Maroon Steel
Maroon Steel is a steelpan ensemble that enhances music appreciation and performance while encouraging collaboration, inclusion, and leadership. The group will also create an engaging cultural experience for Texas A&M University and the rest of the community by promoting a greater understanding of the history and culture of the African diaspora as it pertains to the Caribbean.
Maroon Steel is made up of a beginner-level Tobago Band and an intermediate/advanced-level Trinidad Band. The Tobago Band Wednesday from 5:45-7 pm and Thursday 5:30-7 pm, and the Trinidad Band meets Tuesday-Thursday from 5:30-7 pm. All rehearsals are in the Liberal Arts and Humanities building, room 129.
Students may also participate in the organization by taking a Small Ensembles course through the College of Performance, Visualization, and Fine Arts. For Spring 2025, students can register for MUSC 381, section 503 for the Beginner ensemble, or section 505 for Intermediate/Advanced.
