Steel Pan


Kenny Phoenix on the drums
One of the highlights of my week is steel pan. Every Saturday from 3:00-4:30, Genesis Pan practices in the balcony of the church. We practice 2 songs a month to play for church. Some of the members show up late. (One member who will not be named often arrives nearly an hour late each Saturday, yesterday arriving at 4:15!) Yet, we always enjoy one another's company as we prepare our music for church.

There are several different kinds of pans: lead, double tenor, guitar, double second, cello, 4-bass, and 6-bass. I have played guitar, lead, cello, and 4-bass. This month I am learning how to play the double tenor. I have so much fun! The members of the group vary in skill and ability, but all share a love for the Savior and desire to serve him with music
