Youth Pan Program The primary purpose of our "Youth Pan Program" is to provide an education and understanding of music through Steeldrum instruments. The program also focuses on enriching the lives of students in Baltimore City by enhancing their academic ability.
The “Youth Pan Program” is an after-school and Summer enrichment opportunity for students in the Baltimore Metro area. It costs nothing to students and teaches them the history and fundamental techniques of playing steeldrum instruments. At the conclusion, students receive a certificate of completion. Exceptional students are invited to perform at the Harbor View Festival, a BECI Inc. sponsored community-based event held annually on the 2nd weekend of July at Reedbird Park in Cherry Hill. Registration for students wishing to participate in the program occurs quarterly and is open to any child between the ages of 8 and 18 years of age.  A registration form can be viewed and downloaded at our download Page. Students participating in the "Youth Pan Program" are additionally afforded an opportunity to join the Harbor Knights Steel Orchestra, the resident steelband of BECI Inc.  The group performs locally, regionally and upon request helping to promote the various endeavors undertaken by BECI Inc.  Please visit the Harbor Knights Steel Orchestra page for more information about the group. Please View the BECI Events Calendar for information about upcoming performances and scheduled events. Visit our download page for more information.
