New York, USA - It is a Friday evening in early December in the Kensington part of Brooklyn - actually the center of Brooklyn, and the steelpan is again about to take front and center at the beautiful Calvary Cathedral of Praise. This show is billed as ‘Total Praise’ - Steel Orchestra and Choral Concert featuring Calvary Steel Orchestra, CrossFire Steel Orchestra and Women In Steel.
....The Calvary Cathedral of Praise (CCOPNY) has had a long association with the steelpan instrument. Indeed, its own Calvary Cathedral of Praise Steel Orchestra aka Calvary Steelband has been on the scene since 1972. With a repertoire of traditional hymns and contemporary gospel performed in various styles, including calypso, soca, R&B and more, audiences in the wider USA, and as far a field as the United Kingdom and Africa - have been ministered to by the steel orchestra.

I appreciate the thanks but I an arranger is useless without his musicians so I have to take the time to thank Crossfire and Calvary Steel for their time and effort.
Great job by everyone involved, I heard some real nice pan music by all the bands...I hope they will continue to work together in the future. Khuent did a great job as did the other arrangers.
Now...
WST entered the building, setup their equipment and threw down the gauntlet...I tell you the truth boy, they have no rival when it comes to sound reinforcement for steel bands...great job as usual.
