Our little troupe has been booked to be the opening night event at a medieval themed church camp. We will be packing up pretty much everyone (12 of thirteen), and hauling off on a two-three hour drive. Once there we will be entertaining an attendance of around 100 campers and the staff for four hours less a half hour intermission to prevent fatigue related injuries and let the kids check out the equipment. Our songstress will be singing an acapella version of "Stella Splendens" to which a mystery play will be performed, there will also be a reading of William Dunbar's "On the Resurrection of Christ". Translations will be read in addition to the original text for both of those so that the children will know whats going on. Since I am a minister as well, I will be giving a couple of short messages on the Armour of God and spiritual combat. During the first of the two messages, my squire will be armoring me as I read the scripture. We will also be showing the "Knightly method of prayer and blessings" before combat. We need all of the help we can get to avoid injury.
Oh, and lots and lots of fighting. Since we don't have to conform to any one period, our armours will be a rough time line. Latitia will be in her "Dark ages" kit, Wulfscyld in his 13th C kit, I in my transitional, and John in his late transitional Milanese with "T-faced" barbute. And at last count we will be having to pack around 26 different weapons. One of which will be caught on fire.
So pray much for we have a lot of work ahead of us before the 17th of June.
