    PAN, STILL ON THE MOVE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE STEELPAN’S UNCHARTED GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH AMERICA, AND WHAT IMPACT THIS PUTS ON THE PAN MOVEMENT IN ITS PLACE OF ORIGIN, THE CARIBBEAN ANTHONY IRVINE WILSON A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO NOVEMBER 2020 © ANTHONY IRVINE WILSON 2020 ii ABSTRACT This study examines the growth and development of the steelpan in its place of origin, Trinidad and the Caribbean, and its diffusion into North American cities in Canada and the USA. This topic is based on a personal interest in the progressive development of the steelpan including the concerns and the implications for the future of the people, places, and institutions that are affected. Steelpan development, in its simplest form, is very broad when considering the varied aspects of cultural, social, academic, and economic scenarios. This dissertation offers a comparative analysis of the various aspects of steelpan development, based on the information focusing on two specific areas: academic and community development. Certain areas have begun the industrialized manufacturing of the instrument. The study is restricted to some of the major cities in Canada and the USA which have been heavily involved in some aspect of steelpan development. The rationale behind the study is to observe and determine the pros and cons in areas of development and to provide information that may be shared and further assist in steelpan developmental strategies. Findings of the research are determined through the examination of related books on the steelpan culture, government documents, newspaper articles, interviews, participant observation, and my personal direct and continuous involvement with the pan culture for over fifty years.

  • Aurora FC Shut out on Both Sides
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Oct 2 20:58:58 2021 / +0000 GMT Aurora FC shut out on both sides By Jake Courtepatte With the 2017 League 1 Ontario season all but over, both the men's and women's sides of the Aurora FC are looking towards the future. Inexperienced up-and-comers lined the rosters on Sunday in an opportunity to get their feet wet at the semi-pro level, blanked by two of the top teams in each division. The women faced a difficult task in Vaughan Azzurri, tied for second in league standings, coming out on the wrong end of a 3 ? 0 score in the second-to-last game of the season. After holding Vaughan off the board in the first half, a spurt of three quick goals in a twelve-minute span put the game out of reach by the 62nd minute. ?I thought our defense did very well today, especially the centre-backs - Laura (Marrelli) and Sarah (Reynolds) - and obviously Quinn (Josiah, the goalie, stepped up to play very well,? said Aurora team official Peter Bulford. ?In the conditions, I thought they did very well. It was a makeup team with some young players, middle players and older players that haven't quite played together before, so it was tough for us but I thought we did well.? Aurora, who holds a record of 9-9-1 good for a tie for seventh in the eleven-team league, will face the 2-15-1 Sanjaxx Lions at Monarch Park Stadium on October 8 to close out the season.
