Did You Know?
The steel pan is the National Musical Instrument of Trinidad and Tobago where it originated in the early 20th century.  Musicians who play the steel pan are called pannists.  A group of pannists who play together is called a steel band.  Annually at Carnival time, there is a steel band competition called Panorama.
