Entertainment

Pantheon Steel Drum Band
Thursday, February 28: Opening Reception Honoring Exhibitors: 5:30 - 7:00 PM.

Pantheon formed in 2004 when its members took on the challenge of playing in a steel drum ensemble with only one person per part. Since then, they have performed throughout Alaska, earning repeat performances and rave reviews. Their busy schedule of engagements has helped to finance the purchase of instruments, music, and equipment, and the band's continuing education through working with masters of the instrument. In addition to solo performances, Pantheon has also performed with Andy Narell, Jeff Narell, Valerie Naranjo, Chris Tanner, Tom Miller, Dom Moio, and John Harbaugh in concert. The members of Pantheon are committed to improving the quality of their pan musicianship, and annually attend Ellie Mannette's Festival of Steel in Morgantown, West Virginia, where their members have performed featured solos in the advanced band's showcase concert, and with the faculty in concert.
