Oberlin Steel is a steel drum band based at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. Formed in 1980 and known as the Can Consortium until 2001, the group plays in the tradition of the great steel bands of Trinidad, but also performs arrangements of salsa, calypso, jazz, and original compositions and arrangements by band members. The band is entirely student run and ranges from 16-20 members. A dance band in the truest sense, Oberlin Steel often performs at campus events and in the Cleveland area.
