Philipsburg:---First Caribbean International Bank lends its support to the 2nd annual "Music In Me" organize by the Foundation For Hope & Music Development to be held on Sunday March 8th, 2009 at the Maho Convention Centre. This year's concert will showcase and expose children who have musical talents in various instruments such as piano, saxophone, guitar, flute and trumpet, and others who are gifted in dancing or singing. The Music event, "Don Froston in Concert", first started in November 2007 to assist Mr. Froston in establishing a music academy on the island.According to Froston, He could remember making his own instrument with a bottle and paper, because he wanted so bad to play in the band. He mentioned that he wanted to join John Larmony music school, which was a popular music institution in the 1970's on the backstreet, but he was too young to at time. "Man I would blow makes home horn on the side of the street next to the big boys when the band uses to march on the Front Street".
Derek Downes, First Caribbean Country Head, explained how he learned to play the bass by numbers "had my music teacher made the music lessons while in school more interesting, I too would have been much more musically oriented" Downes said. "That's why we believe it's important to support Don with his efforts to develop the musical talents of children on St. Maarten."
Froston thanked the bank for their contribution to the foundation.
