00:25Jule, I'm glad I took the opportunity to stop and talk to you on this question.
00:30Steel pan is an amazing thing that's why we've made it on National Instrument
00:35right it has finally come to be our National Instrument but the positivity
00:40you get in a pan yard is something that I've experienced now for just about two
00:47and a half decades with Renegades when I came back in 1998 this is the band I
00:51associated with and then now as the MP ten years later this is my but just the
00:56positivity that you get in a pan yard what it does for the young people
01:00provides a safe space. Minister Young said there's teamwork and discipline in
01:04a steel band as he spoke about the discussion about sponsorship of steel
01:10bands. So I am completely in love with this as I was just telling the president
01:14of Pantra and Bego they have my fullest support. At the Panorama semifinals on
