"There's just ... all walks of Caribbean life here. And the steelpan community is very much a part of that," said Dr. Kendall K. Williams, president and founder of Pan in Motion, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing steelpan education to schools and promoting careers in music.
"Trying to get our message to as many people as possible, like the history behind the steelpan, the instrument, how it can be used in many different ways, how it has helped change people's lives," Dr. Williams told CBS News.
"This is very huge for us ... New York is probably the second largest competition in the world, Panorama competition in the world," Dr. Williams said concerning their performance at the Panorama.
