1:00pm 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.

2:00pm Triangle Jazz Band
The Triangle Jazz Orchestra performs great music of jazz masters of the Swing Era (Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Bennie Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington…) in the traditional big band format with full horn and rhythm sections.

3:00pm Club Boheme
Grace the stage with a unique brand of retro string jazz perfect for the Paris of the Piedmont - sassy, steamy, and Club Boheme graces the stage with a unique brand of retro string jazz perfect for the Paris of the Piedmont - sassy, steamy, and tasty!

4:00pm 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.

Plant Exchange: Bring healthy, indoor or outdoor plants to trade with members of the club.
