Trincan Steel Orchestra

Trincan Steel Orchestra was formed in 1982 in Edmonton, Alberta. Its purpose of promoting Steelband music continues today. The home of "Pan" (as the steeldrum is called) is Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies. Trincan takes its name from the blending of Trinidad and Canada (Trincan home base).
When the band first started, practices were held at a variety of locations including garages, basements and storage sheds. At present, the band practices at the Orange Hub. Trincan has not only had varied practice locations, but the ages and experience of its members has been just as diverse.
Although members have changed throughout the years, Trincan maintains an ongoing commitment to preserve steelband music in Edmonton.
