Part 1:  The Madrigal Dinner

The Processional


Bowing to the King and Queen (Jeff Schwarting and Kayla Sayre)




The Singing Knights servers were amazing!  Our table had Haleigh Brockman.


The Page (Amelia Barrett) presents the Wassail Bowl.




"Wes Hale!"


The Trumpeters introduce each part of the dinner with a fanfare.




Our Minstrel (Ben Stokke) starts to tell a story...


...starring "Ye Olde Grinch" (Ryan Epp).


Grinchy Claus and his Dog Max (Ty Mills) head to Knightville for some looting.




Briefly side tracked by questions from little Lily-white Knight (Jessie Tidball).


Posing with the Boar's Head






Amelia takes good care of the Figgy Pudding.





The Town Crier (Kellyn Wooten), duties done, enjoys a hearty meat pie.




The alumni table! Leslie Elam, Caitlin Smith, Jenny Larrew, Claire Baddeley, Erica Thiel, and Meagan Wilcox.


Our special guest, Chris Sayre, leads our Medieval Carol Singalong.  Thanks, Kayla's dad!

Part 2:  The Holiday Concert

After the dinner, we all head to the sanctuary for the concert.






Members of Court Choir wait for the concert to begin.  My camera was being passed around during the concert, so I'm afraid we didn't get pictures of all of the groups (including Court Choir).  We did get a video of Court Choir, though.




Excalibur.




This is the best pic I could get of the two Renaissance dancers that led each choir to the stage. 
Trust me, though--they were wonderful!


Queen's Court.






Knight Sounds.




Betty and her husband Larry enjoy the concert.  No, I didn't take this shot.


78 Singing Knights swarm onto the stage.


Countesses and Noblemen.












Yet another picture for the Sasha gallery.


The brothers Salistean:  Singing Knight Adam and 2005 Bel Canto and Court Choir alum Tom.




Heading home.
