2. On the day of the event, at the prescribed time, perform 2 songs for the judges and assembled populace.
– One song (at least) is to be of period origin, presented with your best attempt at documentation. (Who? What? Where? When? and Why? are good things to cover)

Please provide a brief write up, consisting of who wrote the song, what song is the tune based on (if it is a filk), when and where the song was written, if you can find that information.
