During the Easter break from school youngsters sometimes go on trips. From Long Island, New York the youngsters who are members of the ADLIB Steel Orchestra had a 'trip' of a different kind on the eve of Friday 5 April, the last official weekday of their Easter break- their first on a recording session!

The ADLIB group, aged approximately between 10 and 15 years - laid down tracks for their very first CD and shot video for their upcoming DVD. Bristling with nervous energy tinged with heightened anticipation, the youngsters tensely awaited the 'count' from their drummer to begin. When it came, the steel orchestra launched into what was to be a spirited and exquisitely executed set of about eight Pan selections for their debut CD and DVD. They handled arrangements of traditional 'soca' hits along with those of 'pop' and 'contemporary' pieces with style and aplomb. The piece of music heard with this Press Release is from this recording session.

Still basking in the glory of being adjudged the third best steel orchestra in New York, and perhaps in all of North America at the USSA 2001 Panorama, ADLIB's exuberant recording session was yet another soul stirring experience as the youngsters declared their musical heritage and pride. Their 2001 Panorama performance is available on the USSA Panorama CD.

ADLIB TO RELEASE DEBUT CD AND DVD!
