When your child is sick, the last thing you need is for the medicine to
taste like medicine. That’s why pharmacies offer FLAVORx. Now you can
have flavoring added right to your child’s prescription or over-the-counter
liquid medicine. While we know medicine isn’t candy, it sometimes helps if
it can taste like bubblegum, or watermelon, or many other flavors your
child can choose from. Rest assured, FLAVORx won’t change the
effectiveness of the medication, just make it taste better.

The Fantastic Waller Family consists of three
brothers and sisters who are highly choreographed, beautifully costumed, high energy
show-stoppers with amazing voices. They are
backed by their own five piece multitalented
band including guitar, drums, trumpet, saxophone, and multi-midi keyboards. They have
been the number one dance band and show
group on the East Coast for the past several
years.
The Band of Oz
Sunday – 12 noon – 4 p.m.,
Greenlight Stage
Wilson, you know them, you love them, you
could dance in the streets all day to their
variety of beach music, shag and oldie-butgoodies. The Band of Oz is one of the most
successful groups in the Southeast, and continues to get the very best reviews from the
top people in the entertainment business. The

dynamic eight-member group.
East Coast Rhythm & Blues
Saturday, 10 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.,
Simply Wonderful Stage
ECRBB is the quintessential component to an
unforgettable festival experience. There are no
“stars” in the group because they are all talented
musicians that put on an unforgettable show.
You won’t be able to help yourself from dancing
along, singing along and smiling along as they
share all your favorite musical memories.
Without Further Ado
Saturday – 10:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.,
Greenlight Stage
This band is descriptive of a no nonsense,
get-right-down-to-it, approach to music. The
band came into being as a result of the pulling
together of talented individuals who shared a
common passion for music that has something
to say....music that requires a certain attention
to detail to get it right. Audiences enjoy a wide
range of expanding repertoire from Crosby,
Stills, & Nash to Conway Twitty, from Big Joe
Turner to the Eagles. Besides their professional musical presentation, their humorous stage
banter puts audiences at ease.
The Band of Oz is one of the most popular performing
bands in the Southeast. They play this year’s festival on
Sunday at noon. Courtesy of The Band of Oz
The IMPACTS
Saturday, 1:30 – 5:00 p.m.,

the greatest hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Their
instruments are old-school — giving those original rock-n-roll sounds we all fell in love with
from the start. You won’t be able to walk away as
their musical performance includes the British
Invasion, American Pop, Motown and, of course,
Carolina Beach.
Sunday Church Bands
Sunday, 12:30 – 4:00 p.m.,
Simply Wonderful Stage
Helping us celebrate on Sunday are three local
church bands bringing a wide variety of musical
style. Kairos Band, from First Baptist Church, will

of God band will then wrap up the day at 3:30 p.m.
