Student Comments on Suwannee Banjo Camp, 2007

General Comments

Fabulous, incredible, can’t say enough. This was a wonderful, memorable experience, one of the best weekends of my life! It was a joy through and through. All the faculty were very helpful. It was wonderful to see and hear Bob Carlin and Brad Leftwich jamming together. It was also great to participate in a jam with Alan Jabbour. The whole experience was a joyful high the whole weekend. Thank you all so much!! (Brian Nolan: Salem, Virginia )

This camp offers a great opportunity for exposure to some of the greatest instructors/players in the country. Just getting together with the student body would be worth it, but the faculty do a great job of preventing banjo chaos. I’m looking forward to SBC #5. See you again next year!
