An incredible and FREE experience in world music! Participants will explore and learn the steel drum (pan) instrument, meet new people, and prepare for a performance with professional steel bands and world-renowned pannist Dr. Josanne Francis!
Rehearsals will be held Monday, August 4th, through Friday, August 8th at Anwatin Middle School in Minneapolis, MN. Participants will be split into three age groups:

On Saturday, August 9th, all groups will meet at Anwatin Middle School for a Day of Pan where participants can enjoy dinner, a free t-shirt, and a special performance from Dr. Josanne Francis. The day culminates in a concert featuring each of the three camp groups performing the pieces they learned throughout the week alongside Dr. Francis and the Tin Cups and Pan-handlers Steel Drum Bands.
