David Gaskin from Trinidad leads this talented trio as they sing and play island songs on their steel drums. The Trio has studied Trinidadian culture and weaves this throughout their exciting program.
“This was my second time having the pleasure of having your show at our school. You do an excellent job of teaching, involving the students and having fun! We will be following up to your performance by making our won musical instruments! Keep up the good work.”
