Each group has time commitment, before fair, for participation. Some have rehearsal times, and some require personal time to research history and skills. Almost all will require you to create or modify clothing to fit the groups costuming requirements.
There might be costs associated with your participation that you should understand at the start. Please consider this in your decision to participate. Different groups listed above have different costs.
