Panpodium’s 25th Anniversary Poem!

Panpodium’s 25th Anniversary!

In ninety-nine, a vision clear,

Robbie's dream began to steer.

Panpodium rose, with purpose grand,

To spread the steelpan 'cross the land.

A quarter century now has passed,

Since Robbie's passion, bold and vast,

Brought steelpan's sound to every ear,

From distant shores to places near.

With digital touch and global flair,

Panpodium's message fills the air.

From UK's heart, the rhythm flows,

To every place where music grows.

Labor of love, the panmen's pride,

Through Panpodium, far and wide.

A bridge of sound, a cultural light,

Turning silence into night

Into nights so bright.

From classrooms dense with steelpan's ring,

To stages where its praises sing,

Robbie's vision, bold and true,

Made the world see something new.

Virgin lands now feel the beat,

Steelpan's call, so pure and sweet.

Twenty-five years of spreading cheer,

Panpodium’s legacy, held dear.

Let us celebrate this journey grand,

The digital pulse, the guiding hand.

For in each note, each rhythm's dance,

Lies Robbie's dream, his lasting trance.
