St. Martin High Indoor Percussion Group puts on finale show

With the wide-ranging cancellations now reaching school districts and activities in South Mississippi, one school group took the time this weekend to highlight what really matters in life.

The St. Martin High Indoor Percussion Group put together a last minute finale show for friends and family on Saturday after concerns over the Coronavirus canceled their upcoming World Championship Competition in Ohio as well as a weekend competition in Gulfport.

Their performance revolved around the story of World War II Veteran Don Kunkel and the themes of faith, family, and friends, themes that Director John Dunlap says are important at this time. “The bond and the relationship that you have with people that are around you, that are special and important, you know, it’s not going to be broken, these kids, what they’ve got here right now, that bond will never be broken.”

This is the second year of the Indoor Percussion program at St. Martin. The finale gave seniors one last time to perform with their group.
