Cornell Steel Band

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

The role of the steel band within Trinidadian history and culture is also foregrounded through readings and discussions. The group includes the standard steel pan orchestra, as well as an "engine room" consisting of drumset, congas, irons (brake drums), and other percussion instruments. Prior musical experience is necessary, though not limited to percussion, and participants must audition.
