The Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band’s repertoire of music ranges from classical to rock, all performed on oil drums! This fact has astounded audi ences, not only for this reason, but also because of the unbe lievable fidelity of the drums, and the great technical artis try of the performers - whe ther they are performing popu lar, classical, or their native calypso music. The calypso numbers are, of course, in a class by themselves, combined with exciting dancing and chant ing as only the natives from Trinidad can do. At times the consort of drums sounds ex actly like a symphony orches tra, imitating very precisely the sounds of strings and wood winds. Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band performed on «The Ed Sullivan Show’ last April with Liber- ace, and has accompanied Diane Warwick, Liberace, and Donald O’Connor on their concert tours. They have performed twice for Queen Elizabeth. In 1967, they toured the East coast and played for six weeks in Montreal at Expo. As “Entertainment World’ phrased it, “The TrinidadTri- poli Steel Band is the most exciting attraction in the world today.’ Don’t miss this event on Thursday, September 24th. The Greenville Symphony Orchestra has been scheduled for Monday evening, February 15th. They will perform Bee thoven’s Ninth Symphony, or Choral Symphony, the great masterwork by this musical genius. This may be the first performance in Clinton.
