I hope these young people are able to grow their talent in music for as long as they stay on the planet. Amen.

[@patrickenoe144]

I always feel proud when I see other pan players from other parts of the wprld knowing it was invented by us

[@merryprankstermatt]

This song always makes me cry

[@trinisoca4310]

Big up the students for learning how to play the steel pan 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@willm.696]

Steel drums have a hard time fully rendering the beauty of a composition written for Bagpipes. This group does a good job of getting close though!

[@annmariegoddard6060]

Will M if you think that is the case just type in Despers Amazing Grace on KZbin.In case you're wondering they are from TRINIDAD and TOBAGO.

[@nissebrannvall6253]

Mi too...Please crowd shut up...

[@paulettesims7045]

Great job kids, I’m from Trinidad and Tobago and can’t even play our Steelpans instrument... well done!

Que bendición este himno con la banda del steel pan. 🤗 desde Venezuela.

[@stephanykeita-dequeiroz1056]

While the music is absolutely beautiful, it would be GREAT if at every performance the "audience" was reminded of proper etiquette! How rude of the audience to continue their conversation while this group is performing for your entertainment. You would think that as adults, this would be common knowledge since you hear conversation throughout the musical piece. I know how frustrating it is being both a musician as well as the parent of a musician.

As a previous band member it bring back great memories we had 180 in our band. Your band did an excellent job. The other people need to be quiet

[@armyoldsweat]

Thanks guys & gals from an ageing old soldier in England. I honestly enjoyed not only the music but you all playing the pans as a group. Great stuff, keep it up! Wished I was young enough to be with you.

[@bartbrush5574]

Great playing--thank you! Unfortunately, as a public school music teacher, I can say from first hand experience how perplexing and frustrating it is to be playing out in the community with hard-working, accomplished students, and then be applauded and congratulated by people in the audience.....who can't stop talking and aren't able to be quiet and respectful!

[@clairecoykendall9443]

I agree.

[@clairecoykendall9443]

That was a cool "Amazing Grace".

[@Infochique]

Wow! The background noises was most distracting.

[@EmilyA1984]

Yeah, really. When I was in high school, our band teachers drilled "audience etiquette" into us from day one. I wish they'd go and do their spiel at this school.

[@ilvahertzler6571]

Why is there such great disinterest amont the spectators... talking, etc...

[@xadensimmons3216]

I play steel pan and i am only six years old and i am having concert for it for my school

[@guardjudy]

These are known as the "chattering class", always talking but never say anything sensible. A compleste waste of time.

[@carlstokes1317]

just a wonderful display of music, keep up the great work.

[@tom32071]

I don't quite understand how people could just walk by while they were playing.

[@gemmaspankmehard]

i wish the crowd would shut up

[@tillydog]

Fantastic rendition of one of my favourite songs! Awesome!

[@ILive4Him2day2]

Beautifully arranged!!! I'm sure God smiled down on your performers and will continue to bless your music ministry! Praise God!

[@patrickenoe144]

We invented that instrument(Trinidad& Tobago, the onliest one in.the 20th century

[@clarkobannon8740]

Amen to that. Too bad this audience couldn’t shut up. Missed an amazing opportunity for a blessing. 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, God bless. :)

[@lumpcrabbarnacle3382]

@@patrickenoe144I’m so glad that you guys invented the steel drums. They have been my one of favorite instruments since I was young and I’m 75 now. Love from Seattle
