	* Castellan XXXIII: The Two Towers - May 19th to 21st - [[Will Rogers Boy Scout Reservation]]: At the bardic event, Misier Vitalis played ''"I never knew I loved Thee"'', unknown composer, from the Rowallen Lute book, and ''“Preludium #98”'' by John Dowland, from Diana Pulton's Collected Lute Music of John Dowland. This offering was enough to qualify him for the final round of that competition. Misier Vitalis entered the A&S competition with a performance of Joan Ambrosio Dalza’s ''“Tastar de corde col suo ricercar, #4”'' published in 1508. In the Bardic Finals, the competitors were tasked with performing a piece that signified the light among darkness of the Two Towers. Promptly, Misier Vitalis dashed into the woods. Upon his return he played a rendition of Bregolad’s Song, a lament of the ents set in the form of a baroque passacaglia in G minor. Their excellences were much pleased by this offering, and Misier Vitalis was selected as the titled '''Bard of Northkeep'''.		* Castellan XXXIII: The Two Towers - May 19th to 21st - [[Will Rogers Boy Scout Reservation]]: At the bardic event, Misier Vitalis played ''"I never knew I loved Thee"'', unknown composer, from the Rowallen Lute book, and ''“Preludium #98”'' by John Dowland, from Diana Pulton's Collected Lute Music of John Dowland.
