"Great experience, great pan music at the Pan Yard. A Pan Yard is an enclosed area in which sits the musical instruments of the 21st Century, generally with sufficient space for spectators and supporters to relax, sitting or standing, to listen to highly skilled panmen and women play and practice the songs or tunes played at the Panorama competition at the Queen's Park Savannah."
