Characters gain +1 attack bonus at every odd level and +1 saves at every even level, regardless of class (and regardless of whether they're at 21+ levels in one clasd, like Kass, or multiclassed, like Aria). HD/HP, skills, and ability score increases (one every 4 levels) continue normally.<br/><br/>Feats continue normally (one every three levels), except epic feats can now be chosen as well (if their specific prereqs are met.)<br/><br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/feats.htm)<br/><br/>Epic Bard also gets an epic bonus feat at 23rd level and every 3 levels thereafter. This is in addition to the 'general' feats and from a certain list (sort of like fighter bonus feats). Bards also progress their caster level and some of their class features. I believe Bardic Knack and the sonic echoblade bonus damage will continue at 1/2 bard level, including the epic levels.  Bard, like all other spellcasters, doesn't automatically gain extra spell slots or spells known after 20th, but the Improved Spell Capacity and Spell Knowledge feats can be used to gain more. If you gain a 7th level slot with Improved Spell Capacity, you'd also get a bonus slot or slots from having a high Charisma. Higher level slots can be used for lower level spells, and-or for metamagic'ed versions of lower level spells if you have metamagic feats. (Or you could power higher-level runestaff spells with them.)<br/><br/>Most epic classes are like this: fewer 'default' new class features / improvements, but epic bonus feats which are like customizable class features (such as the feats for new uses of bardic music.)<br/><br/>http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/classProgressions.htm (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/epic/classProgressions.htm)
