Battle of the Bards

Post by Fianna Heneghan »

This is meant to be a friendly competition to determine who is the best musician among us. The prize will be a full year of bragging rights and a small purse of coins. All are welcome to participate.

The performance must be a combination of music and poetry. It may be played by one performer or a group of performers. The judging will be based on the quality of the music and lyrics as well as the performance of them.

The exact date and time of the competition will be posted in the near future, so start practicing!

Achae reads the post then appears thoughtful mumbling to herself...

It says nothing about having to sing....

.. as a small blush forms on her face before taking a pen from her bag and signing under the note.

Achae Eanstray.. harp and poem

The word poem is underlined before she walks away with a quiet giggle.

I know I wouldn't win with my singing!

Greetings,

Though it has been a while since my youth, I think maybe I should give this tournament a try. I suppose it's time to shake off the rust of my boyhood instruments.

Luthille hällt an dem Anschlag an.
Sie legt den Finger auf das Blatt und geht die Namen durch.

Seufzend geht sie weiter.

Rhandarja liest den Aushang, dann kramt sie schnell einen Kohlestift und einen Zettel hervor, schreibt etwas darauf und pinnt ihn dann darunter:

"Ich, Rhandarja Opalin, werde auch teilnehmen."

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

Rhandarja grabs a paper and a pencil out of her back and writes:

"I' will participate. Rhandarja Opalin."

The competition time has been set for (( saturday 11 October at 7PM GMT/3PM US eastern time )).

The old language competition will be held first, followed by the new language. Bards speaking both languages may participate in either or both events as it pleases them.

If you are not competing, come sit in the audience to support your friends and the arts.

Good luck everyone!



****************************************************************************************************



Der Zeitpunkt für den Wettbewerb wurde festgelegt (( Samstag, den 11. Oktober um 7PM GMT/21 Uhr deutsche Zeit )).

Zuerst wird der Wettbewerb in der Alten Sprache durchgeführt, danach in der Neuen Sprache. Barden, die beider Sprachen mächtig sind, können an einem oder auch an beiden Veranstaltungen teilnehmen.

Alle die nicht auftreten, kommt in das Theater und unterstützt Eure Freunde und die Kunst.

Jedem viel Glück!

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Battle of the Bards competition must be postponed two dwarven weeks. The new date will be (( October 25th, same time )). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but it currently can't be helped. The good news is that everyone has a bit more time to practice.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Wegen unvorhersehbarer Umstände muss der Wettkampf der Barden um zwei Zwergenwochen verschoben werden (( neuer Termin 25. Oktober, gleiche Zeit)). Ich bitte um Entschuldigung für die Unannehmlichkeiten die dadurch entstehen, Die gute Nachricht ist, dass sich nun jeder noch etwas besser auf den Wettbewerb vorbereiten kann.

As a voluntary punishment to myself for so often postponing this event and compensation for all the bards that manage to keep their interest up, I am offering a participation prize to all competitors on the day of the event in addition to the prizes awarded to the winners.

******************************************************************************************

Als freiwillige Bestrafung für mich selbst, wegen dem häufigen Verschieben des Wettbewerbs und als Entschädigung für alle Barden, die es schaffen, Ihr Interesse weiterhin aufrechtzuerhalten, gibt es zusätzlich zu den Preisen für die Gewinner, für jeden Teilnehmer an Tag des Wettbewerbes einen Sonderpreis.

Greetings bards and music enthusiasts. Good news! The competition will now be two events! The old language event will be (( Sunday, November 9th @ 9PM german time )) judged by Rosendil and the new language event will now be (( Sunday, November 9th @ 9PM US eastern time )) judged by Fianna. You now have twice the opportunity to compete and be entertained. There will be prizes for the competitors and winners of both events as well as diversion and amusement for the audiences.

Verzeiht, Mylady,

Es war mir unmöglich an dem Wettbewerb teilzunehmen weil ich Verpflichtungen anderer Art hatte, die kurzfristig sehr wichtig erschienen. Sie nahmen mich derart in Anspruch, dass ich es nicht einmal schaffte rechtzeitig eine Taube zu schicken.

I was unsure if I would be in the area of Trolls Bane by the time the competition was set. If you are allowing late entries I would be interested in performing in the competition. I will try to be as on time as possible, though I will need to tune up my lute before hand.
