Patrick Arnold,
President of Pan Trinbago
- on the 2005 T&T Panorama Season

Trinidad - Patrick Arnold, president of Pan Trinbago, had his
customary update for the global pan community via When Steel Talks
when he chatted and shared his thoughts on the upcoming competitions
for the 2005 Panorama season in Trinidad and Tobago. Noting that the
season was short, he spoke about the new rule which allowed bands to
choose a selection from previous years, once it was not part of their
own past panorama repertoire. Arnold noted that quite a number of
bands have opted to go with "classical calypsos" from previous years.
He believed that this would work in favor of the bands and the
competition, as pan lovers would be more familiar with the music. The
songs normally written for pan suffered from lack of airplay,
according to Arnold, and as a result, were not always well known.
