how can a band go from second overall and fall to ninth, Pan Elders must have fallen asleep and I did not notice. Who are these judges. But at least three south small bands are in and I am so happy for Tornados

Is it possible to hear "Blue Crescendo" I don't think I've heard it yet!
Big up to laventille serenaders and mr.Herbert for comin 3rd. As everyone know bands cannot practice properly on the hill because of the crime, so it is hard to get players to go up there and play. they was the smallest of all the bands, so once again big up to serenaders.
It was shocking to me that the reigning Champs Pan Elders didn't make it...WOW...... Congrats to Tornadoes who rised back up,as for San City and Panasonic congrats for making it to the Final rounds 4th an 5th
Yes Dika...no Merry Tones...but also...no Pan Elders too...they won last year..actually since the begining of the competiton we and they have been the leading lights of the competition...one thing I'll say is that the quality of the competition has improved by leaps and bounds...so it's all good...well for me at least...kinda...lol...we just have to dust our pants off and come again stronger next year...

Well dust off right but it is hard to take.
I heard the south bands. Why no Pan Elders really beats me. I liked San City too but....some explaining is in order. The judges comments would be interesting.
