Jefferson students were treated to the Caribbean music of La Zafra Steel Drum Band during an assembly last week. The assembly was brought to us by the Frida Community Organization. Our own principal, Mr. Gaston, is also a member of the Steel Drum Band and showcased his talents along with the other band members. The performance featured salsa, merengue, cumbia, Latin jazz, and more. Students and staff had the opportunity to join in and not only learn the dances, but also how to play the various steel drums. The program was engaging and fun, and included a spontaneous conga line. Thank you FCO for an amazing experience.
If students are interested in learning how to play the steel drums, join the FCO after school program at Jefferson Middle School and start drumming.
