Breaking News- PAN TRINBAGO JACKASS OF THE NIGHT. Here we go again...... Imagine Gerard Mendez, Chairman of the Northern Region displayed total disrespect whilst CAL Invaders were performing for the judges.The Minister of Culture was present . He openly gave his opinion by making negative statements in a loud voice and gesticulating during the bands performance whilst standing alongside the judges table. Clearly should he hold the position as Chairman? Is this a demotivating ploy/ strategy? All Steelband members open your eyes and ears. There is lack of respect to the position he holds, the band, its members, and supporters.WHAT A DISGRACE!!! HOW SHAMEFUL!!!

Why allyuh defending INVADERS? That is one of the worst beating PANORAMA STEELBANDS in Trinidad since I was a child. And nothing eh change yet! How is some gesticulations by a PAN TRINBAGO GANGSTA going to change that?
As much as I hate to say it - as the young people say - Claude "dropping facts". It is only in the last few years that Invaders has registered a bleep on the richter scale.
Today, the band has consistently remained in the top 10 best of the best in Panorama Finals under arranger Arddin Herbert. That’s a major accomplishment compared to other large bands with big name arrangers.
Large bands draw large crowds...
Caribbean Airline Invaders were at the Queen’s Park Oval car park where they performed Arddin Herbert’s arrangement of the popular “Full Extreme” sung by Ultimate Rejects. Fans who were at the Oval early got a taste of the Ultimate Rejects as they performed the song before they left for the airport.

Aye Claude I have to disagree with your comment about Invaders being "one of the worst beating Panorama Steelbands" they might not have been successful in panorama arena but saying they are one of the worst is a bit much.

Cecil:
The wise speak because they have something to say. Others, … because they have to say something.
Some are wise. Some are otherwise.
Remember that.
As you shovel your driveway this morning give a thought as to what the “father of the modern steel drum instrument’ would be feeling were he to read this drivel. I hope he never reads it. Honestly.
When you are back in from shoveling and warming up over a steaming hot cup of java with a cap full of Remy here are 2 links for you to reminisce and enjoy……(old man).
