A big band performance in a railroad station!?
Well, sort of. Carleton Junction is a beautiful park in the middle of Carleton Place that is adjacent to the Ottawa Valley Rail Trail, a multi-purpose year-round use recreational trail converted from a former CPR train track. So when the town of Carleton Place built a structure there to provide a performance stage, they made it look like an old railroad station.
SRO will be performing on the Carleton Junction Stage on June 17 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. We’ll be playing a few train-themed numbers from our repertoire, such as Chattanooga Choo Choo and Sentimental Journey, but the performance will include our normal wide variety of big band tunes. And of course, SRO’s talented vocalist Saffron Bradbury will there with us. This concert is presented by the Town of Carleton Place.
Bring your own folding chairs or picnic blankets, since the audience will be on the grass in front of the stage. There will be snack and beverage vendors on-site, and the stage has washroom facilities.
And the really good news – There’s no attendance fee!!
