure when we have to be out of the hall).

This could still change - nothing is set in stone.

Those sound like fun.........too bad I can't dance..........are there any
dances that don't require hopping?????

Feel free to ignore me, since I almost certainly won't be able to make it down
(ah, the joy of being in my last semester of undergrad), but three of the
seven
dances (Korobushka, Mannschaft, and Road to the Isles) are not actually period
dances (allowing the two ECD to be counted as period).  My suggestion would be
to try to use as many period dances as possible, especially considering that
it's a ball in honor of Conrad's Laureling (right?).  Just my two cents (I
know
I'm fighting an uphill battle).

Well, I'm still trying to find someone to share a ride with (otherwise I
have an awfully long drive by myself in a minivan with no money), but we're
working on a "kirtle" to wear under the houppelande that Conna made me and
my dance music is all packed.  My fingers are usually ready to go.  So you
should have at least Conna and me there.

Very few dances "require" hopping.  Actually, few dances "require" much
more than enjoying yourself.  Anytime the teacher says "hop", just
substitute "pause" and smile r-e-a-l big and pretty.  Maybe bob on your
toes briefly for effect.  Unless someone specifies differently, we're doing
social dance, not performance dance and it only works if people get out on
the floor and socialize :-)

And let's not forget that we probably aren't doing Road to the Isles
(though I will have the music and words with me) but Scotland the Brave.

not only out of period, but incorrectly OOP

Hey Conrad
Post the wording on your scroll! Those that couldn't hear in court or
couldn't make cheiftains deserve to get at least half the smiles from
it I did.  It won't be quite the same without drix the herald reading
it but still...

Who had a great seat for the lauraling - behind the barony thrones.

Hey Conrad
Post the wording on your scroll!

Well soon the whole thing will be on line, but for now ...

We, Lyriel, the Lady by the Lily marked, and Fernando, the Ritter by the
Falcon armed; by sword, law, and custom serving the people of Calontir as
their Sovereigns, and the Land of the Falcon as its Lady and Lord, do greet
all bound to Us, and order these words to be accredited in all places of
honor.

As the Chivalry defends the just and ancient freedoms of Our folk, and the
Pelikan renders all things possible in service, so too do Our artisans and
entertainers enrich Our subjects. It is both Our duty and Our delight to
paint in brightest colors, and to deck with gold and precious Honors, those
who by their efforts have jeweled Our courts and halls in seemly merriment.

Such a one is Conrad Martin von Kassel, who has by the disport of dancing
taught Our people to meet in modest and sober entertainment, and also has
provided virtuous exercise in place of less worthy pastimes. We are
therefore minded to advance, elect and prefer him to the Order of the
Laurel, and to account him a Peer of Our realm, equal in honors to any who
have not borne the burdens of rule.

Given under Our hands and seals, this 24th day of the 10th month of the
thirty-fifth year of the Society, it being February 24th, 2001 in the Roman
reckoning, Our Falcon Thrones being set in Our Barony of Three Rivers.
