By TRACEY TONG

Staff Writer

Canada - If you're between the ages of 11 and 17, have the ability to read music and are looking for a rare opportunity to learn an obscure instrument, make new friends and travel, the Brockville Lions Steel Band may be for you.

The only youth band of its kind in eastern Ontario, the Brockville-based band is working to rebuild and increase its membership in time for its 10th anniversary in 2006.

The all-steel drum band, which derives its members from Brockville-area schools, is an organization of the Brockville Lions Club. The group currently has 16 members, a mix of boys and girls.

"We'd like to make the community aware that we're a youth organization," said Brockville Lions Steel Band managing director Paul Hallyburton, who has been with the group since its inception.

The band will hold an open house event at the Westminster Public School gymnasium on Wednesday, October 26 at 7 p.m. The band will give a presentation and perform.

The only prerequisite for membership is age and the ability to read music, Hallyburton said. There is no cost to join the band, but members are required to pay for half of the cost of their jackets. Uniforms are provided.

The John Marshall Urban Steel Band was formed six years ago. It is made up of nine students from eighth to tenth grades.

Urban Steel is one of the programs of the Partners of Americas. The band teams up with musicians from Antigua. Urban Steel visited there last April, and the Antiguan musicians will come here this spring. The band held its second annual spaghetti dinner Friday night to help pay for the cost of the trip.

OHS steel drummers are no flash in the pan

By AMY HUFFORD/Staff writer

West Salem, WI - When Onalaska High School's Steel Pan Project took the stage at Oktoberfest's Heritage Night Oct. 5, the room was momentarily transformed into a cool Caribbean island.

It all started with Jim Knutson, band director at OHS and a true percussionist at heart who had always wanted to begin a steel drum group.

”But there wasn't money for something like that,“ he said. So in 2003, he applied for a grant from the Onalaska Foundation for Educational Excellence and was awarded a few thousand dollars to start up the band.

Three years later, the group is earning community and statewide recognition. They were the opening band for the La Crosse Symphony's Salute to the 4th pops concert last summer in Onalaska, they've been featured in the local news and they will perform Oct. 27 at Monona Terrace in Madison.

Living the life of pan
Steel band co-director labeled ‘legend’ by some

Chicago -
Cliff Alexis, having been at NIU for 19 years and teaching for 31 years, has instructed hundreds of students on the steelpan. He recently received the Outstanding Development of the Steelpan in the U.S.A. Award in June.

Labeled a "legend" by some steel band enthusiasts, NIU steel band co-director Clifford Alexis has brought a steady stream of lime light to NIU’s musical reputation.

Alexis received the Outstanding Black Musician award twice, and the Outstanding Development of the Steelpan in the U.S.A. award in June. In 2000, Alexis was elected as a "Pan Legend" in Madison Square Garden.

When trees bow their heads
 

Trinidad - A few decades ago writing a newspaper column in praise of a Panorama winning performance by a steelband, I wrote, copying unashamedly from Shakespeare: "North Stars with their pans made the trees and the mountain tops that freeze (sic) bow their heads when they did play."

Those lines nagged my memory bin off and on as I watched Pat Bishop's magnificent pan music version of the Gluck opera, Orpheus and Euridice, at the Queen's Hall two weekends ago.

The Orpheus saga found itself delighting audiences in the middle of the trio that offered us what was almost an embarrassment of cultural riches.

The weekend before it was Derek Walcott's Steel, portraying as its theme, purely by coincidence, the launch of the steelband movement in the slums of Laventille.

 New York 2005 Panorama
From the Inside


Anton Estaniel
Northern Illinois University

Dekalb, Illinois - This August I spent some time observing some of the different steel bands of Brooklyn for the New York Panorama. I was struck at how much dedication the members had towards perfecting their respective music. Dedication is the maxim of Panorama. To me it is the most distinguishing characteristic for steel bands that compete in Panorama.  Rehearsals occur an average of five days a week and often go into the wee hours of the night and early morning. The music is learned by ear so initial rehearsals are dedicated to committing the composition to memory. Once the music is learned the composition is drilled in a seemingly interminable manner. The process of memorizing music and rehearsing can seem lengthy and arduous, yet players come night after night to work. Why is there such a strong commitment to play for this competition? I suspect the reasons go beyond the thrills of performance and competition.

 Politics through Pan a mistake
Tom Petersen

Winston-Salem, North Carolina - In response to a recent article you ran entitled "Panorama 2005 - Behind Enemy Lines" by Augustin Hinkson,  I was deeply troubled to see that "When Steel Talks" would even run such an article. Mr. Hinkson has some personal problems that he feels should be aired on the "stage" of Pan.  It should be noted that the Pan movement is not a New York thing.  Thanks to the help of "When Steel Talks", Pan is spreading throughout the world like wildfire.  I am amazed to see news relating to pan groups from all over the world and the number of people that are getting involved in pan.  Pan is even taking a prominent place in the churches across the world. Mr. Hinkson seems to think first of all that Pan is strictly an "African" movement.   I have never considered Pan as an African art form, but an art form of Trinidad.  There is a difference.

Trinidad - The characters were all dressed in sailor costumes with painted faces, adding a local touch to the Greek mythology.

In Act I Scene II, Orpheus arrived in Hades, and encountered difficulties in persuading the denizens of Hell to let him pass through. But when he played the music for which he is legendary-the steelpan, the gates opened up. The music of steelpan was so powerful that it enchanted the trees, tamed wild beasts and made the ghosts of the underworld shed sympathetic tears.
