- Dover High School students and members of the steel drum band performed this classic in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University Tuscarawas under the direction of Joan Wenzel.
This is what you call a REAL metal band.
Steel in specific 😉
Heavy metal 😂
Yeah
Ok. You got me😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I mean, you're not wrong.
It's so nice to see people from another culture playing your nations musical instruments. It gives you a sense of pride and appreciation. And even tho I've been abroad for over three decades, I still stop in my tracks every time to listen when I hear steel pan. I guess it's in my blood. That was very enjoyable. Well done kids.
Where are you originally from? Btw steel pans are prolly the nicest instrument ever, they sound so nice

Just in case, know tons of french kids learn this by heart, it was my school's grand finale at the festival when I was little!
But ur name is lyk an indian
I lived in the Caribbean all my life and have heard a lot of steel band. This is an awesome performance.
Nothing better than belonging to a choir/band at some point in your life.
Hi,how are you doing today?
Been in a choir for over 60 years enjoyed every minute,travelled the world,still going strong,🎶🎶🤣
The shear fact that this school has a steel drum band makes it so awesome that I can't even comprehend it! O.O XD
I wish I went to this school 🤪😘🥰🌹
go check out new philadelphia steel band
Any day a guy can get chills from an instrument for the first time is a good day in this life.
Their desire to replay this song is just a whim away, a whim away...
Something you may never see again in you're life time 40 kids and not one computer or Xbox between them. "BRILLIANT " well done kids you're parents must have been proud of you.
Im glad that everyone enjoyed this performance! I am in this steel band and Dover has a great music program with excellent teachers. Especially Miss Wenzel who taught me how to play the drums in 5th grade. She is one of the best educators a person could ask for!
As a 1967 grad. I'm happy to see Dover continuing to support the music education. Some of my most fond memories are from the Dover High School music department and the instructors!

I grew up in South Dakota but lived in Trinidad for a couple of years back in the 1980's. Still have very fond memories of going to the upside down Hilton on Friday night to listen to the pan band, hearing the pan yard at night up the street in Petit Valley leading up to Carnival, and of course all of the great bands, large and small, during the Carnival. This brings all of the great memories back to me. Great job kids.
First heard the pan 60 years ago. Still enjoy the sounds of T and T. Thank You!!!
Never fails to amaze me what the human brain can produce music from virtually anything, ,from hollow reeds different lengths, to 50 gallon oil drums, which to me have the best of sounds
Umm actually it's 42 gallons
nah i've seen 55 gallon mostly
Chance and circumstance is the mother of invention.
These instruments was invented and originated in TRINIDAD and TOBAGO. The only instrument invented in the 20th century. The originals was made from oil drums and still are made this way in my country...TRINIDAD and TOBAGO.
nah. It's 200 liters
So good! Love how they played this! So proud to see our national instrumental being played in other countries. ❤ from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
🇹🇹🇹🇹
Love that u guys found here . . I played this song in Trinidad when I was in school form 2 😅
My uncles in the 1970s formed the York Lions Steel Band in Toronto Ontario Canada. Have since played all around the world.
When a steel drum band sounds as good as these do then it is something special. Good luck to them and i hope that the future is very positive and rewarding for them.. Regards Mick..........
THE KIDS WILL REMEMBER THIS CLASSIC TUNE NOW FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
I love Steel pan ... love Trinidad and Tobago ..... and am Venezuelan
These kids are all grown up now. I'm listening 11 years after this was posted. I love the steel drums and this performance was fantastic, I hope these young people carried in and developed their talents further, they deserve lots of success in their lives.😀👍
Time is a cruel and careless thief. It steals from our lot , leaving only grief.
Pleasant comments coming from people of Trinidad and Tobago. Continue being proud of this steel drum cultural heritage. (I read 'Caribbean' authored by James Michener some two years ago....was touched deeply by the sad history forced onto local Caribbean people, by mostly westerners.
They deserved a bigger applause. They played a much loved classic brilliantly.
Thank You for the steel band music. It brings to my memory very pleasant evenings in the Caribbean some 30 years ago.
Can't get better music. Steel Band / Steel Orchestra as we refer to it in the Caribbean is the most beautiful music. Definitely home grown.
These young people give this beautiful timeless song a renewal that gives my soul joy!
Hi,how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day?
That really was OUTSTANDING,I once saw a steel band in Manchester with all children participants,I couldn’t believe how good they were as the eldest was only about 12,it’s great to see and hear these talented youngsters,it was a Privilege.
It's nice to see and hear people from another country playing my country instrument it's not for playing carnival music you can play classic music too I am proud to be from the country that inventory pan Trinidad and Tobago
I WANNA CRY, THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD SONG AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
This is from my country Trinidad and Tobago and being a past steel orchestra performer in my country this is just an honor watching it done from another country. 100% representing Trinidad. Ok now I need to retune my tenor pan lol. You all bringing back the steel pan vibes in.
Kudoe's to the band teacher for the beautiful co-ordination of all players.
Love the energy of the band. I can feel they love what they are doing. And that song is one of my favorites 😍 .fantastic job guys
Hi,how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day?
Hope & dreams are still alive and well in our youth.
What a joyous sound...
Dad use to listen to this on his radio while driving.
Steel drums are one of the finest examples of celebrating life when you have almost nothing.
Making music together especially on th steel drums,is the best joy there is ,well done, you are 👌 awesome, keep going , just fantastic
Hello,how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day
Ein Instrument, dessen Klang einfach nur unwiderstehlich gute Laune macht 🥰
That entire group could come to Florida, open up a bar on the beach, and play to huge crowds every evening! Pure money!
I wish i had schooling like this, 54yrs old now and how things have changed in some schools for the better.
Great to see youngsters enjoying something like this together. This is what builds community.
Loverly. Well done all of you.
Amazing how timeless some performances can be. Just watching this, and thinking that everyone who played is no longer a child - if they went straight on to college, every one of them would have graduated by now. I wonder what it feels like for them to look back on this and realize they've had more than 5 million views.
man thats crazy..
@@DestroylonIey I am at our schools steel drum band ( I go to the school that plays in this) and they mentioned it and I was like holy crap that’s sick
That made my day
Yes, I, too. Wondered that.
@@sleepy_634I hope that you’re as good as they were if not better.
High schools steel band national championship today 14 January 2024 in Trinidad.
The drums fascinate me but more than that, these kids fascinate me!
Excellent rendition of a much loved song.
Who says school does not educate, that was wonderfull and a memory that will stay with them for ever

