Feature your school steelband on the My Panyard website

Dear Headteacher/Principal

I am writing to you to offer your steelband the opportunity to be featured on the My Panyard website.

My Panyard is going through an exciting period of growth and development and we have decided to add a new page, Features, to our GAPS-schools section. This page is intended to showcase the achievements of various school steelbands, whether great or small.

We hope to create building blocks that may:

 inspire pupils to pursue a musical career  support your school’s individual achievement and involvement in steelpan culture

To take up this opportunity, I should be obliged if you would complete and return the attached form in order to give your school steelband a favourable review.
