Lee Hill Marimbas
|

|


|
|
In late October 2011, the students and teachers of Lee Hill Elementary School in Spotsylvania County, Virginia gathered to make two new marimbas for the school music program, led by Daniel Radford, the music teacher, and Brent Holl, consultant. After four days of hard work and fun, an Aussie (3 1/2 octave, tube resonated) and a (2 octave) Bass Marimba were complete and ready to play.
