  • Val,

           I do not know how I missed your posted discussion of September 6th. That was a sneaky one, and I would have been incorrect in challenging you, since no Steel Orchestra has ever played more than one panorama calypso at the National Panorama Finals. Because of your semantics, we were prejudiced in thinking only of the National Panorama (lol).

    Now I have one for you. Name the first band to win panorama performing at the #1 position. 

  • Just for the record, how many times did Cavaliers win the National Panorama? Did they also win the year they played Melody's "Mas'"?
    • Caverliers won in 1965 with Melody Mas.They also won in 1967 with '67'

  • There is only one time I know that two tunes were played in panorama,that was in 1967.It was your panorama tune and the

    song" Is Paris Burning". And in 1963 the year of the first panorama,Pan-Am North-Stars won with Dan Is The Man (Sparrow).By the way The winners in 1967 were Solo Harmonites, (Is Paris Burning) and Guiness Cavaliers,( 67)

    • There was a SOUTH Steelband Competition under the auspices of the Southern Carnival Improvement Committee on Mon 18th Feb 1963. The Bands were required to play (2) Tunes, one of which have to be a Calypso, Results were, 1st- Southern Marines, their selections were "The Road" (Kitchener), and "Largo" (Handel), 2nd- Teenage Symphony, 3rd- Sundowners.  

      • Bede take 10 Points and go to the Head of the Class. Very Correct. That was the South Panorama. Panorama at the Queen's Park Savannah in 1963 was called ""The Best Road March Competition" the Results of the First Panorama was announced on Ash Wednesday. Pan Am Won.
        • Val, that's what I though you were talking about, You still have that Police Diplomatic question that you put out to people, you going make people get lock up you know, lol

      • OK boys here is my answer, I...A....N    lol

  • Mr. Owen Serrette and and My Good Friend Hueloy You are Both Wrong. I know as Personnel's of Solo Harmonites You both would think that Your Band was the first to accomplish that Feat. My Record is Correct.  '''Its Southern Marines. The Two Pieces that they Played were.  [1] The Road by Lord Kitchener and Largo by Handel. This Happened in the 1963 Panorama, and this is Very Correct. In1967 Guiness  Cavaliers Won Panorama with 67 by Kitch  Solo Won the  'Is Paris Burning Competition and on that Same night Tripoli Won the Bomb with ''Theme from Paganini. I was Present Playinig With Witco Desperadoes

    • Dear Sirs,

      I am only concerned with the song is paris burning.You confirmed my answer.I am not about accomplishing any "feat"
