Roseau, Dominica  - On November 1, 2006 the annual Pan by The Bay steelband music festival took place in the Caribbean nation of Dominica.  The event, traditionally held in Roseau, Dominica's capital, showcases the island's steelbands.  This year eight groups from Dominica's rebounding steelband movement performed to a large and enthusiastic crowd under the full moonlit sky.  The festival was organized by the Dominica National Steel Pan Association in collaboration with the National Cultural Council & the Division of Culture.  The impressive turnout was made up primarily of local fans and many tourists who had traveled to the island.

The successful program and large turnout again demonstrated Dominica's commitment to the instrument, and the integral role the country has played and will continue to play in the steelpan music movement, globally and within the Caribbean region.
