The Purpose
The Purpose of the Green Trumpet Herald is: To provide heraldic support to the Autocrats (Event Stewards) of Kingdom-Level events in the announcement of information (duty heralds/ town criers).
Responsibilities
At ALL Kingdom-Level events, do the following:
- Work with the Creen Cloak Herald to ascertain which heralds are available for Town Crier responsibilities, and create a schedule of same.
- Make sure that all regalia needed for the event is available.
- Set up a table at Heralds Point to take announcements, consulting with the individuals requesting announcements for clarity, appropriateness, etc.
- Monitor the quality of the announcements, the voices of the heralds performing the actual "shouts", etc.
Training
The Green Trumpet Herald is responsible for all Town Crier Heraldry in the Kingdom, whether or not it is at a Kingdom event. At Principality events, work with the Principality Herald to ensure their needs are being met, both in service and in training. If they or their subordinates need the latter, work with them to build a training program. (This can be done in coordination with the Kingdom's needs, at Kingdom Collegia or at impromptu sessions at events.) If at a local event, work with the local heralds or with the autocrat if there isn't a local herald to ensure that town crier heraldry is being performed in such a way as to provide a consistently high standard of service throughout the Kingdom.
