To Whom it May Concern,
We, the fans of Trinidad and Tobago who are making their maiden World Cup appearance in Germany this summer were highly disappointed to be given the news that our national instrument, the steelpan would not be allowed into the match venues during games. This dissapointment has somewhat taken the sweetness out of the euphoria of our qualification, not to mention deprived us the chance of making our unique imprint on this footballing extravaganza. The beautiful steelpan, which happens to be the only instrument that was invented in the 20th century was designed to increase the convivial atmosphere for our carnival festivities, also has the capability of playing all the parts of orchestral arrangements, and by extension any musical piece. Conversely,it would be safe to presume that, the exciting ambiance of the World Cup would be greatly enhanced by the presence of this unique instrument. While we recognise the concerns that motivated this decision, one must also appreciate the fact that this steelpan, is in all respects, an instrument. One can hardly imagine a musician that holds his instrument in the regard necessary to play it well to use it for anything other than what it was designed for; to play music. We urge you to kindly reconsider the argument presented and realise that, in truth and in fact that the benefits that would be gained by all that encounter this extraordinary musical tool.
Thanking You in Advance for Your Co-operation
The Fans of The Trinidad and Tobago National Football Team (a.k.a. The Soca Warriors.)
