2022 Swing Camp Alberta – Tentative Schedule

Swing/Django Camp Alberta 19-21 August 2022.

Here is a suggested schedule, subject to change according to needs.

Friday
1 to 7 PM  Arrival and set up.  Early day jamming.

Individual supper time.  

7:00 PM.   BYO drinks and cocktails for a meet and greet. Do round-the-picnic-table introductions.  Discuss interests in workshops and band scramble.  Followed by a group warm up jam. 

We can split jams into two or more groups. We can split by expertise (newer jammer vs intermediate/advanced). Or we could split into general swing and Django if people prefer.  It would be nice to designate a leader for each and go over jam etiquette (bluegrass circle kind of rules).
