I can't sleep!!! I love the results of the TOBAGO PANORAMA -- what a PLOT TWIST!!!

Now, i never listened to COUVA JOYLANDERS, nor will I ever listen to that WINNING COMPOSITION. Because although I dabbled on a personal basis with DE FOSTO and some of his CALYSPO LYRICS in BROOKLYN in the 80's when I was hooked up with GEORGE VICTOR

Why Is There A Limit of 120 Musicians - Or Any, for Large Bands In Panorama?

There was a time, years ago, there was no formal limit as to how many musicians took the stage for Panorama in a steel orchestra. 

That changed, and now - there is a limit of 120. Why?  And who benefits? 

And are there any large bands/music franchi

Well SAN CITY STEEL SYMPHONY GOT A TOUGH DRAW, but with the SUPERIOR QUALITY of THEIR MUSIC I expect them to be ON THAT BOAT to TOBAGO
