HAGGIS RAMPANT at the LOUISIANA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL 2009 -- 01:08 The family band HAGGIS RAMPANT (Pam, Steve and Gillian) play a rousing version of "Scotland the Brave" during one of their shows at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival in 2009. Their performances are always fun, as they often ad-lib during their shows: in this clip, Pam takes off to "drum around" the audience, then Gillian tries to upstage her father by way of example.

ORDO PROCINCTUS at the LOUISIANA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL 2009 -- 01:28 Three clips show the progression of competition during a display of medieval combat techniques sponsored by Ordo Procinctus during the Louisiana Renaissance Festival in 2009. Four knights spar in the first round, then must race to the center to pick up their weapons before fighting in the second while in the third round only ONE weapon is available for the three remaining challengers! There's no bloodshed, but do be prepared for VIOLENCE!!!
