These students are taking part in the steel band learning challenge. At this time the students are getting to grips with the drums. Steel pans are like a full metal drum that makes quite an interesting sound. The pupils are playing the steel drums for the first time and will be performing for the public on Festival Day.
We interviewed some students for some comments and opinions.
I like it. It is really fun to make music with pans. The sound of the pans was a little out of tune at first but after lots of practise, we have sounded better and better as the week has gone on.
I would love to continue playing and perhaps learn songs that I would normally listen to.
The teachers have really helped us along. They are experienced and they know what they are doing. We have all learnt how to play in quite a short period of time. We have gone from knowing nothing at the start of the week, to performing for everyone at the end of it. We are really proud of our challenge.

Here is a little taster of what we sounded like at the start of the week.
