O Steel

Some Carribean flava' wafted through Lamont Plaza in March as the kids from Oberlin Steel played their steel-drummed hearts out. Here's the tail end of their performance above. This 20-member band was AMAZING. The fact that this many Oberlin students were so near my house was of course, disconcerting, but nothing seemed to be missing afterwards. ;) The Obies were on their Spring Break and traveled to DC to play in a formal concert with DC's own Pan Masters Steel Orchestra.

Here's Todd and Loretta cavorting with two members of the group.

Our friend Chris juggled.

And Loretta tried to figure out what the heck these Ohio hippies were doing in our neighborhood.

Here s'more about Oberlin Steel in DC. Some of these shots (where the kids are being interviewed mostly) were shot in Mt. P.
