The National Panorama SemiFinals
Out of a possible total of 28 steelbands that could appear in competition for this show, a reasonable expectation is that a good number of the National Panorama SemiFinalists will have also qualified for the Pan in the 21st Century competition. This eventuality is expected to reduce the number of bands appearing overall. If only half of the National Panorama SemiFinalists, 8 say, also qualify for the Pan in the 21st Century competition; then a total of 20 bands could be expected to appear in this show. Thus the early start to the show. The Grand Stand, Queens Park Savannah, Port of Spain, Trinidad. |

Wednesday 30th August 2000 About 07:30 pm PAN MONTH ACTIVITY |
Steelbands and Calypso Pan Trinbago and TUCO join forces on The Promenade. Steelbands Southern Marines Steelband Foundation, Trinmar Hatters and Mount Moriah Pan Movement are expected to perform together with about 7 members from TUCO. Band-Stand, Harris Promenade, San Fernando, Trinidad. In the event Trinmar Hatters did not appear having a transport hitch. The show itself was under-mined by rain previous to the event; was under-marketed and under-attended with a spectator base of around 50 at its heighest. From under their tents; the Southern Marines Steelband Foundation - 21 members - started the show just before 09:00 pm, with a performance of the National Anthem. After a short set, Mount Moriah Pan Movement - 14 members - took the lead. TUCO members, out of their Kaiso ShowKase group, operating from the band-stand presented a spirited first set performed respectively by CB, Trevvy, Ras Commander and ending with El Drago; with Natural as a sparkling MC. The steelbands then did their second rounds followed again by the Kaiso ShowKase's las-lap performed by Kintie, Natural and Lennox Valentine; all very entertaining. Somewhere in all of that; pannist Makesi (Tenor) of the SMSF, ramajayed in accompaniment to one of the calypsonians. The steelbands again did a rounds, with Mount Moriah starting this time, and finishing with a strong set from the Marines. There was a lot of wonderful music here that unfortunately a lot of people missed. |

| CITY of San Fernando 12th Anniversary Celebrations |
||||||||
| Saturday 18th November 2000 06:00 pm - till - 04:00 am |
San Fernando City Day 2000 San Fernando City Corporation celebrates its City Day in colabreration with World Steelband Music Festival 2000 champions TCL Group Skiffle Bunch. Skinner Park, San Fernando, Trinidad. A VICTORY EXTRAVAGANZA event is planned to take place at Skinner Park, in an all night celebration that is to include, together with the invited steelbands, flavours of other cultural pursuits that include Calypso, Soca, Chutney and Indian Dance; with an added reminder to the coming seasons' indulgence of Parang. The steelbands, which will no doubt be showing their Christmas repertoires, will also be showing their support for Skiffle Bunches' remarkable success in winning the Orchestra category of the World Steelband Music Festival 2000 for Trinidad and Tobago. The event, organised and named by the management of Skiffle Bunch, is being held with the support of the San Fernando City Corporation. The City is only to pleased to be able to add to its 12th Anniversary celebrations an event, undoubtedly momentous in its own right, but one that also celebrates the return to the region of a strength in Pan that has been absent for nearly a decade; when Fonclaire was last thrice knocking on Panoramas door in 1989, '90 and '91. Performers expected at this event include DJ Birch, The Shiv Shakti Dancers, members of TUCO South & Central, Stalin, Roy Cape, La Divina Pastora and the steelbands San City Steel Symphony, Woodbrook Playboyz, Exodus, TCL Group Skiffle Bunch, WITCO Desperadoes, Petrotrin Phase II Pan Grove and Trinmar Hatters; all in a mix. Tickets: LADIES: FREE, MEN: TT$5.00 IN THE EVENT Trinmar Hatters start the show at around 09:20 pm. Although jibed for the late start; other participant events anticipated by the organisers did not materialise, and Hatters took to the stage when told, albeit with a 20 minute delay. Also playing for about an hour each; the show continued with sets respectively from Exodus, Petrotrin Phase II Pan Grove and WITCO Desperadoes. These were followed, in the early morning hours, by a driving Roy Cape presentation which also included Stalin in the line up. The San Fernando City Day show was well attended, but developed to display two historic ironies. Formulated to celebrate the TCL Group Skiffle Bunch win at The World Steelband Music Festival 2000; the Bunch band had itself practised meticulously to present what was to be the final item of the show. The late running of the show, with Cape ending at around 03:30 am, precluded Skiffle from making their appearance. The Trinidad segment of The World Steelband Music Festival 2000 had itself displayed a decidedly myopic lack of festival fervour over its 2 week furlough. This was due mainly to its Festival/Panorama paranoid format; that forgot or miscomprehended the meaning of festival or a festive brake. This evenings show, at Skinner Park, had demonstrated the closest thing to a true Steelband Music Festival, and very sadly, there had been no World steelbands here to share and enjoy it. |

