FAIRMONT — History and technology have combined to get some Fairmont Senior High School students to the cradle of our nation’s history this summer.
The FSHS Steel Drum Band has been invited to perform in Philadelphia for that city’s annual Independence Day parade.
Shawn Dunn, FSHS band director, said the invitation came as a surprise.
The producer for the annual Independence Day festivities in Philadelphia was surfing the Internet for ideas when he came across a video of the FSHS Steel Drum Band on the popular video-sharing site youtube.com.
