An evening of happy, beat-driven music will fill Presser Hall at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 28. Five percussion groups will perform, including the ONU Percussion Ensemble, Steel Drum Band, African Dance and Drumming Ensemble, the newly-formed Samba Band and an Ada favorite, the Wild Steelions.

The Wild Steelions, made up of area junior and senior high students, will perform a variety of steel drum tunes as well as holiday tunes. Think Caribbean Islands.

The Samba Band (think Brazilian music) will perform a high-energy tune called "Summer Samba."