If ...... only the whole world would play kettle drums together ...... the syncopation of these musicians is phenomenal !!!!
+Wladyslaw Warnenczyk ...These are Steel Pan Jamaican Drums, but Kettle Tympani drums are nice, too. :)
Tegan Bigone are you one of the musicians??
I appreciate your sense of humor, brian,
+Tegan Bigone steel drums are from Trinidad and Tobago
Thank you for the clarification. Do you play?
Oh, it makes my heart happy to see young kids playing the steel drum!!!
BEAUTIFUL KIDS
BEAUTIFUL song
GOD BLESS ALL
Keep GOING KIDS
Be PROUD of EACH ONE
I’ve never considered the sound of people beating on metal drums to be “music”. It’s always just sounded like people beating on 55 gallon barrels.
This came up in my feed. When I saw the title of what they were “playing”, I clicked on it to see how badly they were going to murder it.
WOW! Consider my attitude changed. This is terrific.
That these are high schoolers isn’t surprising. Band kids (and I was one all the way through school) have always been a little quirky- when get interested in something a little off the beaten path, they put their heart and soul into it.
Thanks to whoever posted this.
That's so so beautiful I absolutely love listening to these kids playing these instruments it's just a real joy to listen to this beautiful music. ♥️❤♥️❤
Hi,how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day?
I love this compilation. Gorgeous music from marvelous kids' hands.
Trinidad and Tobago are originators of steel pan, calypso and certain brands of pepper sauce. Jamaica has Mento, Ska, Reggae and jerk. Roti is found throughout the Caribbean. No more war. One love
The Steel Drum one of the most unique musical instruments ever produced
Nothing can duplicate the sound
The skill of the musician just Outstanding.
Thank you so much for posting

