The Saline "Fiddlers" is a group of Saline High School musicians who have performed throughout the U.S., including concerts at the White House. They have also performed internationally, most notably two concerts in Brecon. They are the pride of the community and year after year new Saline students fill their ranks with more excellent musicians |
|
|
In addition to her considerable musical talent one of the Fiddlers, Stephanie Birko, was selected as "Miss Saline" for 2001. |
|
|
|
The Fiddlers also perform "clogging", an American folk dance adaptation of step-dancing. Are those future Fiddlers in the front row? |
|
Mayor Arthur Bowley thanked the Fiddlers for their show and led the audience in a "Hip, Hip, Hooray!" |
|
|
|
The Fiddlers are conducted by Saline High School teacher Bob Phillips and are "managed" by his wife, Pam Phillips. Mayor Bowley presented special Millennium Medallions to Mr. and Mrs. Phillips. |
