"The new 2004 panorama format is flawed. Many medium bands can easily compete and out perform Birdsong, Nightingales and Silver Stars. We have noticed this for the past few years. When making changes, one need to investigate which takes some time,…"

"Claude, Bernie Sanders getting some momentum. Later on today interesting."

"Well done Terri Lyons,Calypso Monarch of 2020, great performance, happy to see Super on stage as support.  Felt embarrassed  for former monarch Renaldo London should not be competing with these finalist. It appears he was propped up last…"

"No dark horse here Cecil, Phase II has the best tune/arrangement for this panorama competition,with a superb performance,the band would win."

"Great, appreciate the feedback."

"This system should not let someone take the survey more than once. The output will not be proper."

"Claude is this band moving up to the large band category next year? Lots of  kudos for this band, plus how about demoting La Bray Nightingales or Birdsong to small or medium category. These changes may improve competition."

"Martin Daly why complain of juggernaut trucks? The steel-bands are doing the same for years. You and so many keep saying you need more steel-bands on the road, for heaven's sake you cannot find a  steel-band on the road on carnival days.…"

"Bugs, I listened to Supernovas rendition of 'Dear Promoter' so many times and I still cannot say they did better than these bands posted above. I believe whats missing is a sweet piece of music maybe 5 minutes before they end of their…"

"I need to mention, what Supernovas and Pamberi played this year is approx. 10 times better than their offerings last year. 2020, competition stiff. Pamberi - To gain a few more points, need to decorate the band a bit, tune/paint the drums etc."

"I listened to the Supernovas and Pamberi steel-bands arrangement many times after their semis, there is no way Supernovas executed their tune/arrangement preferable than Exodus. Likewise, Pamberi tune did not match Renegades horn tune. I think both…"

"How difficult is it to lay down the rules the year before."

"Whats new? Don't smoke weed and drink alcohol."

"Very poor performance by La Brea Nightingales Steel Orchestra, may not of made the cut if the band was in the medium category.  Good tune selection, but the band played with no excitement, the arrangement sounded unfeeling. Hopefully improve…"

"We need Dr Keith Rowley to start pushing pan on the road. He will get a lot of votes and respect."

"Silver Stars out of the gates first."
