The Westover High School Marching Band percussion section was given the honor of opening the N.C. Museum of History’s 11^th Annual African American Cultural Celebration on January 28 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The festival featured more than 75 presenters—well known musicians, award-winning authors, storytellers, dancers, playwrights, re-enactors and others who highlighted the contributions of African-Americans to North Carolina. Around 10,000 people attended the event and were able to witness the percussion section’s magnificent ability!
