Monday Morning Quarterback http://www.panonthenet.com/mailout/08.10.04.htm |

Every year pan enthusiasts are held hostage and tortured by the proverbial "terrorists" known as audio engineers at the NY panorama. This is done partially through incompetence and ignorance, but fully through indifference. This is compounded by the unconcerned manner and consistent contempt the event promoters have demonstrated for the steelpan constituents over the past years. The great works of the master steelpan tuners: Kellman, Harrigin, Jack, Worrell and others - are rendered almost obsolete by the butchering of the sound by the audio engineers. Unfortunately, the event will never rise to the next level (mass mainstream appeal) - without the perfection of the sound... Try watching a beautifully shot video that has bad sound. It can't be done. You will turn off the video no matter how great the images are...
Luckily the large bands have been able to sometimes get past the
engineers, because of their sheer size, but not without coloration and
compromise. Unfortunately the small bands have been massacred over
the years and suffered much... WST

New
York Panorama Champions, Pantonic Steel Orchestra was one of the featured
performers at the Trinidad and Tobago Days Festival 2004. The event
is an annual outdoor festival which is organized by the Trinidad and
Tobago Association of Baltimore, and takes place in Baltimore, Maryland,
USA.
Never one to show up only when there
is action, cameras
and lights on - With less than a month to go before the New York
steelband panorama, New York city mayoral candidate Councilman Charles Barron visited
the new home of Pantonic Steel Orchestra to get a first-hand view of the
extreme conditions and problems the music organizations go through every
year in preparation for the annual competition.
le
the New York steelband community can exhibit rivalry and tribal protectionism
among themselves, the support for Mr. Goddard was universal.
Performing were Despers USA, Steel Sensation and Marsicans, for whom Goddard
is arranging their 2004 Panorama selection "Bonnie
& Clyde." A virtual who's who of New York pan was present at
the resoundingly successful Sunday evening affair at Marsican's pan yard.
Pan
Sonatas again held its annual popular street fair in Brooklyn, New York.
Pan fans chimed in from everywhere. Performers included Crossfire,
Marsicans, Harmony, CASYM and Sonatas.
