THE way is clear for Exodus steelband to drop SuperBlue's Rag Storm and roll into the 2019 Panorama finals with Kees Dieffenthaller's Savannah Grass. The decision was made at around 9 pm today when High Court judge Justice Kevin Ramcharan ruled in favour of the band which filed an injunction against Pan Trinbago.
The band's manager Ainsworth Mohammed told reporters while he was happy with the outcome, he felt it was a sad day for pan.
"We don't gloat in victories like this. We would like to see the steelband movement go forward in strength, and that's the most important thing for us. We always knew it was our right to change the song since the rules did not preclude it, and there was precedence for it."

It was indeed a SAD DAY FOR PAN!!!
How yuh go just come in town and feel that you could beat BIG ESTABLISHED MEN who been representing PAN IN TRINIDAD FOR DECADES.
And to see an educated man like PATRICK letting EMOTIONS rule his reason and fishing on the wrong side of the bank -- the man almost break meh heart. But ah still LOVE HIM!!!
Patrick: Go back and listen to that tape with REMA and you will hear AINSWORTH say that "by today the case done" -- that's THE POLITICS, baby!!!
