TTADC FAMILY DAY The Trinidad and Tobago Association will host its Family Day on August 16th 2025. PAN IN THE DMV
Many pannists and pan lovers tuned in a participated in the discussion that followed Roland’s address. The audience expressed their appreciation to Mr. Barnes for his decision to undertake the much-needed endeavor. There was a suggestion that the website article should be expanded to include contributions of other individual members of the movement in the area, as well as stories about several of the Steelband shows such as the Baltimore Panorama, the DC Pan Jamboree, and the Virginia Beach Panorama. There was some nostalgia about the fact that there is no longer a PMSO Pan Jamboree, which led to several folks suggesting that a revival be considered. This suggestion was well received, and this led the president to suggest that the External Outreach Committee could collaborate with community partners to design the next best way to bring a Steelband centric replacement event for the area. Several partners have expressed interest. There was also a discussion pertaining to the current approach to how we present, with some younger members pointing out that our method of communication is not reaching the youth, something the Communications Committee is taking a close look at. Also, it was pointed out that regarding Steelband, we must look at the market it serves, not just the immigrant Caribbean market, but the market in the US. The Guest Speaker segment of the General meeting has proven to be a viable catalyst to bring more interest to the organization, so the Association welcomes any suggestions for speakers or topics the members think would be helpful.
