As of yesterday the plan is to have an Antietam Early Banjo Gathering every year, for the next five, on the last full weekend of June. So there will be one June 25-26, 2011.<br />

This five-year plan (initiated by the National Park Service interpretive staff) has to do with the Antietam National Battlefield celebration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War years.

This five-year plan (initiated by the National Park Service interpretive staff) has to do with the Antietam National Battlefield celebration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War years. There will be other period music onsite, such as one or more military brass band; maybe fife and drum units; maybe other stuff. (I may try to persuade them to have Sacred Harp singing at the Dunker Church.) There may be significant crowds; but then the park has over 3,000 acres, with 8 1/2 miles of paved road through it. The period music will be at several different venues, maybe including the Pry House barn, but certainly not limited to it. Plans are just being formulated -- the banjo ones, this morning. But I didn't go back, this morning -- only had time for one day of AEBG 3. There were about 18 active participants, I believe. Tim Twiss was sorely missed. There were a bunch of early-banjo specialist luthiers, all of whom have attended one or both of the previous AEBGs. I can think of a couple who haven't showed up, yet (and could learn something, if they did).<br />

I saw Elaine Masciale taking videos yesterday. Don't know if any of the other videographers who were present are on this forum. I only took a few still photos. If I post mine, it will be on a separate AEBG thread, not on your personal lamentation. But I feel your pain.

Well, you are in the right place. If there is something to be known about this genre, you will find it here. Good folks, with lots of talents and resources. Don't be shy. Dig in!
