The

Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) in Nashville. They
were one of only four music ensembles invited to the event.
 In
addition, the Binghamton steel drum band performed for the Bands of
America National Percussion Festival in Indianapolis in February of this
year, and then after that for the Music Educators National Conference (MENC)
in Minneapolis in April.
The band has also been invited to perform a
