Today, like the proverbial, "Phoenix rising out of the ashes," the New Cavaliers Steel Orchestra is being formed. Frequent meetings are being held at Mohammed's home against the background of a full room of steelpans. The steering committee comprises, apart from Mohammed, his three veteran players-Mervyn Diljohn (tenor pan), Elvin Martin (double tenor) and David John (trumpet). Even though the focus will be on the pan, there will be a fusion or marriage of the wind, string and other percussion instruments. The fusion of this ensemble will produce the big sound of a complete orchestra. The repertoire will comprise classical, Latin, local, religious and other music, and will be structured to include vocals. The New Cavaliers will be having a grand reunion of members of all those bands who have touched the life of the old Cavaliers, at the popular Skiffle Bunch Steel Orchestra Panyard on Coffee Street, San Fernando, on March 12, at 3 pm, to share the memories of the past and to restore that southern brotherhood and camaraderie among the bands. The Sunday Guardian wishes the New Cavaliers all success in the future.
