So shall I go through the tune 3 times or 4 times or what? Bc I’d kinda like to do 4 but I don’t want to stretch the attention span of the judges :joy:

Whatever you can fit in 2.5 minutes. I don’t see anything wrong with going through it 4 times.

Those 3 judges already have to sit through hours and hours of contest music without switching out (just the bluegrass team and the old-time team). I’d say their attention span is already stretched and don’t expect the judging to be fair because people say Galax is so random. Last year about half of us placed in our categories and half didn’t - it’s pretty random, but fun either way.

I’ve been in Carolina changing my transmission, and haven’t had my computer.

He wanted me to mail it in for him. I’m like “dude, you have to sign it!”

Haha! Timothy and I did that a few weeks ago for a friend of ours who was procrastinating for the guitar competition. Timothy texted him “send me a digital scribble of your signature.” Then we mailed in his form with his signature added on top. He got the self addressed postcard in the mail as confirmation. :wink:
