At one event the officials would not let my sister play her "Deo" loud enoug to be heard out of the area she was camped in.
I am not sure how realistic a camp should be but as long as there is not an event or court going on, it seems like some adjustment should be allowed.
Nuf said.

I agree. Except for court, concerts, demos, and certain competitions, there should be a lot of leway. I mean, half the filks out there are done to modern melodies. Of course, at most of the events in my area there hasn't really been a problem, so I can't complain.

I think that recordings of modern music, with modern lyrics, should be kept to a quiet level in one's encampment, since in general the SCA atmosphere tries to be period-oid, at least. Recordings of period dance music, done in a vaguely period style is fine. And I have no problem with listening to modern songs being morphed to a filked set of SCAdian lyrics, since filking is an art that's quite period... heck, we encourage that around our campfire at every camping event we go to...

Well, I can understand why they wouldn't want 'modern' music playing loud enough that it could be out of camp. But then again it all depends on how larger her camp was!! sweatdrop
But I *personally, please don't take offence sweatdrop * think that obviously modern music (techno, or grundge, or emo, or punk, etc.) shouldn't be allowed at events - at least not louder then the area you're in. (ie: play it at your camp, as long as no one else hears it, or play on your 'bard in a box' *mp3 players/CD players* )
But I think that anything even slightly resembling period music (umm... Enya, Heather Alexander, Loreena McKennitt, etc.) should be allowed - just not at court, or other 'official matters'
Just to try and keep it SCA! 3nodding heart
I mean, hell - I go nowhere without my MP3 player, listen to my music all the time, and if someone brings speakers and wants me to play it, sure!! But just not very loud! 3nodding heart
And hell, last year at Spring Coronet, my friends and I got bored at about 11pm, and started singing Arrogant Worms songs at the top of our lungs! rofl heart
So I'm by no means strickt, I just think a little effort should be put in to try and keep *obviously* modern music out? Maybe? sweatdrop
Arg, my final word is - It all depends on where you are, and what the music is!! rofl heart

Wow, I really wish that some of the people in my area would take events that seriously. No one ever seems to get into personna around here.
By the way, I destory drums. Not by overuse, but by upturning them over the players heads and thrusting down. Sorry. Not much makes me as cross as drumming makes me.

Now every time I hear Bellady (sp?), I feel an overwhelming urge to kill. D< heart

Urgh, bad drumming; you have my sympathy. A couple of years ago, we had a newbie belly dancer invade our camp (she was nominally a friend of one of the local SCAdians who was visiting with us), and pretty much demand that we watch while she danced (to a pretty mediocre drummer). We humored her for a little while, and if she had been more polite about it, we might have been more encouraging. But between her crass attitude and the fact that the drummer thought he was hot s**t, we eventually abandoned camp and did a walkabout of the event. When we got back, they were gone.
Mind you, I have nothing against middle eastern personas or music within the SCA. When done well, they're both a fabulous addition. And when done at least with enthusiasm and a good attitude, the up-and-coming folks can be entertaining...

Personally, at avent I bring my Ipod and speakers.I usually share a tent with my friends, and at night when we are in the we listen to modern music.But all other times, we play instruments or listen to concerts.

I just realised I didn't mention any of the music at events I do like, which makes me feel a bit guilty.
Our group has a group of people who play period music live for dancing, which I think is absolutely marvelous. Period dancing is really quite fun and it's always better with live music.
As for music with lyrics... I love bardic circles. Love 'em. Yes, alot of what you get isn't period, filks to modern songs about SCA life, and stories about why it took us two days to get to a one day event last year, but that's part of the campfire experience. As is the sharing of unidentifed liquids. It's great.

Some leeway for filks and other folksy sounding stuff is fine, as I see it. But getting about 5 people together at a Bardic Circle to sing 'The Internet Is For Porn'? Well, not so much. Know where the lines are drawn, it only takes a little common sense. mrgreen
