What is a bluegrass scramble?
All participants will enter the contest by placing their name in the “bucket” for their preferred instrument to play that day. Note for Multi-instrumentalists
We will draw to compose the bands which will be created.
Once the bands are formed, they will have 1 hour to practice and all bands will report back to the barn after the 1 hour practice limit. We will have some activities for the crowd during the practice time while we wait for the show to begin.
Each band will be performing 3-4 songs (determined based on the number of bands and time), one will be an instrumental and come up with a clever name for the band also.
Bands will perform in the order they were chosen.
After all bands have competed, the crowd will vote for the trophy categories and we will hold the award ceremonies.
Don't miss out on these events!
