As the white people say: ARE YOU JOSHING ME?
Allyuh really think that some YANKEE ARRANGER or some TRINIDAD STEELBAND going to TOBAGO and win the MOST HISTORIC STEEELBAND EVENT in the HISTORY OF TOBAGO ... especially under BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE who is using this even as a POLITICAL LADDER to climb into PARLIAMENT?
I prefer to say: Allyuh trying to MAMAGUY ME or what?
Bradley use to say, you have to take it out of the judges hand. Odie Franklin, surely
has that ability.

merrytones, Deltones was awesome, their music is very Zandaish, hats off to Akinola Sennon.
Cecil we doh agree often...but yuh have meh vote on this one...Akinola get his players to do some really unexpected and exciting things with that Ella Andall tune...
Listen nah...Go back to the East page and give Tipica a listen...This Medium Panorama is pressure this year...Seion was his usual kinda over-cooked but good self with Sound Specialists...
HATTERS have some FINELY TUNED PANS!!! And they played the CALYPSO in CALYPSO!!!
Hatters' sound was too thin for my liking...Too much tenor (pan)...I expected more from the arranging style too...Vanessa didn't turn me on with Trinidad Vally Harps either...
At this later date merrytonestotebone; we actually figured a 9 to 14, appreciating Katzenjammers, Deltones and Pamberi among some others, but got the 9, for now that is.
+ Wow! Of all people, you should know that tenors are precious! Bless dem players! And the rest as well!
You seem to be listening to the wrong, poor sound video.
Try this link below, with a good sound system, and you’ll learn why.
Cheers. tobagojo
Yes...listened to another recording...much better than what I first heard...They are deserving of the Semis spot...
I'm very disappointed with Hatters. You have to work at messing that tune up. If they making it to the semis I would recommend a complete do-over.
