PAN SPLASH POOL PARTY ON D GREENS 2014

So this is what your $700 buys you at Pan Splash: the usual t-shirt, cup, food and drinks AND your TICKET...however our entire Pan Splash area is private including a private entrance so you don't have to fight to get inside. Food court and premium drinks bar is also private, and can only be accessed by Pan Splash members.
There will be a 70 foot pool inside the area for you to splash and don't worry we have a bess filtration system to keep things clean. We have private showers, locker rooms and toilets so you don't have to share with the rest of the pan attendees.
Our party runs from midday to midnight and has a jumbotron and performances with the PHI pan. You are welcome to bring your swim suit because we'll be splashing. Now if that ain't sounding like a bess event, nothing will!

  • When the steel pan was started many years ago, it was like if the founders and players were outlaws and in many cases were treated as such. They stood tough and fought hard to preserve pan, they persevered and created a movement, these pioneers were innovative thinkers who thought outside the box. Today we enjoy "we pan" because of them and unlike many I do not belive that pan is in danger, it just needs to be capitalized on with greater foresight. It should be mandatory in all Government schools, integrated and used especially in high risk areas like a youth club where  kids not only learn to play at Carnival time but become proficient in music and playing year round.These kids can be taught arranging, tuning, the history of pan, fundamentals of making a pan and be part of year round concerts throughout TnT, under the auspicies of Pan Trinbago. Pan should be used as a tool in crime fighting from a social standpoint. While this idea may sound idealistic it's doable because for every child who gets involved, it means one less young mind left idle for criminal elements to influence.

    Let me attempt to reconcile what I just expressed with this pool party on the Greens. I see it as thinking outside the box. I would prefer this activity right next door to the Panorama as long as it does not disrupt, than promoters keeping events to rival panorama in other areas, thus pulling people away from instead of closer to the event. What this does in my mind is expands the panorama party. Let the Savannah Party as we call it, really be just that with the centerpiece being Panorama. Capitilize on making revenue around it and use that revenue to put in place some of the ideas I expounded above. We need to invest in our youth who already are the backbone of the pan movement even more.If done wisely it could prove beneficial in expanding the love for pan which has diminished greatly, more importantly it's about playing a part regardless to how minute in saving our youth.  

    Come Pan Trinbago you have disappointed for far too long, time to step up and play your part,don't let this Pool Splash and and whatever else you may do in the furue on the Greens just be a money grab. You have a gem in the palm of your hands that you can use so effectively to help save the youth of our nation and give even greater stature to your organization. Partner with the Gov't and steelbands to start this initiative, think outside the box even more and make it happen.

  • Please, what utter bull-crap. https://whensteeltalks.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=2534462:Topic:42...
  • The realty are that present & future Govt are under pressure from TT Citizens to get the TT TaxPayers monies out of - Chutney Soca Monarch, Soca Monarch, TUCO, Pan Trinbago, TTBA etc.- these organization are complaining about cutbacks on their 2014 subventions. The Minister is pressing these organization to be self-sufficient. I see no let up on the TT Citizens backing down on these protest about Tax Payers money. Very soon their would be a major announcement on these issues, a consultant has been appointed last week to look into these organizations pro & con towards carnival revenues $$$$$$$$$$$$ within their organization bring into the country. (tourist dollars)

    All of these organization have an excellent product to be self-sufficient - they are lacking people who would carry them forward....

    • The GHOST is coming down. He will eradicate all evil, cure every ill, audit every book, enrich each panman and make PAN TRINBAGO a GLOBAL FORCE in the music industry. PAN WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN OIL.

    • Gavin,

       They have to start sending people to jail in the Mecca, too much misuse of tax payers $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

      • Cecil, in TT you cannot FIRED a police officer, a civil servant the Laws governing these institutions are arcane, when they do wrong they send them on paid leave.

        Organization like pantrinbago have strict rules about operations namely - yearly Audited Report - the big question as a public entity - are their annual report confidential or open to the public?

  • Truth be told. The Pan came into being by way of the African genius. No other race was involved. Purely African, and solely because of that, it has been the scorn of the "so-called upper class" to this day, who, like Napolean the invader into Kemet, could not stand the fact that such genius resides in the African mind and would go to any length to destroy what they beheld. To have a pool party at the same time and venue as Panorama is the height of disrespect to the African genius.I am calling on all Africans who are involved in the Pan Movement to boycott and stand up for your pride and culture, if Pan Trinbago should allow such an insult to take place on the night of Panorama. I see that there are some members of WST who like  this stupid and insulting idea. My question to the members is. How could say you're a member of WST and go for such nonsense?. Trust me, if the leaders of the steelbands don't stand up and show their disgust, then by next year there will be an amplified sound system on a stage, pushing the dagger further into the hearts of the ancestors who passed this knowledge onto us. I hope and pray that there as still some real Men left who would do the right thing even if their sponsorship is challenged.WAKE UP AFRICANS, OPEN YOUR EYES AND GET OUT OF BED, YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE IS AT STAKE. 

  • what the hell?  why are they advertising separate 'live entertainment' when there's a WHOLE DAY of LIVE ENTERTAINMENT going on right there?  why are they having OTHER entertainment?  This is a huge piece of crap.  If you want to have a pool party with music and entertainment, take it somewhere else - not AT the PANORAMA. Hello?  The lights are on but nobody's home?  Is the word "PAN" not clear enough for you in the name of the event?  If you just wanna fete and not into pan, that's fine - so why keep your fete AT the Panorama?  It makes no sense. Unless of course the intention is to (surprise??) deliberately disrespect pan, panmen, and panwomen by saying 'eff you' right in the face of the main event.

    And further, I can't BELIEVE these people came and advertised this here - like they really think pan people are gonna like this idea?  What - they think we go buy some tickets?? LMFAO. What is wrong with these people? Do they not have a blasted CLUE?
