7-time pan champs Arima Golden Symphony homeless
Arima Golden Symphony steel pans are rotting at the PTSC terminal in Arima
Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Arima Golden Symphony steel orchestra has won the small conventional band category in the national Panorama competition seven times.
Five victories were consecutive, an accomplishment that no other conventional steel orchestra has ever achieved. Despite this historical feat, the band is homeless.
During practice, last Wednesday night, at the panyard of Arima All Stars on Malabar Road, Arima, Golden Symphony's treasurer Carlene Thomas spoke about the band's plight.
Golden Symphony has been searching for a home of its own for the past 36 years.
....“Since co-founder Terrance “BJ” Marcelle, who also batoned all our championships as arranger, started the band to now, we have never gotten any help from anyone, government or private. We have never been given justice or an opportunity for a home.”
