Play In a Banjo Orchestra

Increase Your Knowledge of Classic Banjo

Improve Your Playing Skills

The ABF has two rallies a year - a Spring Rally in late May and a Fall Rally in late October.  Enjoy jamming, round robin playing, and socializing with other classic banjo players.  Each rally has a theme so you are introduced to music or instruments that may be new to you.

 

Part of each rally is the banjo orchestra.  I know of no other opportunity to learn and play part of a banjo orchestra.  Tune up your classic banjo for 1^st and 2^nd parts.  Dust off your cello, banjeaurine or piccolo banjo to complete the orchestra.

Participating in and jamming at rallies is a great opportunity to improve you playing skills.  Working on exercises and
music published by the ABF will
broaden your classic banjo horizons.

History of classic banjo is a major part of the ABF.  Learn from and meet experts.  It is a great place to get your questions answered and learn about the classic banjo period.

The “5 Stringer” is the publication of the ABF.  It is currently published twice a year.  Issues have reports on the rallies, book and CD reviews, history articles, and other items of classic banjo interest.  The membership dues amount to $5 per issue.  What a deal!

The ABF maintains a library of thousands of classic banjo pieces.  Copies are available through the librarian for a nominal fee.  If you are looking for a special number, chances are we have it.
