It's a shame the way the small bands are treated. There is no coverage and I am sure there is no video on sale after carnival,like they do with large and medium bands. Now why is it the supporters could not take pictures of their band. I could understand during the large band because they sell a video, but the small bands have no memories of playing. Such great work and no one can see it after. Some people try to sneak a picture here and there and hope they don't get In trouble. If anyone out there know if there is a video available please let us know and where to get it. Also the junior panorama, if anyone knows where to get a video for that also. I hope there is one for them .

I even got an email from WST indicating that there would be a broadcast. When I went to the link David Rudder was playing live.

  That's is true. They said they were having problems and cut off the broadcast.

Now here is another great lawsuit. The unequal and bias treatment of the small band and single pan bands by Pan Trinbago and the Trinidad Government.

The bands should get together and sue now and stop the large bands panorama dead in its tracks unless the government gives 2 million to the winner of both the small band and single pan categories. They should also sue the government media outlets for imbalanced coverage.

    LOL... Yes it's me and I'm not drunk. Small band have rights too. I just don't think they should be competing against each other for crumbs. In an effective fleet there must be tankers, destroyers, battleships, warships cruisers and submarines. Each has it place and purpose within a fleet if they all respect the strengths and weakness of the other. It is very easy to destroy or have the members of a fleet destroy themselves if they don't work together.
    
    The question is can the different categories of pan see the bigger picture?

i can. single pan and small (and sometimes medium) get no respect from the organization. too bad, cause small and medium represent the greatest musical innovation of the panorama.
