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.
