| | The Steelbands (Pan) of Trinidad and Tobago |
 | | The conventional steelbands of Trinidad and Tobago today can range in size from about 10 to 140 members, although 100 members is more usual today, each playing steel drum instruments or steel pans, as they are called locally. |
 | | No reference to the steelbands of Trinidad and Tobago could hold any weight, without some reference to the extraordinarily dedicated and talented men and women, who have in the past, or endeavour today, to make it all happen. |
 | | What is not directly apparent to the casual observer, or nonchalant visitor, is that in Trinidad and Tobago and perhaps just about now, in some other places, is that the steel drum instrument has matured into, and is now fully accepted as, an ordinary musical instrument. |
