The Cary Town Band (Cary, NC) is reminiscent of the turn of the 20th century bands led by Sousa, Goldman, and others who popularized band concerts all over America. Presenting concerts recreating that bygone era, the band plays marches from many nations, circus music, waltzes, rags, polkas, famous overtures, and other “pops” classical music of the 1860’s to 1920’s with an occasional nod to more modern fare.

Picture this band (as above) or in classic period uniforms at events sponsored by your organization. Providing indoor and outdoor concerts for patriotic events, ceremonies, and civic events, the band is available for performances.

The Cary Town Band rehearses on Thursday evenings. If you would like to be a part of a "town band" experience, or to add such an experience to your event, or just for more information, please contact director Stuart Holoman.

Huzzah! The Old North State

Friday, February 24, 2012 7:30 PM
Cary Arts Center - Theater, Downtown
Cary, NC

Did you know that North Carolina has a state song? It does - and it's a featured work in this concert by the band. Join us as we musically honor our state - its song, its composers, its locales, the activities of its residents, and many more aspects of life in The Old North State. Hear songs written specifically about her like Carolina Moon. Think of our young women at cotillions with Leroy Anderson's Belle of the Ball. Do you eat watermelon? There's music for that, too. Come enjoy all the interesting ways we've discovered to musically celebrate our state. If you like being in North Carolina, you shouldn't miss this one. Huzzah!
