How many students can I register at once?

The maximum number of students allowed to be purchased in a single order is five (5). This includes both adults, vehicles, and kids. You are limited to one(1) per class so you can’t purchase (3) Novice Banjo classes but you can purchase (1) Novice Banjo and (1) Intermediate Banjo.

These limits are designed to allow families or groups to attend together but limits groups from buying too many tickets at once or more than they need.
