The 2015 New York Panorama season will go down as one of the most challenging and difficult ever experienced by the New York steel orchestra franchises. The devil was working overtime on every aspect of this season's Panorama check list and essentials. They, the steel orchestras, suffered through and caught much hell. All the bands were a little punch drunk from all the blows they received both externally and internally in the last few weeks leading up to the competition. In fact the season was so difficult it is amazing so many orchestras made it to the stage Panorama night. An incredible achievement by both players and management. A testament to their fortitude and love of culture. And in the final analysis some outstanding music was created.

Bugs....sigh...some things never change....that's all I'm gonna say.
The battered wife syndrome that New York panmen have going with WIADCA needs to end immediately. Pan people need to start to talk to the sponsors of labor day activities directly for themselves. The trickle down economics that sponsors are participating in does not work. In fact they are supporting abuse of the pan community and the youth. There is nothing legitimate about WIADCA when it comes to pan. Time for the governor to step in. NY Pan don't need WIADCA.
