Before the size of the large bands were limited to 120 players, bands like Desperadoes,  Cavaliers and Harmonites to name a few used to play with way more than 120 players on stage. Now the large bands maximum  players is 120. which large band won Panorama with the least amount of players.

  • I am thinking WITCO 1970 with Margie.  They lost a lot of key members after touring NY in 1969 and went back home to win panorama in 1970 with a smaller band than usual..

  • The answer to this question should be available by a Pantrinbago website, for example, for anyone to research. This should be a very simple answer to anyone who's interested. We still continue to debate one another, with rumshop talk, and nobody actually knows. Where is the info coming from, memory?

    • Patrick: You are not allowed to say anything disparaging about PAN TRINBAGO on this forum ANY MORE. Do your own research and set up your own website. If you think anybody will take their HOUSE BUILDING money and spend it on a PAN TRINBAGO WEBSITE upgrade -- I will have to put you on a DON'T KNOW TRNIDAD AND TRINIDADIANS LIST.

      • Pantrinbago I believe is the best place, or should be the most obvious reference to seek info. on pan.

        • Patrick, I would not say so, Pantrinbago have one of the Worse Website, its not User Friendly at all, You try going on that Website you get lost.

        • Sounds to me you were dreaming and just woke up.

          • Bertel: You living in Trinidad so I sure yuh know how much house build and car buy off the PAN TRINBAGO PILFERING OF FUNDS. I living so far away and I know -- you must know.

            Beverly should come and give details but she running ah election campaign in TOBAGO but she on the same side in TOBAGO with me -- so all is forgiven unless she lose ... AGAIN.

            Come on Bertel, tell PATRICK where all the PAN TRINBAGO DOLLARS GOING. It eh to build no WEBSITE.

            Ah hear DIAZ MAKING about $500,000 a year when all is said and done, but I never see the books -- so I DOH KNOW!

             

            • Claude Gonzales, Beverly don't come on this site anymore, A Still Tongue Keeps a wise Head,

            • Claude, we really doh need to talk much about it, because like dey car hear. We just need to watch good. De ting is dem panman aint only deaf but dey blind too!

  • Good topic Earl. I do not know how many players North Stars had when they won in 1963 and 1964.  However, Cavaliers only had 45 players when they rocked town with Melody's, "Melody Mas" in 1965. Lennox "Bobby" Mohamed said to me, "I do not know why people always saying that cavaliers had over 100 players in 1965, all we had was 45."

    I do know that Desperadoes won Panorama with only 70 players in 1970.
