Pantonic Steel Orchestra Celebrates 2004 Band Launch at new "Home"

The "Pan Diamond" is still in its "rough cut" stages.  As people took up positions in anticipation of an evening of pan music, the unmistakable signs of ongoing construction in the form of a wooden framework loomed in the background; it was all that was completed, in what will finally sparkle as the "final cut" of Pantonic's Steel Orchestra's 2004 rehearsal space/pan yard.  This of course in no way diminished the massive space immediately in front of that area which was the stage for Pantonic's 2004 band launch activities.
