The school where Pan is king

The Trinidad Guardian

Teacher and pan programme director Rosemarie Abraham with members of the St Margaret's Boys' Anglican School Steel Orchestra

Belmont, Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Just last month, 11-year-old Ishmael Williams of St Margaret’s Boys’ Anglican School emerged as the most outstanding student in a pan construction and tuning course offered by Pan Development Unlimited (PDU).

Williams was also one of the youngest participants to take part in the course in its almost 40-year history.

But at St Margaret’s Boys’ on St Margaret’s Lane in Belmont, pan victory is nothing new. The school boasts nine Junior Panorama champion titles including an eight-year winning streak between 2006 and 2013. This year, the school’s under-13 orchestra beat 11 other participating schools with its rendition of Vibes by Destra Garcia and they performed at the Florida Memorial University Youth Steelband Festival in Miami for the fourth time.
