South Carolina, USA - Unless you are watching Jack Black in School of Rock you might find it unique to see a teacher performing music for and alongside his students. That is one of the things Dubose Middle School students get with Mike Greer.
....In the fall of 2005 he was hired by Joseph Pye to become the new band director at Dubose Middle School. Due to the growing number of steel drum classes, he only held the position for a semester before becoming the steel drum director in Jan. 2006.

“We have six steel band classes and 65 kids in the program,” said Greer. “We have great support by the district and are up to 39 instruments.”
