I am honored to have this platform to highlight the legacy of an organization that has been in existence for 27 years in the DMV area and has used the #Steelpan as its primary educational musical instrument all this time.
As a reminder of how we frame things, categorically speaking - the “thought” of the steelband being considered in the National Core Arts Standards for ensembles and music education is actually the emergent idea, not the ensemble itself. As a matter of fact, on a global scale, PanTrinbago is celebrating 60 years of Panorama this year, which means Steelpan itself is approaching 100 years from the first iteration of creation! Couldn’t be prouder to showcase our youth and the national instrument of Trinidad & Tobago in my new arts admin/music ed part of life.
