Of all the musical instruments in the world none is as unique as the instrument made from a 55-gallon drum, the Steel "Pan." Born from the people of Trinidad and Tobago in the late 1930's, the sound of steel drums has delighted many ever since. For years the distinct sound of pan and Caribbean music have been woven into the fabric of tropical destinations. Caribbean Sound presents a show-stopping entertainment experience that will capture your attention and your imagination. The variety of performances from Caribbean Sound includes educational programs, orchestral programs, concert series, festivals, and other events throughout the year. Centered around steel drums, the stage show entitled "An American Carnival" mixes the sound and culture of the Caribbean through Calypso, Soca, and Latin music with Classical, American pop, and original compositions performed as a solo group or with an orchestra as part of a Pops, Family, or YPC series.
