United Kingdom - Brent Holder, World
Champion Soloist, formed the Caribbean Steel International steelband in
2004, after obtaining invaluable experience from working with some of
the top steel bands in the UK, Trinidad and Japan with three members
owing to the demand for small gigging bands. After ensuring that their
small steel band was well established on the gigging circuit, CSI
founding members decided to start a community group which would involve
their local communities in the steel pan art form.
Community Group members are given the opportunity to perform their new
repertoire of music at gigs and various steel-pan events held throughout
the year including the BAS Trafalgar Square Steelband Jamboree and the
Notting Hill Carnival celebrations. There is also the great opportunity
to enter steel pan competitions like the BAS Pan Explosion and National
Panorama competitions. CSI also visits organisations, schools and
institutions to conduct workshops for those groups who are unable to
attend their weekly sessions. The ‘I’ in CSI identifies the fact that
they have players from all over the World, hence the name
‘International’. Panorama arrangements are available, musically scored
by Crystal Holder and in midi format for those living abroad or too far
away in the UK to attend regular practice sessions. This enables them to
learn the 10 minute tune and join CSI a week or two before the National
Panorama competition allowing more players from around the world to
experience the UK Panorama with CSI.
