Seven young men in a steel drum band practice hard and make it to Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater. The text lacks focus when discussing each person's background, though it does give a personal spin to the contest, as do photos of the performers in action. Sidebars include interesting Apollo history. A CD of the group is included.
