Sonatas Sports Day - Mad Fun Generated by New York Steelpan Music Organizations
New York, USA - Competitive juices flowed on a summery hot Saturday afternoon - the last in July - as members of various steelband music powerhouses came in a determined but jovial and energetic mood to the ‘premises’ of Sonatas Steel Orchestra. But most obvious among all was a passion for total fun - present in very large measure at the second Annual Sports Day organized by defending steelband panorama champions, Sonatas.
The 2010 edition of the event had met with success and generated bragging rights for an entire year, so there was much eagerness on the part of many participants to turn the tables, so to speak. Good-natured ribbing and teamwork upped the ante as the competitors, bolstered by an ample supply of “fuel” in the form of ice cold water, juices, energy drinks and sodas (with optional delicious hot dogs and hamburgers available) - gave miscellaneous sporting activities their best shots from the early afternoon into evening hours.
