The All Kids Band

We encourage all musicians 19 and under to make room M138 your home room thru-out the weekend. This is the YOUNG MUSICIANS ROOM. Even if you don't play, we can let you try out a fiddle or another instrument. Come meet other young musicians and do some jamming. We try to have instructional workshops on Friday and Saturday.

In the past the kids band has been for anyone 19 and under who plays an instrument and wants to participate. The band has been known to play on stage both Friday & Saturday night. Kids Band meets and practices in Room #M138
We will not be in the kids room most of Thursday. But join us Friday or Saturday as we will be there almost all day.

Convention History
The Arkansas Fiddlers Convention was organized in November of 1983 in Harrison  by a large group of Arkansas music lovers. The first one was held March 16,17,18 with about 2000 in attendance .  Dennis Taylor, first president and founder of the convention when asked why it was started said.  "It is a place for musicians to get together to learn new licks and have a good time, with the fiddle as the featured instrument."
