No, you’re not basking in the sun on a Caribbean Island, you’re at the Parkville High School gymnasium and it’s a celebration of steel drum music.
Seven area Baltimore County Public School steel drum bands performed at the annual Panorama Wednesday Night.
“The kids love it, we just have a blast playing. We can do so many different styles,” says Chris Gnagey, Director of the Parkville High School Steel Drum Band.
Calypsos, socas, classical, and rock. You could even hear the sounds of Bob Marley.
I love just having people experience the music and feeling what steel drum band is like, says Ashley Walzier, a member of the Parkville band.
This was the 10th year for Panorama.
