Well done guys ... a very well thought out and meaningful prize. It will outlive any cash prize. That way the recipient will soon be reading big scores as music literacy has to be the way forward for the next generation of pannists. The other islands, including Pandom, (T&T) ought to take note and follow suit. Thanks Scotia Bank for this and also for your contribution to Pan Alive in Canada.
