Mandolin contest

[keymandoguy]

going to enter my first mandolin contest in about 6 weeks one slow tune and one fast tune showtunes like Orangeblossom special arent allowed ! #What exactly do the judges look for when judging mandolin playing? thought i would do a lot of tremalo on first song ? Maybe do a medium tempo song for second and try to make sure i pick clean notes ? You good pickers out there have any suggestion ?thinking of playing theme from the Godfather and either Under the Double Eagle or Yakity Mandolin for second song.

Kenneth IF I was in a mando contest my slow song would be either Wayfaring Stranger or Dark and Slender Boy and my fast song would either be Boston Boy (Skaggs style) or Mandolin Meltdown

good luck!
