The sounds of the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago could be heard Saturday afternoon in Franklin County.

The steelpan (also known as a pan, steel drum, and sometimes, collectively with other musicians, as a steelband or steel orchestra) is a musical instrument originating in Trinidad and Tobago.
