  • Good Luck to all Steel Orchestras at London's 2012 Panorama.

    Food for thought: Jit Samaroo took from 1972 to 1978 before he qualified Renegades for the Panorama Finals in Trinidad. They both went on to win 9 times, placed 3 seconds and 3 thirds from 1980 through 1997. Nuture your own; if we keep hiring big name arrangers what will become of the young and upcoming?

  • Good luck to all the bands...you are all champs...big up!!!
  • Good tune of choice by Mangrove. I wish someone were playing that in BK.

  • Best of luck to all competitors.

  • Last time I checked, Delphina James was an Ebony member! Lol
    • Lol, indeed - edited, thanks!
