Ren Fest Lunch
By Dean | August 10, 2008
Dean: Tim Waugh is Priest(MC) for the event. In comes Jester Michael (Glasgow). There is a processional of the royal court to the tune Lord of the Dance. King Michael Joy and Queen Debbie Rice. They are followed by their court, a flag bearer, the Royal Ringers, and the house Crests. The King and Queen take their thrones as their court bows and processes to their places. The King and Queen take their place at the royal table. They are joined by the royal court in a welcome song. The King and Queen call for a prayer of thanksgiving. The court sings a prayer. Sir Tim leads the Royal Ringers in song as the servants from the hall provide the appetizer for those in attendance. The King does a toast followed by the song Wassail. The Royal Ringers are now playing Wassail. The King calls for the feast to begin. The Royal Ringers play Festal Dance. Lunch is being served by the house servants. The King calls for the Jester to entertain the court. The Royal Ringers next play Riu Riu Chiu. During the song, the King, Queen and their court visit with those in the Royal Hall. While the Royal Court visits and entertains their guests, the Royal Ringers play Sing We And Chant It. The Royal Court sings another song. The Priest tells a story followed by another song from the Royal Ringers, Sing We Enchanted. The Royal Court graced us with another song followed by the Royal Ringers playing Coventry Carol. The Royal Court sings Greensleeves followed by the Royal Ringers playing the same song. (This is the Cathy Mocklebust arrangement – my favorite arrangements of this tune. Stunning.) The Jester bids us good night. The King, Queen, Court and Royal Ringers process out to the song Lord of the Dance.
Paul: This was a wonderful idea full of amazing music both sung and rung. Tim Waugh did a great job putting everything together in such a short amount of time. Everyone looked like they were having lots of fun both on the stage and in the audience. The only criticism that I would have is that the dialog got lost in the large room without a microphone. Huzzah Ten pound for the king!
