It look like instead of turning PANYARDS into "CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE" the lady turning the PANYARDS into CENTERS OF DESOLATION

If yuh not ah BIG BAND with SPONSORS to pay for the BEST PLAYERS in the land -- yuh have to close up shop.

This year promises to have some SERIOUS band hopping/section swapping going on. Somebody should go around and do an award winning DOCUMENTARY on the "COMPETITION".

But on the upside it makes for QUALITY MUSIC!!! It might just come down to the best arranger and the best tonal quality of the PANS and the best choice of song.
