Description:		This session contains the balche ceremony proper, when all the guests have arrived and the drinking begins. The ceremony begins at noon. It is extremely hot and very sunny. AM serves his guests balche, pouring each gourdful into the recipients' individual cups. Everyone is animated and talk over one another. At times the scene gets downright raucous. AM then asks each of the men to participate in the ceremony. Most decline, but a few men accompany AM, and they stand chanting together over the godpots. Later, SK chants with AM and makes offerings to the gods. The drinking, laughing, and talking continue throughout this ritual. After the offerings have been made, AM joins his guests. The ceremony terminates with the emptying of the balche log. By then, many men are quite drunk. The collectors did not film up to this point. See Bal_Rit_AM_01 and Bal_Rit_Prep for activities involved in the preparation for this ceremony.
