2009 was our biggest event ever!

2010 Contest will be on Feb. 27.

The fiddle contest now has its own website:

www.rogersvillefiddle.com

 

 

Beginning in 2004, the Ball Sisters Band has hosted "The East Tennessee Young Bluegrass Musicians Bluegrass Contest" in Rogersville, Tennessee. This contest is for musicians eighteen and under and is held the last Saturday in February at Rogersville Middle School. It benefits the Cherokee High School Band. We've enjoyed our role in starting and continuing this event. We hope we have encouraged some of our areas young pickers!
