O.A.R. released their sixth studio album All Sides in the summer of 2008 helping to propel the band’s cumulative album sales to well over 1.7 million. Containing the certified Platinum hit single “Shattered,” All Sides is the band’s most successful debut to date. O.A.R. is currently working on their forthcoming seventh studio album. Additional information can be found at http://www.ofarevolution.com/.
Zac Brown Band were recently named GRAMMY's "Best New Artist" and are nominated for four Academy of Country Music Awards including "Entertainer of the Year." The band's platinum-certified, major label debut The Foundation - one of Billboard's Top 20 albums of 2009 - is out now (Atlantic Records) and features the band's first three No.1 hit singles and a fourth single "Highway 20 Ride," which is rapidly climbing the charts. Currently on the road with their "Breaking Southern Ground" national tour on the West Coast, this summer Zac Brown Band will also join the Dave Matthews Band to perform at select shows across the U.S. including New York's Citi Field. Additional information can be found at http://www.zacbrownband.com/.
Collective Soul
Hailing from the city of Atlanta, Georgia, Collective Soul shot to international fame with their release Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid, and their mega #1 hit “Shine”, the album went on to achieve Double-Platinum status. The self-titled Collective Soul, would be the album that would help define their sound of catchy melodies and guitar driven songs. Containing four outstanding singles (three of which reached #1), “December,” “The World I Know,” “Where The River Flows,” and “Gel,” it became Collective Soul's highest selling album. The album went Triple-Platinum and spent 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 charts. Collective Soul has reached the coveted #1 position with 7 singles. The band is currently touring in support of their 8th studio album. www.collectivesoul.com
Jason Michael Carroll
The accomplishments are impressive enough for any new artist – a chart-topping debut album nearing a half-million in sales, three hit singles from that album (all of which he wrote or co-wrote), a Gold ringtone certification, and opening spots on some of country’s hottest tours. The key to Jason Michael Carroll’s success is evident in every note he sings – live or in the studio – and it lies in his authenticity. Whether it’s the empathy brought to bear on the tragedy of “Alyssa Lies,” the pure passion of “Livin’ Our Love Song” or the youthful exuberance of “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead,” Carroll knows how to connect with fans, and together with hard work, undeniable talent, and good looks, that connection has launched one of country’s most impressive young careers. www.jasonmichaelcarroll.com

The All-American Freefall Team is a parachute demonstration team formed over 25 years ago to represent the famed 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C., and has members from many units within the Division. The Team has performed over 6,000 freefall demonstrations.
The Freefall Team has proudly represented the 82nd Airborne Division across the United States at military ceremonies activities, air shows, fairs, competitions, civic functions as well as professional and collegiate sports events. The Freefall Team does much of its training at Raeford Parachute Center, located at Paul Keith Airport, about 20 miles South of Fayetteville.
The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) Command Parachute Demonstration Team, the "Screaming Eagles" is a full time aerial demonstration unit in the Army. Headquartered at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the soldiers who make up the Screaming Eagles come from diverse backgrounds and hold various military occupational skills.
The team can trace its history as far back as the late 1950's, during the infancy of precision freefall itself. The original team members were a group of soldiers who volunteered their personal time to practice and perform quality parachute demonstrations. Noticing the success, the command group opted to form a full time team in 1984.
The team's mission is to perform live aerial demonstrations in support of Army community relations and to promote the Army through the sport of skydiving, while representing the 101st Airborne Division and it's proud and unyielding airborne tradition.
Don't miss the spectacular flyover of Air Combat Command's Heritage Flight in a three-aircraft formation of modern day fighters and a vintage warbird. This particular formation will consist of a P-51 Mustang from the World War II era, flown by one of Air Combat Command's civilian Heritage Flight Pilots from St. Augustine, FL in the lead. An F-16 Fighting Falcon, a modern-day USAF fighter from Shaw Air Force Base, SC, will be on one wing of the P-51, and the F-22 Raptor, the USAF's newest and most advanced stealth fighter from Langley Air Force Base, VA, will be on the other wing.
