BAS’s media machinery carries on its mission in getting the laborious work performed by pannists, arrangers, tuners and management promoted globally to its world audience. The struggle of recognition for the instrument and all involved with this art form has been a long and difficult journey that still has a long way to go.  2008 will see further BAS’s initiatives being firmly implemented in the interest of the continued development of the art. Pan Podium magazine and website continue to keep abreast of changes ensuring that they are both effective, efficient and maintain its status as a world leader in its field. Pan Podium continues to work closely with our global media partners to ensure that we continue to aspire and achieve in unity. Pan 4 Life!
