Just some panorama trivia for 2015: (1) All Stars has now grossed $8,400,000 in panorama prize monies from 2007 through 2015 (2) All Stars/Leon Edwards, the only team to place in the top-three since 2006 (3) Leon "Smooth" Edwards is now the 4th arranger to qualify for the finals at least 29 times, behind Clive Bradley-32, Jit Samaroo-29 and Len "Boogsie" Sharpe-35 (4) Duvone Stewart has now arranged 12 consecutive winners, and has 14 total victories from 2004 through 2015 (5) Although Desperadoes has not won panorama in 15 years, the band still has the highest win ratio, 1 victory every 5.2 years.
Many thanks Ian, What would we do without you......
these comments here are hilarious. yall are quite entertaining I must say. LOL!!!! Nevertheless...congratulations to All Stars. I'm sure they are still celebrating. As long as Nalo Sampson is dancing in the front of that band, my Panorama is complete. I may not be a member of the band but win, lose or draw, I thought that this year had some really great bands in the finals with some awesome arrangements.
After I heard All Stars and Phase2 I said to myself, it looks like Renegades Win, and I also said, Fonclaire and Exodus also have ah chance, then I hear the Results, I just wasn't sure if I heard right. I Think one of the Judges wrote their Scores with his Left hand (And he isn't Left-handed)
SOUR GRAPES THAT'S ALL IT IS, SOUR SOUR SOUR GRAPES
IT'S A AMAZING THAT YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE CROWD NOT BEING MOVED.
DO YOU REMEMBER 'DUST IN DEY FACE' OF 1993 WHEN DE VERY RAFTERS WERE BREAKING DOWN WHEN THE CROWD WAS MOVED AND WHAT HAPPENED THE BAND THAT DID THAT CAME 3RD. SO PLEASE DONT TELL ME ABOUT CROWD NOT BEING MOVED DO YOU REMEMBER THEIR CHANT 'WE WANT MORE' 'WE WANT MORE'
'WE WANT MORE' NUFF SAID
Valentine,
I am expressing my profound agreement with your observation
Were the 'judges'(?) jumping up in ALL Stars when the last band played? Were the 'judges'(?) asleep when the last band played? Were they sleeping on the score sheets when the last band played? Were the 'judges' (?) around when the last band played? To be a judge, do you have to know anything?
I say forget about judges and let the the people decide. Full the stadium with people from all around the world the larger percentage from citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. I believe we should reward innovators every year that improves on the steelpan music.
Congratulations to all the winners.
