If you do not hear from them, do not contact them.

If interested, they will contact you to set up an appointment at their casting studio in midtown either today or tomorrow.  They will videotape you playing your pan for about a minute.  By Monday, they will select the steel pan musician who will do the commercial.  The person chosen will get paid on the day the commercial is shot.  Shooting location is midtown.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU FABULOUS PANMEN.  ACT NOW!!

This is a good opportunity to gain exposure for pan and have a local Panman get involved; also who knows what other opportunities this will lead to.

The criteria listed above is not complete. They are looking only for "dark-skinned island men." Just FYI.
