San Juan Eastside Symphony San Juan Eastside Symphony  Wins Championship Single Pan  Band Title

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Victorious San Juan East Side Symphony did the East region proud on February 3, and bested nineteen fellow participants in the Single Pan Band field of the 2019 Trinidad and Tobago National Panorama, to become champions in its category. In so doing, they denied defending champions Newtown Playboys Steel Symphony the chance to make it three-in-a-row.

The latter had to settle for a fourth place-tie with La Creole Pan Groove. Newtown Playboys had been first on stage for the final round of competition which took place at the Arima Basketball Court in Arima. San Juan East Side Symphony performed Iron Man as its tune of choice, which was arranged by Carlon “Panman” Harewood, and maintained its lead from the preliminary round results; there were no semi-finals. The band last topped the Single Pan Bands in 2015 with Duvone Stewart as arranger.

It is so annoying when you have these guys running around the front of the band pretending to conduct. Please just let the band play. I think it is very distracting to the judges. I have to close my eyes just to not be distracted by the sight and allow me to listen to the pan. If I were a judge, they would have lost points for their antics in front of the band. The band really sounds excellent.

I thought that I was the only one who shared this opinion!!! Me and  Andy!!!
