Pan Trinbago plans J’Ouvert for Panorama semis

OSWALD I believe you are on another planet, this festival is in Trinidad. You talking about clean up before panorama, never happen, never did happen, man always busting bottle all over the place non-stop, even when band practicing on the drag. Next is J'Overt not like before, no more old mas/old attire/old costuming. This attire now is like Tuesday mas. No woman want to walk the street in old clothes again. Sorry but you may be going nuts today.

MADNESS! So are people going to sweat and tire, then go somewhere and refresh themselves and come again for the party in the savannah? J'Overt is old mas/old attire/old costuming, but when you look at the Savannah Party, it's a different picture and story, freshness! Why not find a way to keep it after the final night, Carnival Sunday morning. I believe this pre Savannah J'Overt will flop. Did anyone think about cleaning up the area for the afternoon jam?

2018- Harewood’s big bombshell was a Jourvert fete.

It was intended to be on the morning of Panorama Semi-Finals from 2 AM until 10 AM. Semi finals will start at 1PM

What is the target audience? Clearly, the Veep did not think of it before. He just caught a vaps. And while it is a fundraiser in the vein of the Greens, clearly the timing is bad. It would eliminate all the people who would be preparing for the semi-finals- and those who hoped to attend the semi-finals, as well.

Beverley signs up for debt: Queen of $0.00
December 10, 2018

The politician that she is, Beverley Ramsey Moore is making the job as President of Pan Trinbago seem far more important than it really is.

Still riding the wave of being the first woman to be president of the ”World Governing Body of s steelpan, the Katzenjammers frontliner is falling into the mould set by her predecessors bringing nothing new to the table at the same time pulling in “her people” closer to fortify her position.

That's even though she reported to an Extra Ordinary General Meeting on December 5th that “Pan Trinbago is solvent, way over debt.”

That was backed up by her Treasurer Gerald Mendez: “ We have inherited hell,” Mendez stated just over a month after he seemed to be the happiest man alive, pacing the floor when his slate won the elections held on October 28th at the Mucurapo East Secondary School.’

And just about ten weeks away from the grandest international steel band festival, it is a clear case of culture shock for the new executive. And it is like they are almost in denial while they try to maintain the shell of the organization that has crumbled.

“Don't look for money outside of the eight million dollars to treat with your debt,” is what Chairman of the National Carnival Commission, Winston Gypsy Peters is reported to have telegraphed to the new Executive when he met with them.

But that was not translated to the membership on that Tuesday afternoon.

A panman told me that he suspect this idea came from the NCC, he went on to say the last practice before the Semis is important, to have to cut it short to be in the savannah for j'ouvert and come back and perform the next night is a bit much. I agree with him.

Does the SPJO involve steelbands?

  Mercer: Ah still taking meh Remedial English and Steelband Cultural Classes but I would hazard a guess that the title "Savannah Party J'Ouvert Jam" implies STEELBAND INVOLVEMENT.
  
  However, there is a BIG PT MEETING tomorrow and all of these details will be revealed. But the kind of objection bugs raised -- ah doh think THE BEV brave enjoy to jump off that cliff and land in ah empty swimming pool.

    It could involve bands that can't afford going to panorama. Me eh know, let them hold meetings and come again.

      Please go and read the SHARMAIN BABOOLAL REPORT, Mercer!!!
