Michigan, USA - “I think I’ve been doing steel band at best guess 22-23 years. This is huge for me because I can say that I did this from scratch,” says Kilbourn.
Seth Kilbourn is the instrumental music teacher and band director at Roscommon High School.
He started the Steel Drum Syndicate made up of different band students.
“Once everyone’s out here and ready to roll, there’s going to be about 44 kids between steel drums, drums and guitars, and then the horn players.”
....Kilbourn explains, “I don’t want to say almost exclusively rock, but it’s pretty close. Right now we’re doing music by Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Dewey Brothers, Phil Collins, it’s just this wide gamina of different selection.”
....“We were just at the St. Louis Festival of Steel. We’re headed to Cleveland to perform at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
