Every year it’s the same thing, but it never gets boring,” said senior Laura Guyer about the Madrigal Christmas Dinner held the first week in Demcember. Dressed in attire of 18th century England, the select group of singers entertained their guests with medleys of English ballads. Other vocal groups from the music department also added to the program. Preceding the program was a feast of traditional foods such as barley soup, roast beef au jus and plum pud- ding. The dinner began with a proces- sion of the Madrigals into the cafe- teria where the king and queen and their lords and ladies seated them- selves at the high table. The Wassail cup was raised and a toast to the new year was offered. The Boar’s Head was brought in on a platter and the Yule Log was burned, as was the custom in English manor houses at the Christmas season. Besides parents and friends, several local churches brought groups to enjoy the medieval atmosphere and enter- tainment. Warren’s Madrigal Dinner has gained a wide recognition and is an event anticipated by many eastsiders. Serious joker.
