Band Scramble ~ Thursday June 14 2018

Tottenham Band Scramble

The Tottenham Bluegrass Committee would like to invite you to participate in our 3rd annual Band Scramble event on Thursday Evening at the Conservation Area.

Band Scramble 2015Throughout the week, Mike Kirley and Al Benner will be around sites looking for pickers to sign up for the Band Scramble, which is to be held Thursday night on a stage in the parking lot at the top of the hill. If you are interested in participating and have not seen Mike or Al, please drop by and register around 6:30pm on the Thursday evening.

Participants put their names in a box with the names of the instrument they play. Names are randomly drawn to form bands. They have 15 minutes to come up with three songs and a name for the band; then they must perform on the stage provided.

There will be a contest for the best band name. FUN!!! tottenham_bluegrass_bandscamble

Everyone is welcome to drop by, to participate or just come and enjoy some great bluegrass music.
