A lot has changed since Pantasia's first performance in 1994. Cell phones were a luxury and new cars still came with cassette players! The general public's knowledge of something called the "internet" was limited, the verb "texting" had not yet been spoken, and you couldn't even see a photo until you took the film to be developed.
Below are comments from verified booking sites, Google, and Pantasia's social media. You will save time and money if you book us directly through this web site and for this reason, we do not have a link to the booking sites where these comments originally appear. Pantasia Steel Band was absolutely FABULOUS at our event!
Due to the high volume of requests we receive, if you request a quote for a "fully booked" date mentioned below, you will not receive a return email. We are fully booked during those times and cannot accept another performance. Quotes are valid for 14 calendar days from the time you receive a quote.
Pantasia has a mix of Jimmy Buffett tunes that can be combined with our other selections to create a set list that any Parrot Head would give "two fins up!" Halloween- Monster Mash, Thriller, Ghostbusters, and other fun selections to get you in the Halloween spirit! Pantasia's repertoire also includes several original tunes, over a dozen lesser known Caribbean calypsos, and other songs that do not fall into the categories listed above.

Amazing performers! I have to admit that I was so stressed when the day of my event came around, but Kim was with me every step of the way. I made several last minute changes in location and timing due to inclement weather, but Pantasia rolled with the punches. My event was a success and it was largely due to Kim, her sense of humor, the team, their great attitudes, and their performance. Can't wait to book them again!

WHAT AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE! Kimberly was invited to work with my 3rd grade students as an Artist-in-Residence this school year for 3 consecutive days, and I wish we could keep her for the rest of the year! She just had so much knowledge to impart to my students and to me as well! I am so glad that my students had the opportunity to watch her and her band members perform (everyone in the audience were moving and grooving to the music, including all the other teachers), and the students were so excited to be able to come to music class to work with her on how to properly play the steel drums. Kimberly was also very professional and courteous in all of our communications during the planning stages and on the days she was in the school building working with us. I cannot wait to invite her back into my school to work with my students again!

Pantasia came to my school in Camden and performed an educational school assembly for my students. Very informative. Great interaction with students. Curriculum integrated lesson with social studies and geography. I would highly recommend Pantasia for any grade level school assembly, residency or teacher workshop. A+

I am a teacher and Kimberly has been coming to my school for years during our artist in residence week to teach my students how to play steel drums. She is absolutely incredible! The kids LOVE her and she does an amazing job every time. By the end of the week the students are able to play a few different songs and it is truly beautiful. Such a great experience every year! I can't say enough about her and Pantasia! AMAZING!

Pantasia Steel Band is awesome! We had them play at our wedding and reception in 2014. They were wonderful! Since that time, we have traveled around the state to see them perform. They even played the Star Wars Cantina Band music by request for the wedding. My wife and I love their music and can't wait for the next time to see them live.

It was such a joy to have Tony and Greg with us this past Sunday. They did a wonderful job and were extremely professional working with our professional orchestra; an absolute delight to work with. We gave them the score ahead of time and they played it flawlessly. The choir and congregation absolutely loved them and we are grateful to have had them participate in the service with us! The shirts looked great too!

We had Pantasia Steel Drum Band: at our event (A LUAU) for a family reunion and we had a BLAST. The crowd was diversified from ages 4 - 90. We laughed and danced the night away. They had loads of crowd participation and they kept the crowd ready to dance with different songs. It was good clean fun! They were professional, kind and talented. I would recommend them for any event where you want a feel good vibe, dance, music or to create a tropical atmosphere.
I also have hired them once before for an assisted living community where I was the activity director - well we had a cruise themed family night and the residents who ranged between 60 - 95 had a BALL! This group surpasses the generation gap; this group is good for any event! I give them 5 stars or whatever the highest rating is! They ROCK! Lovisa Matthews
