<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Hello Julie,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 2 hours on 06/28/2017 07:00 PM would be around 450. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 275 and might even go lower.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6cf1b4ce9&mailDgs=312b6cf1b4ce7&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c7db703a6d17d6e73c534dd10eaff9f40f" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">The extended configurations work really well in many situations. They don’t work so well if you want extremely low volume music, have a limited budget, and/or have very limited space for the band to set up. The potential special advantages of the extended configurations are:</font></p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want an all live band with minimal tracks or looping<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want more musicians and instruments on stage for visual interest. A quartet typically includes a steel drum player, a steel drum and/or marimba player, an electric bass player, and a drum set player. With 5 to 7 musicians we might add congas/percussion, more vocals, horn, etc. The particular configuration will be tailored somewhat to your event.<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you are presenting a large event with full sound reinforcement and sound engineer<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want an all-live Latin dance party 5-7 musicians are ideal configurations</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want low-volume all-live background music that has more rhythmic drive and a fuller sound than the all-acoustic trio. We can play softly even with the full band, just not quite as softly as the solo/duo/trio. 4 musicians is the best budget option for this</font></li>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font></span>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
<span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6cbe60d15&mailDgs=312b6cbe60d13&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c787aabed336616f8c4fbef26230c6e099" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 1 hours on 06/24/2017 06:00 PM would be around 450. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 275 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">The extended configurations work really well in many situations. They don’t work so well if you want extremely low volume music, have a limited budget, and/or have very limited space for the band to set up. The potential special advantages of the extended configurations are:</font></p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want an all live band with minimal tracks or looping<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want more musicians and instruments on stage for visual interest. A quartet typically includes a steel drum player, a steel drum and/or marimba player, an electric bass player, and a drum set player. With 5 to 7 musicians we might add congas/percussion, more vocals, horn, etc. The particular configuration will be tailored somewhat to your event.<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you are presenting a large event with full sound reinforcement and sound engineer<br /></font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want an all-live Latin dance party 5-7 musicians are ideal configurations</font></li>
<li><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" size="1">if you want low-volume all-live background music that has more rhythmic drive and a fuller sound than the all-acoustic trio. We can play softly even with the full band, just not quite as softly as the solo/duo/trio. 4 musicians is the best budget option for this</font></li>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font></span>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
<span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6cb5a4153&mailDgs=312b6cb5a4151&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c7d8061b7d63c7154cc7832b79fe643aae" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 4 hours on 07/04/2017 05:30 PM would be around 636. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 461 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6ca786f6d&mailDgs=312b6ca786f6b&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c75c0964f3ad0dc9d6779dce9dbdff67cc" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 3 hours on 07/02/2017 03:00 PM would be around 672. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 497 and might even go lower.<br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></p>

<p><font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Hello Delores,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.<br />
<br />
We have been performing for over 20 years and have performed at Daybreak Star a number of times.<br />
<br />
Yo canto y hablo Espanol. Canto various canciones en Espanol y un par de canciones en Portugues.<br /></font>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6c9880589&mailDgs=312b6c9880587&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c749770c916b9c03bb5fa0e85e65be681e" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 3 musicians performing for 2 hours on 08/04/2017 05:30 PM would be around 980. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 805 and might even go lower.<br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font></span>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
<span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6c91f4861&mailDgs=312b6c91f485f&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c798d78102f17b38f20c803ed63c5d48a1" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 1 hours on 07/14/2017 08:00 PM would be around 450. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 275 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to be part of your event and we can bring various different sizes of groups, from solo to a 7-piece.</font></span>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">Please click the button above to give us some additional logistical information about your event so we can offer you the most discounted price. You receive a special discount just for providing this information on line!</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We are also available to review the details of your event with you on the phone and calculate the best price we can offer. Please call 206-919-2328 or respond to this email with the best time for us to call you.<br />
<br />
<span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6c3420994&mailDgs=312b6c342098f&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c7a1d640d0820bdc11b03ec364fe98c88a" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 2 hours on 07/08/2017 06:30 PM would be around 517. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 342 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></p>

<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6c281a60d&mailDgs=312b6c281a608&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c774fb98d5fd6293c9e2de03f799e54efc" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 1 hours on 07/08/2017 12:30 AM would be around 450. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 275 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<span>We play a lot of Bob Marley and some UB 40. In addition, we play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc. <a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6c1ee3120&mailDgs=312b6c1ee311b&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c79f1478b57ad5a7c9e4985fd3010cb2f4" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 3 hours on 06/24/2017 04:00 PM would be around 568. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 393 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

