Antigua's National Youth Pan Orchestra Triumphs

Antigua & Barbuda, W.I. - The twin-island countryâ??s National Youth Pan Orchestra, fielding the youngest group of musicians in Moods of Panâ??s 2008 25-A-Side competition, stunned and trounced their more seasoned and sometimes older peers in the five other orchestras. Though some of the young winners also did double duty with the other orchestras (they were part of the youth arms of those more established bands in the country), it was the incarnation featuring them as the best of the twin-islandâ??s youthful steelpan musicians, that pulled it off for what was the inaugural contest of its kind in the tenth annual Moods of Pan festival, proudly organized by Gemonites Steel Orchestra, who also took part in the competition. go to http://www.panonthenet.com/news/mop2008/mop_youth_pan_25-a-side.htm for full story
