A royal time at merry old Northwest

Tickets on sale Monday for Yuletide Feaste

   Tickets go on sale Monday, Nov. 12, for Northwest's 34th annual Yuletide Feaste, a Renaissance-themed holiday celebration featuring more than 50 musicians, singers, actors, lords, ladies and, of course, royal personages in full regalia.
   Sponsored by the Department of Music, the Feaste (Dec. 7-8) offers a glimpse of the Christmas season as celebrated in the noble halls of Tudor England more than 400 years ago.
   Highlights include a banquet of 16^th century-style delicacies and "command" performances by the Northwest Madraliers, the Recorder Consort and Royale Brass Quintet. MORE

Three yards and a pile of laughing kids

   Bearcat linebacker Matt Robertson (standing) and defensive end Caleb Dohrman (on the ground covering his head) had their hands full last week during a Tjeerdsma Field practice session with the Horace Mann Lab School Kindergarten. 
   The Bearcats will continue helping out the lab school during the week of Nov. 12, when Northwest athletes read to children for Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) days.
