The Caribbean Steel Drum band performed on the Peace Quad, featuring musical talent and a welcoming atmosphere that drew a lively crowd.
The band, comprised of student and faculty musicians, was formed to share Caribbean musical culture with Binghamton University.
“When anybody ever hears the steel drum, they’re immediately transported to the Caribbean,”
said Joel Smales, an adjunct lecturer in percussion and teacher of the steel drum band.
Students gathered to enjoy the entertainment and upbeat sound of steel drums under the autumn trees of the quad.
