Well despite all the confusion bands are still moving ahead with music. To my knowledge this is who is playing what, arranged by whom. Note that every single band has a unique tune of choice.
Pan Sonatas - Gie Dem Tempo - Yohan Popwell
ADLIB - Baddist - Andre White
Despers USA - Prophet of Pan - Odie Franklin
D'Radoes - Bacchanalist - BJ Marcelle
Crossfire - Action - Leon Foster Thomas
Pantonic - Play Yuhself - Keith Roberts
Sesame Flyers - Mr. Fete - Freddie Harris, Jr.
Harmony - Vibes - Marc Brooks

In 1979 steelbands in Trinidad & Tobago boycotted Panorama, because the prize money was ridiculously small, compared to the cost incurred in getting a steelband on stage in the competition. They won. The prize money was then increased to $26,000.00.
Do you guys in New York remember dat? So if you are returning to the same ole thing, then you all should stop bitching.
Enough said.
OK but this thread here is about what the bands are playing for the panorama, your point is well taken but there are at least three other threads devoted to the subject...
This 2012 Panorama is one of the few times that all bands are listed to perform a different tune. (What about Casym?) I wish all the Steel Orchestras good luck, and hope that there would be no complaints.
CASYM is not participating, but if they were I am sure they would be playing Arddin's composition for the year.