| INDUCTION The Board & HQ of the NSO of T&T |
||||||||
| Tuesday 21st November 2000 10:00 am |
Induction and Opening at NSO HQ The National Steel Orchestra board and building is formally launched. HQ, 13 - 14 Nelson Street, Port of Spain, Trinidad. THE CULMUNATION of the initial stage of an on going project, many years in the making, was the official opening of the Head Quarters of the National Steel Orchestra of Trinidad and Tobago on Nelson Street, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Together with this opening ceremony was the formal induction of the NSO board members; those who are to manage the affairs of the band over the next three years. The project is under the patronage of The Ministry of Culture and Gender Affairs, which here took the time to officially pass on the responsibility of running the NSO to a selected board. The NSO has been a functioning band for some years and has been operating through a caretaker committee. The Minister Senator Dr Daphnie Phillips presented Dr Dawn Batson - Chairperson of the new board, Mr Pat McNiele, Mr Kelvin Scoone, Mr Ian Belgrave, Mr Rennison Quashie, Mr Richard Forteau and Mr Auburn Wiltshire (en absentia) their Instruments of Appointment and welcomed them as the first Members of the new board at this formal Induction ceremony. Minister Phillips received a gift of a clock from arranger Edward Wade as a thank-you token of gratitude for the Ministries support with this project. The Minister then went on to officially open the building at a later ribbon cutting ceremony. Invited guests, members of the band and their families, and representatives from other steelbands were present to witness the proceedings in an upper hall of the new NSO building. Eloquently chaired by Mrs Hazel Elcock-Ifill, a communications officer for the Ministry; the proceedings were opened by the Anthem on pan from 2 members of the NSO, and a universal prayer from Brother Nobel Kahn. At the table, together with the Minister; were Mr Eugine Joseph - Cultural Officer 3 - representing the admissibly detained Director of Culture Mr Mungal Patasar; Mr Richard Forteau - Secretary Pan Trinbago & Manager Courts Laventille Sound Specialists - representing the admissibly detained President of Pan Trinbago Mr Patrick Arnold; Dr Dawn Batson - NSO; and guest speakers/observers Mr Sydney Gallop - First President of the National Association of Trinidad and Tobago Steelbandsmen (later to become Pan Trinbago) and champion to the campaign of raising funds for Operation Britain, the effort that sent the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra (TASPO-1) to the Festival of Britain in 1951; and Mr Sterling Betancourt - Pan tuner, an original member of TASPO-1 (to which the NSO now represents the third analogue and a 50 year antecedent) and one who became one of the main purveyors of the culture of pan to the United Kingdom, and later to Denmark and Switzerland. [ It would be safe to say that mainly through the effects of Sterling's early influences, but together with others also; the product of years of development had resulted in our being able to experience the music of a steelband out of Switzerland, called PANch 2000, at the recent WSMF 2000 - eEd ] IN TURN, encouraging words were addressed to the band and to those present by Mr Joseph, Mr Forteau, Mr Betancourt and Mr Gallop. Mr Gallop's remarks drew strong applause as he reminded all that much had changed for the better, since that era of chance incarceration of panmen. When, as enforced by the police for a society that was intolerant to the pan, to "do your time" became an burdensome obligation to those adherents of what was then perceived as a "noisy instrument". He further remonstrated to the band members that they must not forget their duty to correctly represent this instrument that had flourished from beneath "the breadfruit and fig tree", and that was to the people of our nation, "God given". In a short musical interlude on tenor and double second, two band members played John Lennon's Imagine. Fitfully chosen, the theme Imagine featured large in the Ministers address that followed, as she outlined the project that involved the development of the NSO and its 30 players. Thereafter the instruments of appointment were presented to the new board; and Dr Batson rose in thankful reply. Token gifts were then presented to representatives of a number of institutions that had, in particular, assisted the NSO through to its realisation. The St Dominiques Orphanage, Prestige Holdings, The National Gas Company, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Ministry of Social and Community Development, Pan Trinbago; and the steelbands Express 21, Carib Tokyo and Exodus; were all acknowledged. The party then moved downstairs for the ribbon-cutting and blessing of the building, then out to the back court-yard for lunch time refreshments; and to hear the band play, which it did very well for about half an hour. Players of the National Steel Orchestra of T&T are drawn from the steelbands; Trinidad All Stars, Arima Angel Harps, Tropical Angel Harps, WITCO Desperadoes, Exodus, Fonclaire, Solo Harmonites, La Romain Super Vibes Pan Movement, Merrytones, Our Boys, Point Fortin New Creations, Potential Symphony, TCL Group Skiffle Bunch and the Southern Marines Steelband Foundation. |
