The Winds of Dawn hosted our third Newbielympics between Saturday, July 24th and Sunday, August 8th, 2004. Thanks to all the folks who participated and volunteered and contributed prizes!
All official Newbielympics events were limited to folks below Lord/Lady level (around 550 ranks). Some parts of events were limited to below Master/Mistress level (around 200 ranks)- any events of this type were be labeled as such. Every exile who participated in an event qualified for a special drawing held at the closing ceremonies for additional prizes.
We'd like to give thanks to everyone who has donated to the Newbielympics prize fund: The Koric and Felicity Goodbye Fund, Cyrrhi, Shakymuni and Kani.

Music Workshop (practice for the competition): We will meet in Bards Field to talk about music composition. Short descriptions and question and answer format centering on how to write a round, but covering any topics of interest such as what tools can I use to write music in clan lord, how do instruments work, what is sheet music, where are the practice rooms, what the heck is a chord? I'll attempt to answer any questions you have. The goal is to go away with enough information to write a round for the round workshop and competition next week. Suggested pre-class reading material includes my tutorial on rounds, Coriakin's School of Music, and the Bards Guild pages. Class is open to all levels, but only Master/Mistress level and below can enter rounds for Judging next week. Email questions about music or anything else to Poesy at windsofdawn dotty org. |

Last minute entries will be taken if we aren't too crowded. All rounds will be played by any present bards. You should confirm ahead of time that someone with the instrument you've written for will be there to play for you. I will have a Conch, Gitor, Xylo, Bagpipes, Occarina, and Bone Flute. Rounds will be scored by all entrants and any present bards, each person will award 1-5 points for the categories of Tempo, Harmony, and How-Much-You-Liked-It. There will be a prize for the best in each category, with no one winning more than one category. This is for the Master/Mistress and below entrants. There will also be a prize for best round by a bard, judged the same way. Email questions about music or anything else to Poesy at windsofdawn dotty org.
