Following up on the success of their first Panorama competition last summer and forging ahead, the United States Steelband Association (USSA) and the Immigrant's Journal's Legal and Educational Fund (TIJLEF) will present "Reflections in Steel" on Friday at 8 p.m. in Brooklyn College's Walt Whitman Theater.

The holiday show will star the Pantonic, Sonatas, Adlib, Despers USA, Pan Rebels and Dem Stars steel orchestras, with special performances by Mighty Sparrow and steel pan jazz soloist Garvin Blake.

The concert will be followed by the Immigrant's Journal's Friends of Immigrants dinner, dance and award celebration on Saturday at El Caribe Country Club Caterers in Brooklyn.

The affair will honor the winners of the fund's Goodwill Soccer league, its youth soccer program, its pan literacy program, a number of community leaders and organizations, and the top finishers in the USSA/TIJLEF Panorama 2001: Pantonic, Sonatas and Adlib, respectively.

"It's a big weekend for us," said Brian Figeroux, legal adviser of the fund. "We're trying to build a family where our motto is inclusiveness," he said of the journal's alliance with the USSA and other organizations.

Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. A Panorama 2001 CD will be on sale at the event.
