"In 2008, Guyana got the opportunity to host Carifesta. This event led the government to resuscitate the art form through the mass procurement of instruments and the formation of a 100-piece National Steel Orchestra for Carifesta X. It also led to the Joint Services procuring and establishing 100 strong bands. After this event, former and current players were renewed with great interest in the steel pan. Also, many persons that attended the Carifesta became interested."
