The Strike Percussion Ensemble in rehearsal

We attend a rehearsal of the Strike Percussion Ensemble of Caledonia. In addition to their performance this weekend, we’ll learn why the group is heading to New Orleans the day after the concert.

Just south of Grand Rapids, there’s a group of young people making very interesting music. There, in the Caledonia School district, you’re apt to hear the Strike Percussion Ensemble.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley recently visited the Strike ensemble while they were rehearsing just ahead of a very busy weekend.
