About Us
Pan Jive has been in existence since 1998 under the direction of Rick Cline. Known originally as a community program, the group has evolved into a professional, working ensemble that performs all over the western half of North Carolina. Performing for dozens of elementary and middle schools per years, and audiences of over 1000, Pan Jive is a high energy, versatile combo. You will enjoy the diversity of our musical selections, from traditional to modern arrangements. The town of Hickory is proud to call “Pan Jive” their own steel drum band.
Pan Jive comes as a 6-7 piece band. Some things about the band can be negotiated due to space and/ or budget. Pan Jive can sometimes be as few as 2, or as many as 12 players when needed. Pan Jive is an independent group and operates like any other working band. Pricing for the band varies greatly depending on the following criteria: date, size and nature of the event, time of day, duration of performance, and special needs by employer such as requests, etc. Those prices can range from $250 - $ 3000. Pan Jive has hundreds of hours of experience playing all types of events and can customize and adapt to the needs of our employer. Pan Jive frequently works from a contract.
