Grafton High School music students were treated to a performance by the Glenville State University Brass and Percussion Ensembles and the High Street Brass Band. Some of the band students and Mr. Rucker were able to play on a Jewel Marimba, one of only 13 that exist in the entire world!
GHS Band Alumn Jonah Rucker is a member of the ensemble and treated the group to a performance on the flugelhorn accompanied by the GSU Brass Ensemble!
Thank you Mr. Lloyd Bone for bringing the groups up today!
