Advanced camp qualifications are somewhat hard to define, but are based on experience and attitude. The camp is intended for serious players who have been members of bluegrass bands. A basic knowledge of Scruggs style and repertoire is expected, and it is assumed that all players have a sizable repertoire, having been in at least one performing band. Applicants are encouraged to submit a recording (homemade OK, but band CD preferable) that includes their playing, or at least a brief letter explaining their qualifications and interests.