This was well done. I love the arrangement. It makes me proud to be a citizen of the twin island republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is on our tiny island of approximately 1.3 million people that the steelpan was invented. We are also known for our Carnival. We are known for Calypso and Soca music. Bunji Garlin who sang Diffrentology is from Trinidad. Brian Lara the cricketer and world record holder is from Trinidad also. Our most recent sporting hero is Keshorn Walcott he won the gold medal at the olympics in the field of javelin. I love my country. Trinidad and Tobago to the world!
TheAcnnero u said it bro Sweet T&T
Well said #triniforlife
Many KUDOS to you and your great country. It has given the rest of the world some truly wonderful music and song.
And we thank you for it!
Ato Boldon, the incredible sprinter turned sprinting commentator, coach, former politician, and pilot.
What a wonderful thing for these young people to do.
Remember seeing a steel band in our city centre brilliant lively music bringing a sound of the Caribbean to york . Bought one of their cds. Really upbeat music. I like when the saints go marching in.
it is amazing that there is so much time taken to 'tune' each instrument
Hi,how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day?
And Now Have more modern Way off tuning
Very interesting 😊
Great instrument. I lived in the Caribbean and this was music l enjoyed these kids did a great job
Hard work, discipline, intelligence, dedication, good taste... Fantastic!!!
Two words: *BEAUTIFUL, BRAVO.*
Guys we don’t care where the pan is from all we need to know is that it’s a beautiful instrument and it’s played well
I'm thrilled to see that in highschools are playing good music. I had some of the most boring songs when I was in the high school band. Challenging to learn to play when the music isn't interesting.
The guy standing in the back with his hand in his pocket is being punished for not practicing. There is always one and that one was always me. lol
Trexx G that’s the band manager, he just wants his gold stars
If you don't know the song don't screw it up!
is that all you got from this video? Nothing about the beautiful skill of these kids and the beautiful song they are playing....Sad.
Wow, is this for real?