<span>We play a variety of upbeat, fun tropical styles from all over the Caribbean, Hawaii and the world, such as Hawaiian, Merengue, Salsa, Calypso, Reggae, Brazilian music, etc. We also play North American pop tunes that everyone will recognize, but with a tropical twist. When appropriate, we get the audience involved as much as possible with playing percussion, dancing, singing, etc.<a href="https://zoho.email-view.com/click.zt?linkDgs=312b6bf400520&mailDgs=312b6bf40051b&ver=a78101656d9c1ed0bd939597d2d6a7c75987f09a49e31081fb853e95c08ca437" title="Pan Leggo Web Site" target="_blank">Click here for more information!</a></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br />
<span>Very rough prices are available below for various configurations of our performance. These are high-end prices and will typically go down, sometimes by up to several hundred dollars, if you click for price discounts. </span><span>It is very rare that the price would be higher than what is quoted for the configurations below.</span></font></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> </font></span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><span>For example, based on the information that we currently have the price for Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party for 1 musicians performing for 1 hours on 06/24/2017 2:00 pM would be around 450. However, if you click for price discounts this could potentially go as low as 275 and might even go lower.</span><br /></font></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><font face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">We look forward to adding that special tropical touch to your event!</font></span></p>

A quartet typically includes a steel drum player, a steel drum and/or marimba player, an electric bass player, and a drum set player.

<p><span>Come join Ian Dobson on a rhythm and dance journey where all roads lead to Brazil for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games! You will stomp, clap, and sing your way to Brazil from the North and from the East. In the process you will learn about steel drums, body percussion, the music and dance of Brazilian culture, and where that culture came from.</span> Get ready to make the perfect music for this summer’s games!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Among other things, students will learn to:</p>
<p>1. Identify the language spoken in Brazil</p>
<p>2. Identify the language spoken in Cuba</p>
<p>3. Identify a dance style from Brazil</p>
<p>4. Identify a dance style from the Caribbean</p>
<p>5. Find Brazil on a map</p>
<p>Ian’s interactive web site provides learning opportunities before and after the show. The program is 45 to 50 minutes in length and requires ideally at least a 10' X 10' performance space. There are no limits on the size of the audience and Ian has performed his shows solo to audiences from 20 to around 1000.</p>

<p><strong>A High-Energy Show, A Steel Drum Party for Students! </strong></p>
<p><strong>MUSIC, CREATIVITY, CULTURE</strong></p>
<p>Ian shares the joy of exploring other cultures through music by recounting his quirky musical journey from Seattle grunge kid to Steel Drum musician. Throughout history there have been different groups of people who wanted to make music but faced challenges that prevented them from doing so. The show explores how these groups overcame this adversity by inventing creative ways to make music by repurposing and recycling. The program is interactive, with the audience participating throughout as they learn about musical innovations such as steel drums, the hambone rhythm, and the cha cha cha dance. Audiences have the option to bring homemade instruments to the show to join in the music making and Ian’s interactive web site provides learning opportunities before and after the show.</p>
<p>This rhythmical journey uses music, dance, and movement to inspire resourcefulness, creativity, confidence, and an interest in exploring other languages and cultures.</p>
<p>Multicultural curriculum tie-ins include:</p>
<p>-US and Caribbean cultural history<br /> -Multicultural themes<br /> -Culturally relevant rhythmic concepts and basic dance steps<br /> -Spanish language<br /> -A unique take on recycling</p>

<p><em>Thank YOU, Ian! You were a huge hit at TRL libraries this summer. I look forward to your return to Timberland... Again, thanks for making the summer much richer for Timberland kids and families. </em><strong>Ellen Duffy, Youth Services Coordinator, Timberland Regional Library System, Southwest Washington State<em><br /> </em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em>We couldn't have been any happier with the way everything turned out. The day was so successful. Jeff had students tell him it was their best school day ever ! You were such a natural around these kiddos. You impressed them with your talents and you inspired them I'm sure on many levels. Thank you so much for sharing you and your joy of music with us. </em><strong>Laurel Pope, ELL Program Teacher, Fryelands Elementary, Monroe</strong></p>

I had found shows that presented one type of music which was great but you combined several types of music from several regions. Our principal really liked that as well! </em><strong>Patricia Brewer, Brouillet Elementary PTA</strong></p>
<p><em>Ian Dobson's Steel Drum Party presentation thoroughly engaged and enchanted our students! The musicianship of the group is top-notch!

