Serious problems with Pantrinbago, Panorama and the outstanding monies owed to Pan Players in 2016, this is 2017 and as Merchant said a long ago Pan in danger and Merrytonestothebone said ALL STARS statement is confusing, ALL STARS said preparation for Carnival 2017 begins 3rd Jan 2017 at the panyard and our Panorama arranger for 2017 is Leon smooth Edwards and they will be participating in Carnival activities as usual. Merrytonestothebone commented on Panorama and not the Carnival activities as mention. by saying A A Dane Gulston said at the meeting on 28th no Panorama if 2016 monies not paid and how come he could not convince ALL STARS faithful to boycott and wondered if he playing up front as usual, and is ALL STARS in favor of panorama at any cost? or the Pandrome nonsense or support the proposed picket line also. I am sure.if there is a Panorama 2017 Merrytonestothebones and all other arrangers will be arranging for their bands and if there is no Panorama for the next ten years ALL STARS, DESPERS, EXODUS and a few other Steel Orchestras will be on the road with their Mas Presentations and MTTB will have nothing to complained about. Lets support the Pan players In their quest to move Pan forward. NUFF SAID BLESSINGS AND RESPECT TO ALL HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

Merrytonestothebone......Gulston arranges for City Sun Valley in the single pan category and speaks on their behalf as well as his personal views.
Gerard...I rest my case...clearly cockroach have no business even commenting on fowl party...
Another point of view, are members of sponsored steelbands allowed to revolt or challenge established procedures?
Corporate Social Responsibility…
Massy the corporate branding…
Massy “Trinidad All Stars” is recognized for its groundbreaking position within the steelband movement through its members, who have carried the vibrant culture of Trinidad and Tobago around the world.

Good Point, odw. Would you bite the hand that feeds?
Claude...if we Pan people not careful, Panorama could follow the same fate as Easter Island and its inhabitants in the South Pacific .... We want to reap, reap, reap...doh sow to ensure life for who coming tomorrow...the same way that society died out due to de-forestation and warring and what-have-you...is the the way Panorama could die if we not careful...and I didn't make up this story...
What I doing picking a bone with All Stars or Dane...Dane Gulston is on record (video) as saying no payment no Pan on the road for Carnival...No Panorama...All Stars is on record as saying "we goin' to Panorama"...Was Dane speaking for All Stars or himself?...I only make a querry...that is all...What I do wrong now?...
With all the "serious problems with outstanding monies....yuh feel Pan Trinbago doh owe me too?".... I “beat pan” for the same $1,000.00 too…The thing is I am not afraid to call a spade a spade and given the mire we in at present Pan Trinbago have no business trying to host Panorama this year…Nobody should even have to tell them that…I have been saying that for weeks now....
It seems that anytime anyone dare criticize certain bands they should be cast in the pit of fire...but that is yours and anybodyelse business...I am very happy that you read every word I typed...Read this too...THE SKULLDUGERY AND ANYHOWNESS THAT PANORAMA HAS BECOME IS WHAT CERTAIN PEOPLE ARE TRYING VEHEMENTLY TO DEFEND, HENCE THE UPROAR…And convey that message to who talking the loudest…In the 80’ when Boogie was arranging for six and more bands, were you saying anything about that?…Was that a problem?…How come yuh not talking about the prostitution of playing with more than one band, even within the same category which is one of the main contributors to de present sorefoot in Panorama….But I make a simple observation re: All Stars and yuh vex?…
I know of no other COMPETITION where once can prepare more than one team to vie against each other, moreso where one can “REPRESENT MORE THAN ONE TEAM AGAINST THE OTHER”…There are voices on this discussion board that will disagree, but that is their right so to do too…
If you think that all who screaming at the top of they voice now screaming for Panmen and woman alone, think again...Dey screaming because dey bread and butter will be affected if there is no Panorama…
Ah hope yuh goin’ and march tomorrow too...I won't be there....As I said more than once "putting plaster on sorefoot doh make it better"...

Duvone came out hard against Pan Trinbago and he Renegades arranger. Renegades said they going to Panorama too. Boogsie the Boss and arranger came out hard against Pan Trinbago yesterday and said no Panorama. It was his idea to march on Pan Trinbago's headquarters.
As players dem fellas say the executive board of PT has to go
Bugs you self...you don't have to preach to the converted here...I just want to know what I say so wrong that this Earl Richards feel he could make me out (according to them young people) ...To me this is a simple matter...If you belong to a high profile organization be careful what statements yuh make in public ...I also wonder if the gentleman in question hadn't made his public remarks, if All Stars would have felt moved to advise the public that it was business as usual with the band for Carnival 2017...
Boi, like Goat bite pan people, they keep getting in each others way.

All Stars would not have released that statement if their high profile player was not involved.
All Stars has just as much if not more invested in their Mas as Panorama. A lot of people are coming from overseas and even crossing band lines to play Sailor Mas with All Stars. They are one of the few bands that has found continued relevance with the mature crowd.
Now as for why Earl picked on you while Rolly Polly is loose - I don't know. Claude may have put him up to it.
