Throughout the school year, the Pan Outreach instruments travel from school to school giving students an opportunity to play pan and learn about the culture from which they came. During the summer those same instruments are used by the Tin Cups ensemble to provide members with limited experience or schedule flexibility an opportunity to perform throughout the Twin Cities in area parades and festivals. Just like the Pan Outreach program, Tin Cups is offered at no cost to people of all ages and experience level.

From Sept. 14-Oct. 12 we are very fortunate to have Jeremy Kunkel, from PanOutreach, at Boeckman Middle School working with our Explorations in Music and Band learners.  They are all getting the opportunity to play these wonderful Steel Pan instruments!

This experience will culminate in an evening concert on October 12 at 6:00pm in the BMS Little Theater.  To assist Jeremy in planning the music selections and rehearsing the groups, please fill out the form to let us know if your student will be participating in the concert.  Students not choosing to participate in the concert are still playing in class.

Thank you for your support!
