I continue to pray to God that judges judge good musical arrangements ( all that is required on the score sheets)and the overall package on stage. Not, NAME OF ARRANGER OR NAME OF SPONSOR!!! Please judges don't let 2012 be another year where GOOD MUSIC goes to waste!!! Good luck to all bands. Players enjoy yourself , have a blast, this is your time to shine.
All the best golden symphony ! band of my heart played my first ever panorama with this great band of the east.
D. Davis. Thats a brilliant idea. I think Pantrinbago reads this posting!
If Pantrinbago wants to make it a cash revenue for Pan, why do they not have the small and medium bands perform on Saturday and the large bands perform on Sunday. This way the music will be fresh and endure. It also will not be a hassle for the pan men to have to set up so early in the morning. Now Panfanatics will not be up after 3am with one ear open.
I think ah smelling 4 in a row for BJ aand Golden Symphony
