CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – It was a full house for the 38th annual Austin Peay State University Percussion Ensemble Halloween Concert, with close to 500 in attendance for the first show, followed by a second show later in the evening.

The Grinch, played by Professor of Percussion David Steinquest, was the host and director of the evening’s spooky music. The event supported Loaves & Fishes with an admission of two cans of food or $5, which will be donated to the nonprofit organization.
