I could see how easy it is for KEITH DIAZ and RICHARD FORTEAU to skim MILLIONS off the top!!! But I want SOMEBODY to explain to me and the FORUM what GREAT PROFITS come to STEELBANDS from participating in the PANORAMA. Outside of the BIG 5 (over time -- with regular prize money and sponsors) it just seems like it might be a CONSTANT SCRAMBLE to run a STEELBAND in the MECCA.
Aquil Arrindell has a band! And Gregory Lindsay a band! And merrytonestothebone has a band! These are all regular posters on the forum and they don't sound like they reaped any GRAND PROFITS from PANORAMA.

Is my turn. I believe the truck drivers is making a serious niche for themselves in the panorama business and drastically eating away the pan-man funds. I am also cocksure they will form a association in the near future and demand more money for transporting pans. Now remember this association has nothing to do with, arranging pan music, etc. So they will basically they will the shots for all the steel-bands in Trinidad and Tobago, Similar but more potent than what the current DJ's are doing to pan.
