Performing a wide range of music from traditional island tunes to American pop music, Perry Hall High School Pan Groove tours Baltimore County communities with performances at elementary schools, benefits, grand openings, and private parties. The ensemble is under the direction of Mr. Scott Engel who is a band director at Perry Hall High School as well as a professional pan player in the group “Charm City Steel.”
