    Radoes sounds like they will win again. Adlib, Despers and Casym sound good. Unfortunately didn't hear last year's second place P.E.S.O(Pan Evolution) or Metro.

    Did it start

      Yes, An announcement was made that bands (insurance regs) would not be on stage, then that was reversed. Situation seems chaotic to me. People at the gates don't know what to charge. 50th ann'y tee shirts nowhere to be found. Some said they'll be available at Dimanche Gras. Confusion? Nah. Dais how it is.

    I hope they could make the best of a bad situation

    After all them days and hours of practice you telling us that Philly Pan Stars went back to Philly. Why couldn't the WIADP organizers find some way to accommodate them for a few hours. This is not going to go down good in the pan community.Everyone knew the weather was going to be bad in advance. Why does steelbands always have to take the backseat .

      I was in Panstars last night.The judges made us stand ready on stage in the pouring rain for nearly two hours while they squabbled with the captains. When they finally decided, they packed up and left. No one told us what they decided. They just left. To add insult, the tech.crew turned the stage lights off leaving us in the dark. I got my pans and left. Drove two hours to get home. I found out this morning that they rescheduled. Bad form. At tge very least, the organization owes the Philly Pan Stars an apology.

    Sun is out, so should be a good happening. Philly pan stars went home so number is down to approx. seven(7). Weather looks good.

      When you say Philly pan stars went home, did Philly Pan Stars perform, or did they leave and not play at all?

      • Mercer Ramdoo > Mike Cook September 3, 2017 at 3:47pm
        I don't think they are performing
        • Catt > Mercer Ramdoo September 3, 2017 at 3:53pm

          According to their recent FB post, no they're not playing in the rama - but they did not go home. They will be going down the road for J'ouvert.
