Heraldry, notes

Briefly, things I'd like to change for next time:

Find/make the time to write down each scribe, composer, carver, etc. for each scroll item, even if already on the advance list.
Get my own tabard.
Get a more period looking folder/portfolio to hold my documents and support the scroll. A leather one from the office store is OK but not great.
Bring a second pencil. Pens were nearly useless.
Remember to bring my baton, even if I lay it aside after the processional.
Take the time to confirm we have medallions as needed (I didn't check, but apparently somebody did or we got lucky this time).
If heralding for this particular crown again, add index cards to Their packet for each presentation.

Yes, I asked too, and was told "[retainer] is bringing Her Majesty's box," which didn't really satisfy me that we weren't going to get to the OTC and have nothing suitable in the box. So sue me, I can be a control nut.

Ignore the retainer. Find the box. Direct experience has shown that sometimes Her Majesty's box does not contain what we need.