<div>#4 FOR IAN DOBSON'S TROPICAL ESCAPE SHOW -
<p>Take a break for a tropical escape!!</p>
<p>Join me and my amazing full band this Sunday at ______ as we sing and dance while answering the question of how a Seattle grunge kid, improbably, ends up falling in love with tropical music and the steel drum. As we play instruments including steel drums, ukulele, marimba, congas, drums, bass, and more, I will recount a quirky musical journey that taught me the common roots of grunge and Latin music and inspired my love of music from around the tropics. It's an interactive musical tour of the Islands that will put you into an island state of mind!<br /><a href="https://www.iandobson.com/music">https://www.iandobson.com/music</a></p>
</div></div>Bucket Drumming Remixhttps://www.iandobson.com/page/bucket-drumming-remix2014-07-11T06:57:54.000Z2014-07-11T06:57:54.000ZIan Dobsonhttps://www.iandobson.com/members/IanDobson<div><p>In this 1.5 hour program Ian Dobson shares how people with few resources in various cultures have used their creativity and resourcefulness to engineer sophisticated musical instruments from recycled materials. The primary example used in the show is the Caribbean instrument called the steel drum. Ian begins the show by performing on the steel drum, getting attendees involved with dancing and rhythmic games, providing a bit of cultural and historical background, and introducing the musical concept of “syncopation” which is so prominent in Caribbean music. He then presents a section on the physics of the steel drum with the cognitive learning objective of students being able to explain a sound wave and how multiple different pitches are achieved on one piece of material. Recycled buckets are then given to the students and they are asked to explore the sounds of the bucket themselves, apply the physics learned from the steel drum to the sounds created by the bucket, and be able to explain the basic physics of how the bucket sounds are made.</p>
<p>Ian then explores syncopation more deeply by teaching students basic bucket drumming with the physical learning objective of students being able to demonstrate syncopation.</p>
<p>To finish up the show Ian introduces digital technology into the mix so that attendees can relate their workshop experience more to the contemporary digital music that teenagers listen to. Attendees perform acoustic sounds that Ian then captures digitally with the cognitive learning objective of being able to explain what happens to the sound wave when it becomes digitized. Attendees collaborate with Ian to decide which digital processes to apply to these acoustic sounds and a final acoustic/digital performance is created.</p>
<p>Ian’s interactive web site provides related learning opportunities for attendees before and after the show.<br />
1. The general learning objective is for students to understand connections between creativity, resourcefulness, arts and technology.<br />
2. Participants will be able to identify elements of syncopation (cognitive) and they will demonstrate on the bucket drums (Physical).<br />
3. Participants will be able to explain a sound wave and how multiple different pitches are achieved on one piece of material using the examples of the steel drum and the bucket drum (cognitive and physical).<br />
4. Participants will be able to explain what happens to the sound wave when it becomes digitized (cognitive).<br />
5. Participants will experience the relationship between acoustic music creation and digital music creation.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-2">For outdoor performances we require a performance area that is protected by cover for the duration of the performance as rain and direct sunlight are extremely harmful to the musical equipment. Pop up 10X10 tents are great for rain or shine and picnic umbrellas work fine for sunshine. Steel drums are surprisingly fragile, very difficult to obtain, and even harder to keep in tune, so cover is very important.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times;" class="font-size-2"><b>No Cover</b> – Please choose this option if you are unable to provide protection from either rain or sunshine the as described above.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-2" style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><b>Rain Cover</b> – You cannot provide shade for the instruments in the planned performance location but have an alternate location that will protect the musicians and equipment from getting wet if it rains. YOU'LL SAVE $30!</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-2" style="font-family:'times new roman', times;"><b>Complete Cover-Indoors</b> –Choose this option if your performance will be indoors or if you I can provide cover from sun and rain as described above. YOU'LL SAVE $100!</span></p>

<p></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>I wanted to say thank you to you and your band for a great day at Bennett. Everyone was delighted and there was so much happiness buzzing in the hallway after school.</em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>My children stayed after school for an hour to play on the playground and kids from the Boys and Girls after school care program came out parading their instruments! </em></p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>That little boy… with the intuitive sense of rhythm... I shared your compliment with his mother yesterday. She said that she and her husband (his parents) are going through a divorce and his mother was away in a rehab program so he has been acting out getting lots of negative attention. THIS was exactly the happy, positive day he needed! Intuitively, I was thinking that this happy music would inspire little lives but I didn't expect to see the results so soon.</em></p>
<p><em><span id="docs-internal-guid-cd167fac-7b90-45ed-a5ce-6476509c51c9">Thank YOU!</span><br /></em></p>
<p><strong>Parent at Bennett Elementary</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>I also wanted to thank you for such a great two days. It turned out so much better than I could have hoped. Everyone had a great time!! For the first time, I don't think there was one negative comment and there usually is someone who has something negative to say</em> [about assemblies other than Ian's that they have had in the past].<em> The assembly was absolutely amazing. You had all the kids so engaged that with standing and moving around it didn't seem like there was almost 600 kids in the gym. It was so awesome!!</em></p>

<p>Recycalypso is an entertaining and unique workshop that gives participants an opportunity to learn about the amazing history and culture of the steel drum. With Ian Dobson as their guide and the steel drum as their inspiring example they explore creative ways to turn items that they think of as garbage into musical instruments. In the process they gain a new appreciation for resourcefulness and repurposing, and an understand of how frugality can lead to creativity… but, most importantly, they get to have a Caribbean party!</p>
<p></p>
<p>2 VERSIONS AVAILABLE</p>
<p>1. Elementary version geared toward ages 6 through 12. One hour.</p>
<p></p>
<p>2. College version geared toward high school/college and older. 2.5 to 4 hours including lecture, instrument-building/playing workshop, and performance.</p>
