Congrats to all the competing bands but a special mention goes out to Pan Fantasy and Salah's Steelpan Academy as they will be representing Canada at the ICP 2015. I'm in Trinidad already hoping to meet you all to express my best wishes in person.

Congrats to Pan Fantasy, I have never heard this band but I believe this Band have a great organization that is why they always in the winners row.
You're a WST member and "NEVER HEARD" of Pan Fantasy from Toronto?
John Dinga, it's not that I "Never Heard" of the band it's just that I have never listened to them, I know they also take part in the NY Panorama. I am not a Panorama person I like Music Festival.

Would love it if someone could put up some videos of Pan Alive.
