Pennsylvania, USA - Several Hanover middle and high school students showed off their musical talent at the first Hanover Steel drum concert held Sunday afternoon.
The students performed alongside steel drum instructor and musician Eric Fountain, of Mannette Steel, who travels to the area at least once a year to teach his steel drum program to Hanover students. The music, mostly African, is about celebration, Fountain said.
"Get up and dance," Fountain told the audience at Hanover Middle School on Sunday. "Enjoy yourself. I would say we have food, but we don't," he added with a laugh.
