Rockcreek Steel Drums participates in the expansion of the Steel Pan Art form of Trinidad and Tobago with three different Steel Pan Programs for Schools and community groups.
We have a one visit large group workshop/interactive assembly where up to 100 students per workshop learn to play the steel pan.
We offer a 3-5 Day Artist In Residence Program where students learn to play steel pan and finish with a concert at the end of the week where each participating class performs a different song in a group concert.
This year we launched our third program called Steel Drums In The Classroom where elementary schools can run a one to four week steel pan program at their school using rockcreek’s instruments, equip and training.
Over the past 27 years we have built thousands of instruments and shipped them to over 30 countries. We’ve taught over 171,000 students in over 400 schools, libraries and community groups to perform in the Rockcreek Steel Band. We have also given thousands of performances.
We would love to bring one of our programs to your school or community group. Based out of the Annapolis, MD area we bring our programs to every county in Maryland all year and to Northern VA, Eastern PA, Delaware and DC seasonally and we do one week tours and residencies Nationally..
