Good Times by Denyse Plummer is the tune of choice of
Antillean
Al Stars for Tuesday's preliminary of the 2006 Panorama
competition.
Pan Elders, one of the three steelbands on Carib
Street, San Fernando, competing in the small band
category of this year’s Panorama, will be on show at the
2006 panyard judging on Tuesday. The band’s tune of
choice is Tempo (remix), sung by Calypso Rose and
Shurwayne Winchester. Arranger is Richard Gittens.
Preliminary judging for the 2006 national Panorama
begins tomorrow evening and bands of Pan Trinbago’s
South/Central region have been taking night to make day
in preparation.
This year, bands of the region are making a concerted
effort to capture the top prize in the conventional
orchestra category.
The last time a band from south Trinidad won was in 1975
when Hatters, now sponsored by Maritime Life, copped the
title, playing Steve Achaiba’s arrangement of Lord
Kitchener’s Tribute to Spree.
Judging starts at 7 pm at the panyard.

led by Junia Regrello, will perform Colours - sung by
Destra Garcia,
composed by Mark Loquan and arranged by Liam Teage - in
the
large band category at the 2006 panyard preliminaries
judging of the
2006 Panorama on Monday. |
