  • I cant understand how Skiffle came second. I had them second to last, after listening to the panorama finals twice.

    • skiffle deserved that second, lets look at the year despers won they had a clear victoria this year they was shaky final night, 

  • Well South band Pan Elders continue to dominate the Medium category and it is sweet for them. Coffee Street. San Fernando is hot with the Children Carnival Parade and celebrating winning bands Golden Hands in Small , Pan Elders in Medium and SKIFFLE the runner up in Large. Congrats to Duvone Stewart and Renegades on their victory. I am very happy for Duvone. 

  • It's just curious the 10-11 point spread in by the winners in both categories from prelims to final, It just seems deliberate and orchestrated. Plus in an interview this year, the Prime Minister made a comment about steel band players toiling for hours only to win by half a point. Well this year there were no half points awarded on final night, if there was any I missed it. How can ordinary citizens trust our judges to be fair and not depend on popularity of tune, if you didn't win in X amount of years, if history could be created, who the arranger is or who is your sponsor? Probably we should do like the schools music festival and import judges who can do so strictly on the music and give reasons for placement.

    • Totally agree with you. Select judges who know music, especially pan music!!

    • I hear you Allison, however I am not in favour of bringing outside judges to analyse our music. WE need to get our act together and start wanting to do things the right way. We have a role to play as well. I saw many questions being asked this year regarding the qualifications and competency of the chosen judges at this year's competition. We need to keep asking these questions and be more demanding of the quality of individuals chosen for these competitions. We need to insist on a more transparent process. Is we ting and we have to want it done right. We have the capability right here at home.  

    • GO ALLISON!!!

    • Cutarse is a indeed a bitch....

      • yuh dun no!

      • merrytonestothebone: The page that I was on the viewers (1500 to 2500) were not as enthused about RENEGADES as you are. And the two hosts kept saying that the RESULTS will be an UPSET. Not to mention that they thought that the winning rendition was OVER-PRODUCED. And they have credentials, eh!

        So doh flap your wings TOO HARD!!!
