Pan Trinbago cancels Pan Is Beautiful XII

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Pan Trinbago has announced its decision to indefinitely postpone the Trinidad & Tobago National Steelband Music Festival (Pan Is Beautiful XII).

While agonizing over the inconvenience, emotional distress and financial loss to the membership, Pan Trinbago Inc. T.C. does not have the necessary sponsorship to support such an initiative.

According to Richard Forteau, Chair of the Festival Committee: “In consideration of the disadvantaged position into which the majority of the participating bands have been placed with the curtailed practice hours etc., added to which, the difficulties being experienced to obtain an alternative date for the present venue (NAPA) for the Finals, or even an alternative venue during the remaining months of the year, have forced the decision by Pan Trinbago’s executive to indefinitely postpone the Festival - Pan Is Beautiful XII.”

“Added to the above, the extension of the State of Emergency to December 2011 by our Government, together with the limited funding at this point in time, has placed the Central Executive and Festival Committee in a position where there was no alternative to the very necessary decision.”

“The Executive of Pan Trinbago and the Festival Committee sincerely apologize to the registered participants and to the membership, as well as the would-be Festival audience/patrons. We shall, however, continue to pursue other options and potentials, and it is our intention to deliver a successful event with all the glory of former years in the very near future.”

Re-imbursement of Registration Fees will be paid at Pan Trinbago’s Head Office, Victoria Park Suites, 14-17 Park Street, Port of Spain, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
