DESPERADOES STAY IN WINNERS ROW

By Sean Nero
Newsday Friday 26th February 1999; Pg 46
[Abridged by tojo]

   STILL BASKING in its glory, having won the 1999 national Panorama title, joint nine-time champions WITCO Desperadoes have copped the Carnival steelbands ON DE ROAD competitions prize valued at TT$50,000.
   The win was a convincing one as the celebrated Laventille-based band [nearly] earned top scores at the three competition venues; for a total of 797 points.

  • Piccadilly Street 185
  • City Hall 343
  • Downtown 269

[They were however pipped by Exodus who made 347 at City Hall]

   In second place was the East Zone champion Exodus with 781 points; followed third by Neal & Massy Trinidad All Stars with 768 points.

   Silver Stars, which this year made its Panorama comeback after some two decades out of the event, ran away with the BERGER PAINTS Las Lap title among Conventional Bands; while Scrunters Pan Groove won the Single Pan Bands category.

   Also, Silver Stars jointly earned first place at the Carnival MONDAY NITE ON DE ROAD CARIB '99 Ole Time Calypso competition with Courts Laventille Sound Specialist. St James Tripolians topped in the Single Pan Band category at that event.

   The first prize for the BERGER PAINTS Las Lap was TT$8,000 (TT$7,000 in cash and TT$1,000 worth of paint) for Conventional Band and the Single Pan Band TT$1,200 (TT$800 cash and TT$400 in paint); while the CARIB '99 Ole Time Calypso competition had a first prize of TT$3,000 for Conventional Band and TT$700 for the Single Pan Band.

   At Adam Smith Square Panatics steelband from Deigo Martin took home the TT$3,000 first prize for Conventional Bands while Nuttin Big Pan Groove earned the Single Pan Bands prize of TT$1,000.

   Exodus (Conventional) and Woodbrook Playboys (Single Pan) won the NATIONAL LOTTERIES Neville Jules J'Ouvert Morning Bomb Competition.

   Results of all the ON DE ROAD steelband competitions follow.

[Ref (1 to 4): Trinidad Pan Connoisseurs of 65 Western Main Road, St James; Harvard Harps of Tragarete Road; Highlanders of 12 Warton Street, Laventille; and Caribbean Paradise [of ?] seem to have sneaked out just to please us from their lairs in the side streets of Port of Spain. For the 1999 Carnival season they were not registered Panorama bands, and appear to prefer to play in that more traditional role as J'Ouvert morning bands or at the more recent Tuesday evening Last Lap showings.]
