Wow...thats interesting.
Does anybodys church have a steel drum band ministry? We started ours two years ago, They play once a month during our youth service and have traveled throughout NYC and LI playing for audiances as large as 2000. the band members range from age 7 to 60 and they dilligently practice more than 4 hrs a week.You guys are on to something there.

That sounds really good. Very creative concept.
Just make sure that no one in the congregation brings out a cooler full of Coronas, then breaks out a blender and starts mixing up magaritas and mai-tais with little umbrellas in them out in the lobby. Then you'll have "Deacon Jackson" walking around with his shirt off trying to dance, and "Mother Davis" sporting a one-piece with that little white hat on.
It's a NY thang... y'all wouldn't know nuthin about that there... LOL :D :D :D
Seriously though, steel drum bands much more common in NY (particularly in/around train and subway stations... lol) than in other states, but I've never seen one affiliated with a church. Cool stuff, U13.

Being in NY, I get the pleasure of hearing a steel band every now and again and thoroughly enjoy the experience! I, no longer go to the West Indian Day parades in Bklyn, so when I, get to hear one ''live'', it's a real treat!
Let me know when and where you're playing, hopefully i'll have the opportunity to come and listen. ;D
I will try to remember to let you know. I think they still play every 4th sunday at 10 am in Roosevelt. I dont play with them so I dont know what their itinerary looks like.
