Wilmot Elementary students show off their skills with help of Home Depot buckets

The rat-a-tat-tat of drums resounded in Evergreen’s Home Depot on Friday morning as Wilmot Elementary second- and third-graders showed off their new skills on bucket drums.

They weren’t just any bucket drums, but buckets donated by Home Depot to music teacher Abigail Lantz. Thirty buckets were used by the Wilmot students and another 30 by Lantz’s students at Bergen Meadow.
