The Cary Town Band 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.
The Cary Town Band’s public concerts are FREE to attend.
