VOICES FOR THE PAN

As should happen always, after the ICP Pan Storm in Trinidad, we must all sit now, reflect and consciously access all the challenges, and mishaps which occurred in the last week, so that we can and must correct these mistakes and oversights to use as foundation to build on future ICPs.

As we look inwards, what are some of the issues we would like to see addressed and improved on come ICP 2018?

Although the ICP conference and Panorama appears to be a great success for now, and many congratulations to Pan Trinbago on this initiative, there are also many areas of concern we in the fraternity can and must address here in the Mecca.

Are we satisfied that we are the very best we can be in Trinidad and Tobago to present another ICP conference and Panorama in the not too distant future?

What say you??

  • Excellent effort by Pan Trinbago. It seems that it matters not what they do. Damn if you ....and damn if you.... Don't fill in the blanks, it'd be embarrassing.

    The results??????Embarrassing too!!!!!

    Congrats to BSO.

  • The LEVEL of PROFESSIONALISM is NOT there…this was an event that was more than TWO years in the making… Nothing has been learned from past experiences, don’t expect much in the future.

    Scrambling to save face in the end is what you do when you're playing with a “pick-up” side. No discipline when it comes to planning and organizing. You just don't make the rules as you go along. As a WORLD GOVERNING BODY its expected the rules are already established. Does the membership have a say or consulted in how these rules get created??? 

    Time to put your house in order before telling anyone else to get theirs in order.

  • There are a lot of things that are needed by next ICP.

    (1) Standardized Pan, (2) Fix the Savannah for better visibility, (3) Fix Pan trinbago website to be more user friendly, (4) Have a General Election,

  • I say that DIAZ mamaguy the people with a CONFERENCE and TRINIDAD PANORAMA win and everybody jumping on the DIAZ bandwagon now. Years now I am telling everybody what a great and conniving politician this man is and everybody doubt me. Now a little PANORAMA in AUGUST with FIFTEEN MILLION (free government money) and at least FIVE MILLION in sponsor fees -- who could go wrong in any month of the year? -- he have everybody brain tie up. I hope you, of all people, did not put on the rose-colored glasses.

    We need to see the SIGNUPS from the WACK PPV. I do and will always believe that culturing that EX-PAT audience could bring FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE and PROFITS to LOCAL SHOWS. Instead of always begging the government to FUND THE NEXT PROJECT and every penny disappears after the show.

    I have to give credit to WACK for their initiative with that PPV. They are on the right road. As far as I am concerned I got a $30.00 show for $9.99 and I was satisfied with the  PRODUCT. I enjoyed the show; the results were DEPRESSING.

    • Claude, my PPV was worth 2.50$ I kept saying the stream will get better but it never did.

  • I think too much emphasis ison the STEELPAN at the expense of the STEELBAND, the steelband in the Mecca is not a stage side, lets find ways to make the steelband active once more, especially in carnival.

    There is an urgent need to standardize the pans,we had proof of that with this panorama.

    I heard one arranger complain about how  bands draw for their order of appearance

    Let the bands arrange new music this way you can limit arrangers to 1 or 2 bands..
