Students concentrate on learning the bow harp, a new addtion to this year’s Academy.
Sr. Stella Sabina demonstrates some fancy footwork from her native Uganda.
Dr. Makubuya from Wabash College instructs students on how to play traditional Ugandan drums. Even students in percussion sections of the school band learned a few things!
