Press Release Summary = Undaunted, driven and focused, Dominica remains on course to
having not only a major resurgence in steelband activities within the island, but
also becoming a dominant force in the near future.

Press Release Body = Roseau, Dominica - It has been less than six months since
Dominica pulled off one of the best steelband events for 2006. Last Spring Dominica
served as the host for the 2006 OECS Junior Steelband competition. The competition
received rave reviews and attracted participants from six nations within the eastern
Caribbean region. Dominica\'s steelpan music community is burgeoning. Moreover,
Dominica\'s musical influences, styles and tastes are similar in some respects to
other Caribbean nations, but its flavoring is very unique because of its history,
impacting greatly on the people\'s approach to steelband music. This is one of the
reasons steelpan music enthusiasts will be frequently visiting Dominica to hear
their brand of pan music big time. contact: Dominica Steelband Association | Anna
