Pantonic All Stars Steel Orchestra Parents Association Annual re ort 2023124 Registered Charity 1155970 82 Northumberland Rd Brinnington Stockport Cheshire SK58NW Structure overnance and mana ement Pantonic All Stars Steel Orchestra was founded in 1985 and registered as a charity on 28th February 2014. The Association operates with a constitution, developed for charity purposes at that date and detailing the organisation and responsibilities of management of the Associats"on. The Association is organised and managed by parents of players in the Orchestra, as well as some senior players who have been involved for over twenty five years. All the arrangements for the conrtS and other events as well as the control of finan, are in the hands of a small committee consisting of seven trustees. In addition the Orchestra is supported by other playerfs parents for help in driving to events, safeguarding and our street collections. The trustees were chosen from the existing management committee when the Orchestra was registered as a charity. As required trustees are selected from parents or players with similar backgrounds who show commitment to the organisation and well-being of the Orchestra. Finance The Orchestra operates a current bank account for day to day payments and receipts. It also operates two building society accounts. One for savings which are accrued for the purpose of buying new instruments, fvnding tours within the UK or abroad and replacement of vehicles. The second account is used to hold money collected in shopping precincts under street collection liCenS on behalf of the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital Bone Marrow Trust Fund (charity 702817). until it is donated to the charity annually. This year the orchestra has continued its fundraising activities for the Manchester Children's Hospitsl Bone Marrow Trust Fund. The Orchestra has collected for this charity Sin its foundation in 1985 and to the end of 2023124 had raised £60.887 making the Orchestra the largest single donation contributor to the charrty. We held a presentation evening and invited representatives from both The Manchester Children's Hospital Bone Marrow Trust Fund Charity and a lead consultant from Manchester Children's hospital. Both came along and gave a
talk about the charity and where the monies raised have help towards advancement in both treatment and research. In addition to this, the orchestra is holding a further £1268 in a savings account to donate to the charity during the 24-25 financial period to totsl £62173 The accounts for the year show a net income over expenditure of £3795.00. The Orchestra remains financially solid with two operational vehicles and sufficient steel pans and other equipment to support the size ofthe group. The orchestra has continued to invest in. purchase of new instruments and equipment. Plus cary out neSSary repairs and tuning to exists'ng equipment. Aims and ob"ectlves. To advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of music in all its aspects by any means the trustees see fit, including through the presentation of public concerts and recitals. 2. To further such charitsble purpose or purposes as the trust8 in their absolute discretion shall think fft but in particular through the making of grants and donations. The aims and objectives of the Orchestra have continued to be met during 2023124 with the recruitment of several new young players, and the continued development of playing venues to maintain the interest of the players and provide a variety of public locations for performances. The orchestra moved into its own premisses in September 2020 and has continued its operations and rehearsals to date from this location. Two senior player and one Junior player praCtIS are held weekty, to provide the music educational aspects of leaming new tunes and gaining improved musical ability in playing steel pan and supporting percussion. Activitles In addition to our regular weekly rehearsals, we have had a busy diary of around 40 events consisting of town ntre locations where street collections are carried out to providing entertainment at paid events. Several new locations were added alongside attending our regular events.
The orchestra has carried out open days and free trial periods for new player recruitment purposes during the year. This is something we will continue to work on and address to ensure that we maintsin a regular throughput of members. In 2023124 the Orchestra perfomied at venues in England, Wales. and Scotland. The Orchestra currently has 32 players on its books, including senior players who play in an associate steel band, some of whom have been playing in the group since 1987. The total throughput of players in the year was 43 including those long seNice players who left for university or fvll-time employment, and young players who came for short periods to decide whether they wanted to take up playing steel pan through their teenage years. Young players are generally recruited from local primary schools where they have leamt to play basic steel music, or simply from seeing perfonan8 in local Stockport venues, which creates the interest to join the group and learn to play steel pan. They typically spend around twelve months in the junior section before promotion to the senior group.
