Charlestown-Nevis—A brief but significant ceremony, was held at the Bath Hotel, on Thursday 14th December.
The ceremony which was ably chaired by Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Mr. Kevin Barrett, effectively brought to its conclusion, the first phase of a UNESCO sponsored community steel pan project, which commenced in the month of February.
Preliminary items involved prayer by Mr. Barrett and the national anthem, appropriately played on pan, by Miss Shevonne Maynard.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Barrett pointed out that the workshop was the brain child of Premier Vance Amory, who has a vision of having the art of steel pan playing, become an integral part of the all of the various communities throughout the island, with each community eventually boasting of at least one steel band.
