Do u envision in the future T&T / USA sending each other's Panorama winners to perform in their Panorama finals as automatic qualifier's because of their victories or as a guest artist. or do u see transportation and housing and other things as a problem ?. BLESSINGS TO ALL.
You need to be a member of When Steel Talks to add comments!

hopefully all the players can travel,a challenge for sponsors !
Lets be real here, this may look good and sound good but the money it will take could be better spent elsewhere.
If you are coming to compete in Trinidad Panorama, you should bring all your instruments etc. do not borrow anything from Trinidad and Tobago steelbands to enter the competition, else it's basically a big joke.
My response is to the international conference that ends today.
Let be clear.
How many people can say they knew that this was taking place ?
Why didn't the President of Pantrinbago who was here for the panorama, not do interviews on let's say when steel talks to discuss the all so important conference?
To establish a conference like this in a place as they did requires months of preparation and planning. How come we never heard about this before?
Maybe it's me, maybe I'm the one and only person in New York that didn't know about this conference. You know what? Here is a news flash, even Executive members of Pantrinbago weren't aware of this international conference.
WHAT IS PANTRINBAGO'S AGENDA?
Not what is listed. WHAT REALLY IS THEIR AGENGA? NO LET ME REFRASE THE QUESTION. WHAT IS KEITH DIAZ'S AGENGA?
Let's examine some facts. Prime Minster Rowley made it very clear, that the Government of Trinidad & Tobago will no longer be blindly financing Pantrinbago, which means they have to go out into, the not only the country of Trinidad & Tobago but the WORLD to get the money they need to produce the events they put on in Trinidad & Tobago.
THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!
When I was Chairperson of USSA, I reached out to Mr. Diaz and the office of Pantrinbago numerous times to establish dialog about a trans-ocean collaboration. Do you know how many responses I received? NONE!!!
In 2011 before my trip to Trinidad for the carnival, I sent an e-mail informing Mr. Diaz that I would be there and would like to sit when he had the time to discuss issues pertaining to the two organizations, again no response. ( I have all my letters to verify my claim)
Now for argument sake, it's say he didn't personally like me, that in it self is no legitimate reason.
PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS.
Now at this point in time my concern living here in New York, is the state of the Steel Band here and what do we do right now to start fixing it, not the state of Pantrinbago in relation to their revelation that they now have to go out and actively raise the funds needed to conduct their programs. At this time we must be selfish, first fix our problem, then when that is done try to assist outside entities.
Look I know there is a point where globally we are connected, but right now here in New York we must fix our problem, that has to be done by us not Diaz
. We know the laws, we know the procedures, we know the people, we know the system, the landscape and we most of all WILL SUFFER MOST IF WE DON'T FIX THIS.
Don't worry Mr. Marcelle the fearless leader of Pan Trinbago will solve all of New Yorks pan problems. He is an absolutely brilliant fellow. He just needs to borrow some money from NY to pay the Trinidad & Tobago players for panorama 2016. And 2017 while he at it.
bugs
NY hold on to your money doh even let Diaz near the piggy bank(petty cash) lol.
Bugs: That is a nice post from Mr. Marcelle. He even remember that Rowley promise to SHORT CHANGE Diaz for Panorama 2017. Make sure you wear a concussion-free helmet the next time you go to Denver to quarterback so that you could observe Diaz with clear vision when you get back to New York.
