be at Perryville 2002 under Dom, don't miss this prequel!

This is a set of general selection guidelines in the form of questions to better
analyze prospective Alternative Circuit Events for inclusion in this schedule.
1) Event Portrayal: Is the event portrayal in a documented historical setting?
What "slice of life," or "vignette" in terms of the historic
event scenario occurring on the given date, will we portray? How deeply will the firper be
researched?
2) Authenticity: Will there be guidelines and standards published well in
advance? Will the material, physical, social, and political (period) culture of the unit
impression be appropriate?
3) Communication: Will there be a listserver? A website? Printed and mailed packets
of materials? Will registration be individual or group?
4) Logistics: How are the logistics to be handled? If it's a march, what has to be
lined up in terms of landowner permission, cooperation of authorities, and a chase
vehicle? Will there be special accomodations for people flying to the event. How
will safety be handled? Will there be a logistics and admin support cell for this event?
5) Location: Where is it physically going to be held in terms of geography and
location? Is it on original ground? Will it trace or parallel original march routes?
How much actual campaign movement is in this event?
6) Participation: Who will participate? What type of event will it be? Will
civilians be actively encouraged to have meaningful roles and interaction?
7) Organization: Will the leadership selected be able to plan, organize, resource,
and execute the event both on and off the field? Leadership i.e. who can execute? Who has
the vision? Can and will this vision be instilled in the participants?
8) Preservation: Is the money going in part, in whole (net), or not at all to
preservation? If so, where and how much? Who benefits? Will the accounting be made public
after the event?
9) Freshness: Has this been done before? If so, has it been beat to death? Is this
impression and event covering new ground? How does this event push the envelope?
10) Camp life: Letters from home? Packages? Ration Issues? Equipment issues?
Contests? Entertainment? Activities? Drill? Pickets? Guard Mount?
11) Educational Opportunities: Will it be at a deserving NPS/State/Local/Private
historical site where people are there looking for CW history? Are we educating ourselves
through an immersive experience? Is this an event where people are there to gawk and be
entertained?
12) Attitudes: What kind of personality clashes might arise during the course of
this event? Could they ruin the event? What is the mindset of those considering
attendence? What do they say, what is their personality and attitude like when the event
is discussed?
