You can use the following text to introduce the Toucans at their next show:

"The Toucans Steel Drum Band has been delighting audiences around the Pacific Northwest for over a decade. Their high-energy rhythms are sure to lift your spirits and get your feet moving!
So, put your hands together for... The Mighty Toucans!"

Here is a collection of press clippings about the Toucans:

Their music reaches deep and audiences respond with wonder and delight to the Toucans' delightful, uplifting jingle-jangle steel drum music. I have watched them inspire dancers from the ages of 2 to 86 move from toe-tapping to stand-up dancing.

Once again, the Toucans proved to be the perfect opener for our Thursday Lunchbreak concert series, and drew the largest crowd ever to our downtown park. The audience was made up of pre-schoolers through senior citizens, and everyone had a great time!

Your performances are always very professional but light-hearted and fun which very quickly wins over every audience that I have had the pleasure to see. Your tasteful blend of percussion rhythms with the steel drums sets your group apart from other steel bands that I have observed over the years.

Dear Toucan Band,
That was the best music I ever heard! I have it stuck in my head it's so good. I love your music. I am going to make a steel drum of my own.

Love, Rachel Hermes, Age 7

Dear Toucans ...you guys are dynamite! Thanks for your lasting support of Potluck. You're a smashing band.
