The House of Champions
- CASYM, Sonatas, Despers USA, Pantonic
New York, USA - The New York middle leg or ‘day two’ of the “great weekend of pan” was matched, held and sustained at the Pantonic launch. Ironically or coincidentally, while it was not originally planned that way - this launch could easily have been named the “launch of champions.” All four of this event’s participants are past New York panorama champions. Moreover, among active bands, these distinguished steelband music franchises cover every single panorama win to date except one....
In spite of the late start, steelpan fans were treated to a classic show. Anytime you bring the likes of CASYM, Sonatas, Despers USA and Pantonic together, one is in for a memorable musical experience. These four organizations represent the big guns of North American pan.

It is nice to see that the younger generation is committed to seeing the culture of the Steelpan continue on for generations to come. The exposure can do nothing but good. make your presence felt in the technology ages. Congratulations and hoping to enjoy some sweet pan for the Labor Day celebration!
This sounds great! Does anybody know of steelbands like this in the US outside of New York. I only hear about steelbands in New York. Anything around Chicago?
