Every other year, Shorecrest's Pipe Band and Highland
Dancers present their "Medieval Banquet." An evening
of traditional Scottish entertainment and 'medieval' style
food.
The
hearty menu consists of meaty ribs, thick barley soup, whole
grain peasant bread and salad. Our medieval style salad
is actually just some raw veggies piled in the center of
the table. Haggis, the traditional Scottish delecacy, is
an optional bonus. No eating utensiles are provided, only
a towel. You will no doubt need it.
Entertainment
is provided by Shorecrest's Pipe Band and Highland Dancers,
with special guest performers rounding out the program.
Both solo and ensemble performances are featured and you
never know what sort of surprises are in store.
Honored
guests and nobles are seated at the head table and preside
over the evening. All guests are encouraged to dress in
medieval or Scottish costume and, keeping with the medieval
theme, must sing for use of the communal bowl of salt kept
at the head table.
The banquet is our main fundraiser and is always a crowd-pleaser
and community favorite. To offset expenses and provide some
variety, we alternate yearly between the Highland
Arts Concert and the Medieval Banquet.
Community
involvement is essential and we have always made a great
effort to involve and cater to our local Shoreline and Seattle
supporters. Advertising space is available for sale in our
banquet program and donations or sponsorships are indeed
welcome.
We look forward to seeing you and your family at our next
Medieval Banquet. Be sure to check back for updates!
