Back IN THE Groove As the world settles into its post-pandemic-new-normal, the thing we all want most is the chance for kids to be kids again. We welcome the return of proms, graduation parties, sporting events, and theater and musical performances.

The students of the Petoskey Steel Drum Band are delighted to be playing music again in towns all across northern Michigan. And you, as audience members, are happy to once again hear that sweet summer sound of steel drums.

Maintaining a music program through a pandemic has been a big challenge for the band directors at the Public Schools of Petoskey. It required a lot of hard work and commitment from the students. We think you’ll find that their hard work paid off. Through it all, the band program’s high expectations never wavered. You’ll hear that in the tight sounds and you’ll see it in the high-level of energy the students bring to every performance.

Whether you sit back in your lawn chair on a warm summer evening or get up to dance with the music, you can return to your summer groove with another great performance by the Petoskey Steel Drum Band. Enjoy the show.

A Double Decker Facelift!

REFURB(ERATION) OF THE REVERB(ERATION)

As the Petoskey Steel Drum Band hits the road for its 26th summer, they’ll be rolling through the streets with a new look. Whether you call the big red trailer “the bus” or “the double decker,” Petoskey’s band directors are calling it “refreshed.”

Originally, the inspiration for a performance trailer came when the steel drum band was performing on a cruise ship that was on a port-of-call in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2003.

While walking around the city, band director Barry Bennett and long-time band volunteer Dan Cole saw a rickety trailer in a parking lot that appeared to be a steel band performance trailer. It was. When they saw someone hitch it up and pull it away, the idea was born.

In 2005, Petoskey Bands bought a trailer from a local farmer and worked with Performance Engineers of Charlevoix to design a safety first, one of a kind, traveling musical venue. The directors and other volunteers worked continuously for four months to get the trailer “performance ready.” Since then, regular maintenance, updates, and safety checks were carried out by Metal Head Welding. A third axle and an extension known as the “back deck” (for the bass pans) was added over the years.

After traveling thousands of miles, the double decker needed a fresh coat of paint and an updated look. Original steel drum band director Barry Bennett said, “I wanted to get it refurbished for a few years, but it was too expensive and an extremely large job. This past year World Truck & Auto Body of Traverse City gave us a reasonable quote.”

After three weeks of mechanical and safety updates, the trailer was headed to Traverse City.

Refurbishing the trailer involved stripping it down to the bones–sandblasting, painting, and clear coating. The entire floor was sanded and repainted by Barry Bennett himself.

Then, along with the help of Mike Downey and lights by Bird Dog Lighting, the band directors replaced and installed 750 feet of LED lighting.

Finally, Pro Image Wear of Petoskey created all new signage to showcase the band’s financial supporters: Meyer Ace Hardware, Grandpa Shorter’s/Katydid, Willson’s Garden Center, Sunglass Shoppe, Stafford’s Hospitality, Harbor Brenn Agencies, and Little Traverse Electric.

The total estimated cost of the restoration project was approximately $25,000.

Petoskey Band director Duane Willson commented, “I’m incredibly grateful that Barry started this program and then pushed to do the updates. He built the trailer originally and then spearheaded the renovations. He worked daily from August through November; without him we would not have the most epic parade float in the Midwest.”

Willson continued, “As the current director, I am very excited about this project and proud that our students get to play on something that I have never seen anywhere else.

The bus allows them to perform at many parades in a way that no other students will ever get to experience.”

THE

Instruments Steel Drums, or pans as they are called, have come a long way from their beginnings as abandoned oil drums on the island of Trinidad and Tobago. Now, companies like Panyard and Coyle manufacture drums to highly technical specifications. Their sound has expanded from their calypso roots and can be heard in multiple genres. The Petoskey Steel Drum Band repertoire includes popular music, classical, Celtic, and even some country sounds from time to time.

Within the Petoskey Steel Drum Band you’ll hear four voices of pans.

The Lead Pans

The Lead Pan is a single drum and is seen along the front row. It carries most of the melody with a range of around two octaves.

In the second row are the Double Seconds which carry more of an alto voice. They are a set of two pans per musician and carry some melody and counter melody. They also have a range of around two octaves.

The pans seen in the back right, from the audience perspective, are called Cellos and they carry the band’s tenor voice. Each cello player has a set of four pans with a total of around 18 notes.

The Double Seconds

The Bass Pans are generally seen in the back left and each set has six large, red drums. They also have 18 notes.

Rounding out the band is the “Engine Room.” In a jazz band, they would be called the rhythm section, but in Trinidad and Tobago terminology the drum kit, bass guitar, congas, and other auxiliary percussion instruments are known as the engine room.

If time allows after the performance, you’re invited to meet the students and to learn more about the instruments. Maybe you can even give them a try.

PSDB members play other instruments during the marching band season. Steel drum rehearsals begin immediately after the marching season ends.

Hello Steel Drum Lovers!

What a fabulous treat for us who live thousands of miles from the islands!

Kudos to all the people who make this happen!!

I sell real estate in Traverse City – the booming, bustling great energy town where so many people want to live. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up, here – and for 34 years, the joy of helping others find their perfect spot in our little paradise.

I’ve also had the pleasure, for 20+ years, of hosting Ask the Real Estate Guy with Jack Lane on WTCM AM-580. You can listen to it from anywhere in the world (Europe, Asia, Florida, even the islands!) If you listen once, you’ll become a regular – history, baseball, humor, back stories about all things northern Michigan and, occasionally, real estate!

That’s it. Let’s listen to these kids and their amazing toe tapping music.

Get up and dance if necessary!! I’m just happy to be a small sponsor of this amazing musical feast. But do keep this program handy – and if there’s ever anything I can do for you, real estate wise, please let me know. You’ll love living here – whether it’s on the water, downtown or some delightful spot nearby.

SupportTHE BAND

The Petoskey Steel Drum Band has accumulated more than $150,000 worth of instruments and equipment, plus two trucks, a storage trailer and a performance trailer. On top of that, they purchase music, tune the drums annually, and pay a lot of travel expenses. The students even receive a small stipend for the time they commit to traveling with the band during the summer. Despite all of these expenses, the Petoskey Steel Drum Band is self-sustaining. They rely on performance fees, the advertising revenue from this magazine, sales of their music, and generous contributions from their audience.

BUILDING CENTERS & DESIGN SHOWROOMS

All donations support the Petoskey Band Boosters, an entity that includes the entire instrumental music program at the Public Schools of Petoskey. The band program spans from grades six through 12 and includes steel drum bands, jazz bands, concert bands, and the award-winning Petoskey Marching Northmen.
