Village Band
It wouldn't be Carrboro Day without the Village Band's opening program
- familiar Sousa and concert marches, show tunes, and contemporary arrangements
played magnificently time after time. The Village Band was organized in
1974 as a place where the parents of his students could play their instruments.
No auditions are required and
everyone with an interest in music are welcome. Currently under the baton
of Dr. John Fuller, the band plays 7-9 concerts a year, performing a broad
repertoire -Sousa and concert marches, show tunes, classical transcriptions,
traditional band music, and contemporary compositions.

Cool John Ferguson
"The hottest music from the coolest hand in the biz… Cool John Ferguson
plays rhythm and blues, rock, and jazz guitar like he's running out of
time and he just needs to squeeze off the last few notes." Cool John gets
raves for a reason.

people who enjoy gardening, Today our group has approximately thirty members,
who meet monthly at members' homes to visit our gardens, exchange seeds
and plants and enjoy friendship.
Plant Exchange: Bring healthy, indoor or outdoor plants to trade with
members of the club. Please label your plants with the plant name and
