Calls today for major changes to be made to Pan Trinbago.

First, from renowned pan arranger/pannist, Len 'Boogsie' Sharpe, as he addressed the audience at the funeral of fellow panman and friend, Ken 'Professor' Philmore, at the South Academy for the Performing Arts in San Fernando.

Boogsie said Professor had spoken to him about supporting Beverly Ramsey Moore and her slate, Team Rebuild, for President of Pan Trinbago.

He called on panmen to heed the Professor's advice.

Boogsie recalled the Panorama Finals of 1990 when the judges gave Philmore and Fonclaire second place playing 'Pan by Storm.'

And UWI Principal, Brian Copeland, called on leaders of the steelpan fraternity to come together to ensure all aspects of the industry would be sustainably developed to the fullest potential.

Boogsie Sharpe announced that his band, Hadco Phase II Pan Groove, would play 'Pan by Storm' for Panorama next year in tribute to Philmore.
