SWBA Sponsored Program:
Bluegrass in Schools
SWBA
is currently conducting a School Program that
brings bluegrass music and instruments into the classroom, thereby introducing
this uniquely American form of music to the next generation.
Since 2006,
students attended Huck Finn Jubilee. Accompanied by Eric Nordbeck, their
instructor and SWBA School Program
Chairperson, they have appeared before a very responsive and enthusiastic
audience on the Huck Finn main stage
and on the SWBA stage in the Entertainers camp area..
The SWBA School Program uses donated
instruments and funds. Anyone who wishes to donate to the program may
do so by contacting Lloyd Morris at
education@s-w-b-a.com,
or by clicking
HERE.
All funds contributed for the School Program go to a special bank account
set up exclusively for that purpose and will not be used for any other SWBA
expenses.
