The popular Pan Masters Steel Orchestra thrills audiences with exotic island instruments, great music and dancing on the green. Their eclectic repertoire ranges from traditional island calypso, reggae and soca to the band's interpretations of Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, J.S. Bach and more.
Originally from the Islands of Trinidad and Tobago, the Pan Masters are perennial winners of Baltimore, Washington and New York City steel band competitions, including outstanding performance awards at the DC Caribbean Carnival for ten years running.
The Pan Masters have performed for Bluemont since 1982, and many of the current band members are children of the original Pan Masters. A Bluemont audience favorite, this fantastic performance is not to be missed.
