I wonder if Pantrinbago knows the difficulty it puts many panjumbies through when it brings out a late Panorama schedule. While I compliment Pantrinbago for taking my advice and finally putting up a Panorama schedule, I hope that Pantrinbago publish its schedule in April beginning 2011.

Pantrinbago must take its role seriously and be early with its Panorama schedule. In this age of the internet it is so easy to schedule an event.

The main reason for being early with the Panorama schedule is that the later you book to travel the more it costs. many panjumbies, like me, book their flight as early as April to get a cheap price.

THEREFORE, IT IS IMPROTANT THAT PANTRIBAGO PUT UP THE PANORAMA SCHEDULE AS EARLY AS APRIL. I hope to see that change in 2011. Thanks guys.

Funny, your concerns with the late schedule have noting to do with all the local panists who busting they arse for weeks. So Pan Trinbago will improve if it tends to the needs of the foreign-based? Khalick, I love you, but sometimes, man, I am not quite sure what or who you really representing.

Excellent - it is certainly a pleasure to see the new board has considered visitors and put the Medium and Large Bands National Finals back on the same night. Thank you and keep up the good work

. Wonderful, that the trackies will be able to sit and enjoy as well, although historically they like to chip and visit every band

I wish thatPantrinbago would respond when a letter is addressed to them. What is the use of having this space for comments when Pantrinbago remians silent. Come on guys respond so that panjumbies will know that you are listening. Tell Keith that I will see him for carnival.

Still holding your breath for that response, buddy? I'm also glad to see that you're on "first name basis" with the CEO.

wher can a non local buy tickets, there should be an option to buy tickets online for people like me.

This schedule is a wonderful thing. Now all I want Pan Trinbago to do is put the tickets on sale on the MONDAY before the finals so there will not be the mad rush it usually ends up to be when you all put the tickets on sale on the day before the finals. Please take heed....PUHLEEZE!!!

Is there a reason why the person called Khalick will just NOT quit? Bloody hell- when Arnold was there, you had no way of continuously digging at Pantrinbago online. And it is essentially the same people in the same positions, and working within the same constraints - and right now, under the normal pressure.

Why are you so full of yourself, and your own importance like you are calling the shots - that you will not give them time to breathe? Pan Trinbago doesn't exactly inspire administrative confidence, and they aren't exactly known for getting things done the correct way all the time, but damn - Mr. Khalick - you do love the sound of your own goddam voice - barking at people!!

To Pantrinbago - Ignore this fool for now - and try to get yourselves together and get through this season, but do be prepared for the asskicking that is sure to come your way after the season.

Kenneth T, my criticisms of Pantrinbago is to make them a much more efficient organization. Remember, Pantrinabgo is the World Governing Body for Pan. So, I hol dthem to the highest dtandard because I want them to succeed. never mind your name calling. we al love pan. But, pantrinbago must be brought into the 21st century kicking and screaming.

One of the weaknesses of our culture is that people don't like you to critisize but follow blindly. And, that leads to bad blood because people are taught to keep their thoughts to themselves.

Not me. When I support an organization I don't gibe them a chance to breathe. Why, because development takes discipline and responses to your critics who has your best interest at heart. It is because of my breathing on Pantrinbago that we now have a panorama schedule and a blog. There is more to come but it takes progging. See you in the savannah Kenneth.

I agree with Khalick. If Pantrinbago is to improve we have to call it like it is. For too long people bad talk Pantrinbago because this one don't like that one but without substance. It is refreshing to hear a critical but honest voice on this blog. We need more Khalicks.

I just read in a Trinbago newspaper that someone wants Pantrinbago to run a Bar for Panorama to raise funds. While I do not confdoen alcohol drinking I think it is a good idea. everyone knows that the Bar is what makes the real money in any music activity. So, Pantrinbago respond as to whethere you can accomplish this for Panorama.
