Pan Trinbago president Keith Diaz said this week that his organisation is ready for Carnival 2015. “We have already submitted plans to the NCC, since the end of March. Pan Trinbago ain’t sticking. We are aware that funding for Carnival is dependent on the national budget to be read in the next few months, so we are not waiting,” he said.
“In fact, Pan Trinbago closed registration for Panorama 2015 on March 20, so no bands can come after this and wish to be in the competition.”
The Pan Trinbago “wish list” includes an increase in prize money and enhanced programming of its productions. Diaz said the Grand Stand and The Greens would be retained as these facilities are very popular amongst pan lovers. He said: “Pan Trinbago is about the strongest of all the NCC SIGs, especially as we are the only one consistently filling both the North and Grand Stands with our shows.”
Come Carnival, Diaz said that a special effort will be made in producing the organisation’s Groovy Soca competition. He added: “Pan Trinbago is also pulling out all stops to ensure that more steelbands produce mas on the road. Given All Stars success this year in winning the Band of the Year title the pan fraternity has been revitalised and is energised and focused on regaining its rightful place in mas on the road for 2015.”

ok - but when are they going to satisfy their outstanding debts to the Pan fraternity?
Real boldface people. Gangstas don't pay debts. We are dealing with a very unsophisticated bully mentality.

Bugs,
I am waiting for the other video where the cops start checking out those hill side houses and going behind the walls of those gated communities, let the REAL war on crime begin.
Real Talk Cecil...
Dana was a person who like pan. WST reported that she carried Birdsong's flag for panorama. Dias should be a leader and shut Panorama, the Greens and he Pool down for 2015.
And yes we need the real war on crime to start.

Wow! What a difference the year of election brings
Hollis, Pan Trinbago and the Prime Minister should announce that Panorama and Carnival 2015 is cancelled unless the murder of Dana Seetahal is solved.
