Introductions of Young Ladies: We will be having a formal entrance and introduction for all the girls, on Saturday evening between 6 and 6:30 pm. They will enter the ballroom on a red carpet and walk under young men's crossed swords, while escorted by other men (young or old). When registering, please be sure to select whether you would like to be announced, and whether you made your own dress.
Gentlemen can select whether they would like to be sword-bearers for the sword arch and/or escorts for young ladies not already taken. We have some swords available, but if you have your own sword, especially a period-appropriate sword, please bring it. Fathers, brothers, and friends are welcome to escort a particular young lady, but also men, both young and old, are invited to be available to escort those who are not already taken.
If you plan on being introduced or are a sword-bearer or escort, please make sure to be back at the Event Center Saturday evening at 5:30 - 5:45. The young ladies will each need to get the card with her name on it (which she will give the announcer as she enters the ballroom) and then line up outside the doorway. For difficult-to-pronounce names it may be good to write the pronunciation on the card or discuss with the announcer before getting in line.
Since we only have a half hour to announce the young ladies, this will be limited only to young ladies. Sorry mothers and adult women 25 and older.
