Love City Pan Dragons

LOVE CITY BABY DRAGONS

The first "litter" of Baby Dragons, drawn from Pan Summer Camp '98 participants, was "hatched" in September 1998 by their first instructor, Victor Provost. Those original members 'graduated' to be the core of our skilled and self-assured Pan Dragons, several of whom have been playing pan for most of their lives.

The Baby Dragons' skill, discipline, focus and love of steel pan music was a tribute to their instructors, Victor Provost and Samuel Lawrence, and to the support of their families, the older Pan Dragons, and the St. John community. The Baby Dragons was discontinued after 3 years due to lack of funding.

The Pan Dragons Board is seeking a sponsor for a 2009 Summer Pan Camp and to start another Baby Dragons. It is the tradition of the band to provide this valuable program at minimal cost to the families of the members, who struggle every day to keep up with the cost of living on increasingly affluent St. John. We are counting on the community spirit of our good citizens to make it possible for the Pan Dragons program to once again serve double the number of children it does now.
