Members Voltan Posted March 14, 2017 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2017 one of my best high school friends, musical band mates for many years, is retiring from high school and middle school band directing next year... he started a program in north carolina where inner city or at risk children were enrolled in a steel drum ensemble. theyve had continuing success ever since and have turned out some amazing musicians. he keeps telling me his steel drums... my hand pans... and he'll need a place to park his motorhome until he finds a landing pad for it.

Members pogo97 Posted March 14, 2017 Members Share Posted March 14, 2017 I LOVE youth-oriented steel bands. There's one in Brockville, the next city downstream of here, and they play at festivals etc. I think the local Lions underwrite them. The kids are having a great time and they're learning so, so much in the process. Like, taking direction from someone who looks and speaks different from them. These vanilla eastern Ontario kids absolutely nail the rhythms of steel drum -- especially in the middle song of this medley.
