A message for the BACK TO THE FUTURE forumites from someone ON THE GROUND who has lived the LIFE OF PAN

WST - "Can the steelband return to "the road" for Carnival Monday and Tuesday, in force?

Carol-Ann A. - "I don't know that the Steel Bands can return to the road in full force. Speaking from my experience with Harvard Harps, we come out on J'ouvert and Monday night, we're pulled by a wrecker and it's very expensive. So if we had to come out both days all day, we couldn't afford it, and, we would definitely have TO PAY PLAYERS so that would cost even more"  

So let us start looking forward and stop looking BACKWARD!!! Pan on the road for Carnival ROLLING ON THE GROUND is HISTORY!!!

    All I am talking about is 8-9 hours on the road Carnival Monday afternoon.

    Cecil: Check the date on which this article was written! And then go down and read the FIRST FIVE of the LAST SIX paragraphs -- most interesting in retrospect.

      patrick, we could find a way to move the pans on the ground and get young people to play,  all that's needed is the correct plan.

    We can go forward, how 'bout enclosed air-conditioned trailers with speakers on the outside? Sometimes I wonder if people are really satisfied with "pans in the air". Either which way, we jamming still.
    I prefer pan on the road though.
