Undaunted, driven and focused, Dominica remains on course to having not only a major resurgence in steelband activities within the island, but also becoming a dominant force in the near future.

PR9.NET November 14, 2006 - Roseau, Dominica - It has been less than six months since Dominica pulled off one of the best steelband events for 2006. Last Spring Dominica served as the host for the 2006 OECS Junior Steelband competition. The competition received rave reviews and attracted participants from six nations within the eastern Caribbean region.

Dominica's steelpan music community is burgeoning. Moreover, Dominica's musical influences, styles and tastes are similar in some respects to other Caribbean nations, but its flavoring is very unique because of its history, impacting greatly on the people's approach to steelband music. This is one of the reasons steelpan music enthusiasts will be frequently visiting Dominica to hear their brand of pan music big time.
