Ohio, USA - When you hear the strains of a steel drum band, you’re instantly transported to a happier place and relaxed state of being.
....Waters is the director of Ohio Northern University’s Steel Band. Since she started the ensemble 17 years ago, it’s found its groove, spreading its cheery music throughout the region.
....ONU alumnus, Jeff Martin, BM ’13, centered his entire career on pan music after playing in the ONU Steel Band. Martin is now in his 10th year as the steel band director at Clark Montessori High School in Cincinnati Public Schools, teaching pan performance to students in grades 7 through 12.
“Only a handful of school districts in the country have a steel band program like the one at Clark,” he says, “so I count myself very lucky to be able to do this full time.”
