PUPILS at a Darlington school are dancing to the beat of a new set of drums.
A shipment of instruments from Johannesburg, South Africa, arrived this week at Haughton Community School, in time for year seven youngsters to begin a course on African music.
The school's head of music, Alex Jackson, and Steve McGarvie, of Durham Music Service, bought the drums while on a visit to South Africa last summer to purchase suitable instruments.
They were delivered to the school via a shipment to Cummins Engine Company, which has business links to the school. It is hoped the drums can be used in workshops in the community.
