Green Squire Stage Directions

Big Ring

• Run to the blue section shield with poop bucket; place bucket under shield and scooper under lance rack.
• Take the Green knight’s lance, remove rings and give to R/Y Squire, set lance on lowest rung of rack.
• Run to dais to catch knights’ fallen flowers.

Flag Toss

• Run out to stand beside R/Y Squire and pick up any flags that the knights drop. R/Y sets up the flag stand; toss him the next flag leaning against the wall behind you. First B/W, then red.
• Run to the dais to catch flowers again.
• After all winning knights get flowers, peek behind the curtain and nod to the Red Squire. He will open the curtain. Attach the chain around the curtain to keep it from being loose.
• Go stand in front of the Green section shield.

Javelin

• The other squires will hand you the javelins after the knights have thrown them into the target. Jab them in the sand to make two piles for hits and misses. Try to keep the colours on their respective sides if possible.
• After the Green knight emerges from the tunnel, help the Red Squire unchain the curtain and wait to catch flowers.

Little Ring

• Run to R/Y Squire; he will hand you a ring to hold (or maybe you have to take it off the wall).
• Keep an eye out for waitresses or patrons near the edge of the arena. Warn them that lances are coming.
• Pick up any rings that fall off the bar and attach them to empty ring holders that R/Y squire may hand you. After three knights have passed, quickly place the ring holders on the wall. Unhook the bar and place on the wall. Run backstage and open the curtain when Lord Marshal says, “…East and West!” Close the curtain behind him, then take his horse to its stall.

Joust pres position is third from the right (last open position). Take a big side step to the left when you get to the end. Both Green and Red squires should be shoulder-to-shoulder and lined up as if they were standing together on the stairs in the audience.
