This Winter 2025 Rockcreek Steel Drums is offering an Outreach Tour to Bring our Steel Pan Workshops to schools and libraries throughout the 16 Maryland Counties that are the focus of our 2025 Steel Pan Residency Tour.

Over the past 20 years we have visited over 400 schools and libraries and community groups  with our Steel Pan Workshops and performances. Since the Pandemic we have not held an outreach tour and have focused on regional artist in residency tours.

The goal of the Rockcreek Large Group Steel Pan Workshop tour is to visit an additional 30 schools, libraries, community groups this Winter/Spring and teach an additional 7,000 students to play steel pan in the Rockcreek Steel Band. In order to make it possible for schools we are offering our two hour block visit for half of our $1,200 price. The $600 visit includes travel for the following 16 Maryland Counties: Anne Arundel, Balt City, Montgomery, Howard, Frederick, Washington, Alleganey, Garrett, Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset, Dorchester, Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s and Kent counties.

The one visit two hour block Large group Workshop Visit can be two 45 min workshops or three 30 minute workshops with time between to change classes. We bring 40 full sized drums which can be used for up to 80 Elementary Students per workshop (40 with each student on a drum or 80 with two students per drum)…. for a total of up to 240 participating students. In this workshop students will learn the basics of playing The Steel Pan Instrument of Trinidad and Tobago… we will learn to play a full song on the steel pan.
