and regard us with respect.
Please, any input would be helpful to exactly how this whole thing boils down. i am outraged that my band, consisting of many VERY talented musicians could be so put down for racism, and old philosophies.
respectfully yours

hey, so I am a pan player from Maine, USA, and I have been performing with a sixty piece steelband, which travels into Montreal every year, for a small panorama (very small). We have recentl;y set our sights to Toronto Caribana and Pan Alive competition. However, when we asked the Caribana committee, they became very protective, and closed, claiming 'they'd think about it'. Since then, a rule has been made that NO out of country band's may compete.
now, this problem may be very trivial, or much more complex politically, but the band I play with is dominantly white, and frankly, I am hoping to death that it has NOT come down to our race. When our arranger traveled in Trinidad, everyone was very open to the idea, and encouraged the U.S, and other nationalities playing pan. Since the steelband programs began in the late seventies, early eighties, Jit Samaroo and the Samaroo jets, along with Amrit Samaroo and Steel sensation, have performed joint dances with the Maine Steelbands,
