Concept:

Joan and the knights that fought at her side in battle, particularly her first battle, the Siege of Orléans.

Full member costumes:

Full members (all genders) costume as knights, archers, cannoneers, or anyone else who might have been found at the Siege of Orléans. English or Burgundian villian characters are also welcome and can walk in front of the Orléans prop defending the Orléans city wall against Joan’s army and their confetti cannon.

Music:

You’ll be within earshot of the bagpipes and can also enjoy the cannon drummers revving up the crowd for the firing of the confetti cannon. (Joan’s strategic use of cannon was a key strength!)

Props:

Hobby horse cavalry board, authentic-looking medieval cannons that fire biodegradable confetti, and the Gates of Orléans wall prop.
