Here's your opportunity to see Andy Narell, world-famous steel pan composer/performer, right here in Catonsville! Andy, who currently resides in France, will perform with the CHS Steel Band on Thursday, April 17th, in the high school auditorium at 7:30 pm. Tickets will be available at the door. If your ony experience with our talented steel drum band has been the 4th of July parade, you won't believe the range and talent of these musicians. Trivia: did you know the steel pan is the only acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century? All other acoustic instruments were invented much earlier. So hope to see you at the concert!
