Congrats Congrats Fonclaire. What can I say, a raging storm indeed. Listening to you, as I have done countless times since the posting, you could feel the energy and passion with which the band played, only to be let down as you were twenty years ago.What a performance. What an arrangement, as if to say, "Are you going to deny me again?".
i am truly inspired and proud of fontclair..i am from stlucia and i listened online i think fontclaire should have had a higher placement...but respect that judges decision is final....weldone fontclair
Congratulations!!!!! They did not think u could be one of the big eight....but u'll always be the Pride of the South...tried and tested, and have proven them all wrong...Bless
While I do not agree with the final placement of all the bands this year, I must state that all the performances were really good.
I do think, however, that the time has come for those involved with the planning and judgeing of this competition to be more open with their scoring. This is a competition where us, the public, have no idea what scores (on a categorical basis) each band attained on each judge scorecard. They like to say that they want to raise the musical understanding of the public but how can they if we have no idea what they are looking for. Maybe the color of the pans and canopy on or off wins it.
Now is the time for pan trinbago to start the education process of teaching the pan listening public. At least, I want to learn.
Congrats Fonclaire!! You did yourselves, your Arranger and your supporters (even non supporters) proud. What a wonderful performance!!!! A Raging Storm indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
