Bardic Dinner is inspired by the age-old tradition of warrior feasts when men would gather to regale their brothers in arms with stories and songs. It is a vital part of Tutorial - a memorial feast when we toast to the Journeymen and enjoy delicious food prepared by our Riverside culinary experts. Saturday, May 16, we will become men of the western frontier. All third-year boys are invited. Fathers and Tutorial brothers of the soon-to-be-Journeymen also are welcome. All are asked to dress in western attire.﻿Please arrive at the property (49W226 Jericho Rd., Big Rock) by 5 p.m. During the evening, in addition to a feast, we will be entertained by poems performed by the third years. (I will be assigning these to groups of three to four boys soon.)&nbsp; We are asking $20.00 per person to cover the cost and would appreciate it if you would pay this fee in advance through the RSVP link. Please let us know if you have any questions. Note: This event is for third-year boys only.
