Lake City Secondary School (LCSS) touring band students played a concert in the first Hellenic Parliament in Greece on March 17.
But performing in something as historic as one of the building blocks of free and democratic societies, built in 1730, and home of the first Hellenic Parliament from fall of 1825 to spring of 1826, did not intimidate the young musicians.
The young players still apparently "killed it" in the ancient building in Nafplio, Greece, according to parent Whitney Spearing, whose son Liam Spearing is on the tour.
The band students and their chaperones are in the coastal city March 17, and will board a ferry on March 18 to head to Italy. They will be going from Port of Patras in Greece to Port of Bari on the Adriatic Sea in southeast Italy, then on to the historic Pompeii, where an entire city was frozen in time when it was covered in ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvious in 79 AD.
Spearing, who is also an archaeologist, is taking some time off work to tag along on the tour with her son, enjoying the combination of concerts and historical attractions.
