Vampire Knight Ball and Panel Information
Friday March 12: 10pm[/b][/color]
Alright, for those of you who have probably been waiting a while finally, I have the information ready to post to you! Please be aware that anything can change at any point. However, we don't really plan on changing much. Maybe minor details is all. Here we go!
Silver Aura of Dawn Cosplay will be hosting the Vampire Knight Panel and Vampire Knight Ball for Kawa Kon 2010! Both will be hosted by the Night Class of Hino Matsuri's Vampire Knight! The cast will be in full LARP mode, allowing for a more realistic Vampire Knight experience.
Don't know about Vampire Knight? Our panel will feature a brief discussion on the series to help fill you in, hopefully without the use of many spoilers. Its possible to run through a storyline without spoiling too many main events.
Dont like Vampire Knight? Good news is, the Ball is not only for Vampire Knight fans, so feel free to join us! Sure its based off of the Ball in the manga and anime, but that doesn't mean its only VK related. ^.^ This event should be treated more like a prom or homecoming formal/semiformal dance.
Ok! Now for main details!
****Vampire Knight Panel!****
The panel will feature a brief discussion on Vampire Knight, filling in gaps for those who may have missed something and those who are not familiar with the series. We will also have a small trivia.
The highlight of the panel will be a special Q&A session with the Night Class of Vampire Knight, which will be our cosplay group in full LARP mode.
During the Q&A, you may ask whatever appropriate question you would like, and the characters will answer in the way their characters would in the series, or probably would. We thought this would be a little fun interactive experience with your favorite character.
Also, at the end of the panel, we will be doing a brief tutorial on how to waltz for the ball!
If you have any other suggestions or ideas, please submit them to me or just leave in comment!
If you have any special questions you would like answered from any of your favorite VK characters at the panel and for our cosplay video, please send the question to me via pm!
****Vampire Knight Ball!****
This is a formal based on the ball featured in the manga and anime. It will be hosted by Silver Aura of Dawn Cosplay cosplaying as the VK Cast in full LARP. The theme is leaned more towards Romantic, and calm, so expect to see roses and hopefully a red carpet as you come in!
The beginning of the ball will be a demonstration on how to waltz in case you were not able to go to or did not go to the panel.
We are also working on a contest or two that will take place during the ball. ^.^ Please check back for any updates we may have!
Formal attire PREFERRED, but not required. You have other options too!!!!
-prom dresses
-lolita/cocktail dresses (I know most loli dresses are about knee length, that's why they're together)
-Aristocratic Lolita (especially men's) (so long as you dont wear heavy V-Kei makeup)
-sun dresses
-dress shirts (button up/polos)
-dress pants (black/grey/navy/white pants, you guys know what dress pants are..)
-tie
-suit jacket
-slacks
-skirts (as long as it's not mini-skirts)
-male school uniforms (unless girl uniform skirts are at least knee length)
-male Vampire Knight Uniforms
-military uniforms
-kimono
-priest(ess) robes
-tuxedos (it's not that formal, but there are some who may like to show up in one)
Also extendinding to:
-formal cosplays (cosplays that are already wearing formal attire. Such as some in Kuroshitsuji cosplay)
-vampire wear (so if you would like to bring your fangs, then you may! ^.^)
And if you absolutely can not come up with any of the above, then nice clothing can work. Such as something you would wear to work or job interview. Lets try to avoid jeans, miniskirts, tennis shoes, t-shirts, and shorts (unless paired/required with specific lolita outfit).
Girls can wear mens attire if they wish.
If you do not have a room at the hotel, and can not change into formal attire, please do not worry! You can still come!!
We would like everyone to be able to come, so please dont fret if you cant get your hands on something really nice! We want everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves!
If you have a question about what you want to wear, please just feel free to ask! Dont be afraid! You can ask me in a pm or here in the forum if you like. ^.^
MUSIC!!!
What sort of music will we play? Certainly we will have some compositions and waltzy style music, but we dont want to play only that for all you exciting folk all night! So we are throwing in some trance, hime trance, soundtrack scores from various games, anime and movies, and also some soft J-Pop and J-Rock halfway through the night!! If you have some suggestions, feel free to post! We may not get to it, but we will definately run it by everyone on cast and consider it!
Some J-artists on our list include X-Japan, Gackt, Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, Ayaka, Hyde, Dir en Grey and MORE!!! We also threw in some David Bowie for you Labyrinth fans! ^.~ If you have a special request, please submit an artist and song!
Some games and anime on our list include Kuroshitsuji, Hellsing, various Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Vampire Knight, and more!
Because this is not a rave, the music played will be different for the most part, especially in the first half you should expect a lot of ballroom style anime music (such as A Diabolic Waltz from Kuroshitsuji), and lean more towards couple dancing, but we will definitely play music all night not requiring another person! And dont forget, you can always dance with one of the members of the cast!!!
Also, please note that you DO NOT have to have a date! Just bring you! ^.^ If you would like to bring a date, then you may. But please follow all convention and hotel rules and remain appropriate!
PROCEDURE!!
Like a real ball, this one will kick off with the hosts leading the first dance! (First minute or so of the first song). Then when the headmaster announces it, everyone may join in for the rest of the night!
Lineup:
Kaname/Yuuki
Kain/Ruka
Shiki/Rima
Ichjijou/Seiren (if we get a Seiren, if not, then one of you!)
Aidou will choose someone from audience (one of you)
Everyone
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DANCE WITH A CAST MEMBER AT ANY POINT...just ask the one you would like to dance with! ^.^
At the end of the ball, a King and Queen will be announced to lead the first dance of the last few songs! King and Queen may choose to dance with each other, or with a cast member! These two will be chosen through one of our contests! (still working on details!)
CONTESTS!!
We are still working out the details, but there will be several contests for everyone to get involved in for some prizes, and, a major more scavenger-hunt like contest for being crowned King and Queen of the ball!
BALL JOINTED DOLL DISPLAY TABLE!!
We will also be setting up a table if you would like to bring your ball jointed dolls! The table will be off limits for touching though, so that the dolls can be protected, and we will have some sort of small fence around the table to avoid people going and touching or bumping. We intend to set up the table off to the side, where it is not an ideal place to dance. So please dont worry about the safety of your dolls. I will be bringing mine as well (Rogue-dono on Den of Angels).
RULES!!
*Please follow all convention and hotel rules!
*You must have your badge!
*There is no age limit set unless the convention would like to set one, so please remember to be courteous to those younger or older than you.
*Please do not touch any of the dolls on display at the ball without permission from the owner! These dolls are VERY expensive, and we want nothing to happen to them during the event.
*Have fun!
