...For Beverly Ramsey-Moore, manager of the Tobago-based Petrotrin KatFor Beverly Ramsey-Moore, manager of the Tobago-based Petrotrin Katzenjammers Steel Orchestra, the panmen’s call for the Diaz-led Pan Trinbago to step down from office is just.
Since becoming a member of Pan Trinbago’s executive, back in 2010, Ramsey-Moore said she quickly realised that things seemed amiss in the organisation.
“I recognised from the first few months that we were in serious problems,” she told Sunday Newsday in a no-holds-barred interview.
Ramsey-Moore said she observed that Pan Trinbago did not, in her opinion, have a structure and that it gave “absolute power” to the president.
“And because of how it was worded, any president who was a megalomaniac would have abused the authority,”

“Pan is the community’s soul.”
“It is the rhythm and the beat of the people, the movement of the people and the President has destroyed that.” Ramsey-Moore said Pan Trinbago should be disbanded and revamped to better serve the interests of the national instrument and members of its fraternity.”
After Carnival all steelband talk done…
Steelband history, this documentary from the mid-1960s shows vintage steelbands with George Goddard the first president of the Steelband Association now known as PanTrinbago. In this video clip @ 04:52 they talk about year round activities for PAN. Today, all that's left to showcase the national instrument is Panorama. Don’t tell me anything about “domestic tourism” Pan in de countryside as keeping steelband activities in the community alive. WE CAN DO BETTER.
