If you would be interested in ‘Student Judging’ at KAS: “Did
you ever want to find out what it was like to be a judge at
an A & S Competition? Did you ever think about entering,
but really didn’t know what it was all about?  Well,
consider being a Student Judge. We are accepting requests to
be student judges now!  The schedule is posted, so you
can take a look at the entries and the times. Here are the
guidelines: 1)  Student judges need to send me an email
ahead of time, so that we can have the proper forms
available. 2)  We can have no more than one student
judge per entry. 3)  Student judges scores will not be
counted in the scoring. So, register with me early if you
want to student judge!  The early bird gets…well, you
know the rest.  There are 40 individual entries, so only
40 spaces available! In case you haven’t see it, here is the
judging schedule.  The judging schedule is subject to
change without notice  <http://www.currentmiddleages.org/artsci/KASchampionship_entrants2008.html>
(There are already changes to note: #38 is withdrawn; #4 is
changed to 1130 AD Danish Kirtle). Send me an email if you
want to be a student judge.  It’s a great experience!
