Our steel band has actively contributed to the local community by performing at a variety of charitable events, including church gatherings, school and local community fetes, across Leicestershire. These performances have provided our members with valuable opportunities to develop their musical abilities and build confidence by playing in front of live audiences, while also supporting meaningful causes within the community. In addition to our charitable work, we have also performed at a number of non-charitable private events. These engagements have helped us to generate income to support the running of the band and have enhanced our reputation as a high-quality, professional steel band, further enabling us to meet our aims of musical development, community engagement, and cultural outreach. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we hosted a large community event that brought together current and former members, families, and members of the wider public. This event showcased the rich history and development of the band over the past five decades. Attendees enjoyed a wide range of musical genres, learned about the cultural and educational impact of the steel band, and celebrated the achievements of those who have contributed to its ongoing success. As a result of this celebration and community engagement, we have been able to pilot a new youth band specifically aimed at supporting young steelpan players who are no longer eligible to receive tuition through Leicestershire Music Service. This initiative provides a valuable progression route for these musicians, allowing them to continue developing their skills in a semi-professional environment and remain engaged with music and the steelpan community.
Our company’s stakeholders include: 1.Band members - both current and former - , including young people transitioning from educational steelpan tuition 2.Parents and carers of younger members Leicestershire Music Service, as a key partner in music education 3.The wider community of Leicestershire, including organisers and attendees of our public performances and events Consultation and Feedback Methods 1.We regularly engage with stakeholders through both formal and informal methods, including: 2.Verbal feedback during and after rehearsals, performances, and events and in band meetings. 3.Ongoing conversations with young players and their families regarding progression opportunities 4.Collaborative discussions with Leicestershire Music Service about gaps in provision and support for young musicians 5.Feedback gathered during community events, where organisers and attendees shared thoughts on the band’s role, outreach, and accessibility. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback As a direct result of consultation: 1.We developed and piloted a new youth band to support young steelpan players who no longer qualify for tuition through Leicestershire Music Service. This responded to concerns about the lack of progression opportunities for these musicians. 2.We enhanced our community engagement by organising inclusive events, such as our 50th anniversary celebration, which incorporated diverse music styles and showcased the band’s legacy, based on feedback valuing heritage and cultural inclusion. 3.We continue to adapt our performances and outreach to reflect the musical interests of our audiences, as expressed during events and charitable engagements. We remain committed to ongoing stakeholder consultation as a core part of our decision-making and development processes.
