When Steel Talks New York Panorama 2006 |
||||||
|
I truly am proud of your website and at times wonder, are
there others of this nature existing -- in the Middle East,
the African continent, Yugoslavia, Turks and Caicos, on the
moon?
Where has pan reached? And why are there still this
abundance of problems attached in the 21st century, even in
"mecca" of pan -- T&T?
As a human and social development guidance counselor, motivational speaker and pan consultant, managing my own improvement consultancy company -- The Platinum Mind -- for twenty-one months now, in Trinidad, I am very concerned and take special interest in lifestyle and behaviour. A stickler for constant and speedy improvement.
In my book, no longer is there room for change not being
able to happen overnight.
And when is overnight?
Over a period of five decades for some and some, it seems to
me, an eternity.
"Girl, yuh cyah change de world. "Yuh ent see, yuh
cyah straighten dem bent trees? "Dey cyah change.
"Pan cyah reach nowhere."
All balderdash, in my book.
Firstly, "can't" never factors in my head, neither does the
"bent trees" syndrome.
Those are ingredients to the recipes of SURRENDER,
STAGNATION and FAILURE.
So as usual, I read and enjoyed. And my comments
are as follows.
Kudos for the reporting system and the quality.
Significantly improved since having asked me to be the
point-person in T&T year before to provide feedback on our
Panorama activities. But now establishing my company
and lack of cooperation from respective steelband
management did not permit me the time of day to deliver.
I see it starts with a devil and yes, the "Devil" take toll,
but we create...
Orchestras
Let ADLIB know, nothing is wrong.
These are the challenges that must be faced and overcome
and, burdens to bear to ensure improvement. But more
importantly, what is each of their understanding of what is
expected of each of them in helping with their improvement
process.
All hats off to CASYM, but is each one or
anyone enjoying financial freedom through the art form?
That should be addressed.
As a group, maybe the core-group, how do they hope to
achieve that status without total dependency on the State?
What is their understanding of the regimens and disciplines
attached to professional and financially successful pannist?
CROSSFIRE. I love the approach.
"... life after Panorama" and there must be life after
Carnival as well.
Consider an outbreak of some kind and the Carnival season is
cancelled, then what?
 PANTONIC:
Is this the final night performance picture? If so,
kindly advise them that as stars/icons, marketing an art
form, themselves, a community; investors love to invest in
total quality. As such, uniformity, oneness or
sameness -- image, plays an integral role in building
reputation.
Quality breathes quality.
I love the name SESAME FLYERS.
This name can do wonders for the band and the community in
which it resides, if only they could understand its
potential. Take a page out of Sesame Street and create
their own yearly community educational steelpan project
aimed at significantly improving lives and behavior of young
people within the vicinity of the pan theatre. Let
them know there must be "life after Panorama".
SONATAS - despite the inefficient sound
system, they still emerged second place in the competition.
What did the judges hear?
WIS. Can we source a female drummer to
complete the picture? And, what will the women think
of a line of designer Pan underpants/briefs for men aimed at
helping encourage safe sex, with the tag line -
Taking care of our sticks, use the right rubbers.
THERE IS LIFE AND PAN AFTER PANORAMA/CARNIVAL
In the event that during the post mortem all failed areas
did not derive a solution. I thought I should assist.
The 'joke" ".... a matter of opinion" in my view speaks
to a mind that clearly has no inclination to move forward. A
body that should be promptly removed from the event.
The Michael's don't have it?
To ease the strain on the two Michaels, who were seen
running back and forth ensuring things were in place, should
it be assumed that they do not have a team to spread the
responsibility? As the saying goes: Expect the
unexpected, a bit of pro-activity, should one Michael faint
or have an emergency that creates a sudden void, then what?
Pertaining to the timing of the show. I also
think it was done in excellent time --- help T&T!
Fantastic, Keep it up. You can only go from strength to
strength.