You can’t help but smile, I needed a smile so thank you
In 1984 or 85 I travelled to Dover, England via boat and hired a car to attend the Grand Prix at Brands Hatch. It was a grueling day especially driving on the wrong side of the road. When Ingot to Brands there was a group of 15-20 playing steel drums and it had an amazingly salutary effect on me. I’ll never forget that.
It is reminding me when I was Young and worried Free! Our High school was very small but I sure enjoyed band. This is so cute! They are all great! Thanks for sharing!
I just love that special sound a steel band produces.
Muchas gracias por todo y gracias a ustedes que le gusta la música que estoy pasando soy Leandro González el garaje y todo estoy aquí en la calle pero perdóname mamá no la próxima ser peor me alegra que estén disfrutando y que le haya gustado siempre Leandro González
When I was in Jamaica was my first time to hear a steel drum band. Dover did well.
This is one of my favourite songs. I did not know there were so many talented steel drummers who were able to do this magnificent performance. Congratulations to you all!
Makes my heart sing ‼️🥰💖🥰
Hi, how are you doing today,I hope you’re having a beautiful day?
That is one gifted teacher!
Those kids are super fantastic! That was a pleasure to listen to!❤
nice to see people outside of Trinidad playing our instrument 😅
Love steel drums. Have no reason why except they seem to speak to me. Thank you for your performance.
Ok recommendation algorithm... ya done good this time. That was fantastic.
Love the sound of kettle drums 🥰 it's just a happy, full-on joyful and vibrant sound that makes you smile. Absolutely brilliant.
I was in Trinidad and Tobago in Dec 1975, enjoy lots of steel band and Rum and coca cola
The hot song of that time was no woman no cry...
Some room echo that effect tge recordings
Excellent performance !
I must say, this is the first time in a long time that I can remember when I've seen so many high school students gathered together for this long of a time and not even one of them picked up or even looked a smart phone or mobile device.
steel drum-the national instrument of trinidad and tobago (my country). i also play the steel pan at school. i play the tenor and the triple chello
I play the C High Tenor
I can do bass, high + low tenor, double second and double guitar and I can also do a little bit of piano. Only been playing pans for 3yrs.
*Cello
ok den
You GO GIRL!
I have always loved the steel drums and when ever I see them being played on the street or in some other venue I stop and enjoy. It puts me in another state of mind. One of love and tranquility. You just drift off to those islands in your mind's eye. The sound is so unique and these kids do it at a tempo that just rocks you like a baby. I wish this is what teachers would teach. But no they are just to insane and do not stick to what we pay them to teach. They use the time we allow them to be with our kids to plant seeds of discontent.
I was in the cadet band in highschool and it was an experience I will never forget marching in parades and being part of something bigger than me. I was always a musical person but never really could play like these kids do. They are wonderful. Stop looking for the flaws in one another and just shut up and play.
If teachers would just stick to teach things like this instead of their constant harping on civil rights and socialism and social justice and the environment we would be a better country. That will all come with time. But then again most are derisive people full of hate for America. We have always embraced other cultures and their music and it is a wonderful thing as music brings together not ANTIFA thugs but teachers today are Pure CRAP. They are hell bent on poisoning the minds of our youth when they have an opportunity to take the high ground and give our kids something to be proud of like this band.
While visiting in Italy one year with my wife and mother in law went shopping one day and I took a nap only to awake to the sounds of the song that they played in Star Wars when Darth Vader came into the scene. The music wafted through the air and into the open windows of our hotel room. I got up and followed it down the narrow streets to what was an open market earlier that day. There in the market square was a large orchestra of students playing this Darth Vader theme. I was awestruck by the beauty of it. They played so well. I looked around and there was my wife and her mother drawn to the same spot by this beautiful rendition of Vader's Theme.
This is what our young people need not all this division and hatred between the races and our government and the President that they dole out in ever increasing measures.
The young people in this Steel Drum band are beautiful and I applaud these kids for their beautiful playing. Brovo
As a DHS grad from the last century who played my trumpet dismally in the marching band of 1961, this video made me proud. You've come a long, long way, DHS musicians, and I complement Ms. Swinderman for helping you on your journey. Bravo!
Marvelously played, the professionism was remarkable, it was a proud moment for them their teacher and their parents.
When The Lion King is a Carribbean Adventure where Simba is a newcomer into the Island and Timon & Pumba walk around sporting dredlocks and Bob Marley TShirts :D that would be awesome
THAT'S a sequel I'd watch!
Lovely and very talented students, thank you! Brighten the day!
My new channel I hope, no I guarantee will brighten your day. What do u think of my Blinding Lights cover?! It has the different steel drums, and crazy editing visuals to complement the sweet pan music. I hope u can tell me what u think!
@@sirmcdon mannnn this is fireeeee. how do u not have more subscribes lmaoo. hope to c more content from u my man
I adore steel drums ! I think the original steel drums were made from steel drums that were use to transport various liquids (?) I first heard a steel drum played back in the 60s/70s when calypso music was popular ( loved the music and the sound of the steel drums ) “carry on my island friends”🌴🌺🌸🌼🐚🐬🐟🐠🐡🦞🦐🦑🐡🐙🦀🦈🐋🐳. ✊🏾👣

AWESOME! SO BEAUTIFUL. WHAT A BEAUTFUL GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE! THANK! KALISPELL,MT. 6/3/22
That was a combination of two of my favorite things...Steel Drums and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Kudos to both the student-performers and the teachers who brought this together! Thank you.
One of my favourite songs. They did it proud, well done kids.
Nice job.
When I was old enough as a child to have a memory, this is the very first song in my memory bank. 1966
Randomly once I was in Trinidad. Needed to fly from Surinam to Miami. One night in Trinidad. The hotel band was playing original steel drums. Br Kauko
Loved it…really enjoyed this. Sounded sensational. Great job everyone!
Wow! Look at the joy on their faces! Wonderful! Young people united by music!
Well Done kids a great tune and a great band... Well done all. From Old Tom in Ayr Scotland..

Absolutely beautiful and very beautifully done!!🇱🇷👏✝️👍🌹🌹💕❤️💓💗

I thought so too,
I love to binge watch these performances.
Great job! Go, Band!
Always loved the sound of a good steel drum band, and this band ranks as one of the best. Great job and thanks for sharing.
I think these students are great. It was so refreshing to hear and see the talent that they have.
Our School needs this..
Awesome guys. Reminds me of the steel drums in Martinique. 50 yrs ago. Club Med. They would play almost all day.
