2020 Panorama Prelims Large Bands (La Brea Nightingales)

[@anthonytenia3232]

Man I've listened to this selection a dozen times already and, I'm still Listening !!!!!!!!

[@dwaynefrancis921]

They made it to the semis. 259pts 13th place out of the 16 bands in the semis

What a BEAUTIFUL arrangement of " Feeling It " Well paced, I could actually hear the entire arrangement all the way out in the Cold as though I was standing listening to the performance right there in the Pan-Yard !! All the phrases and intricate passages !! Nothing rushed or jumbled !! The Guys are not hopping up and down like Jack Rabbits but simply grooving it and enjoying what they are playing. I've listened to a few Bands today, but this is definitely the best I've heard !! In my opinion ahead of the big boys like All Stars, Renegades, Invaders, Desperadoes , Phase 11 etc, etc... job well done Mr Arranger. Wish you the very best...... Thank You Kindly for posting Mr Anthony......

So true. The sad part is because they are not a 'Big Boys Band' they will go unnoticed and be judged unfairly

[@anthonytenia3232]

I understand Mr Francis. However, the arranger did his Band and his Community great justice for this Panorama 2020 !! This is how a Panorama piece should be played, in fact that is how " Music " should be played so that it is understood and enjoyed !! Not a race to the finish line.... So to heck with what the judges say..... I am also a Pan Player and that is how I love to play a Panorama selection I grew up under Ray Holman. If you know Ray that is how he plays music thus the reason he's kept out of winning most times. Search on KZbin for a selection he did called " Penny Lane " and you will understand what I'm saying. Thanks for your response Mr Francis. Have yourself a Safe and Happy Carnival 2020******** Wish I was there Bro...........

@@anthonytenia3232 No need to get hyped sir. I'm from La Brea and I support this band. I'm just telling how it goes. Look at some of their other compositions on KZbin and one in particular 2017 The band stole the show in the finals and they placed them last. I'm not saying they played bad they played good but it's just sad how the judging system is in Trinidad. Understand what I am saying.

Lol. And I live in the cold too. But La Brea is my home

[@anthonytenia3232]

Hey Mr Dwayne I'm from the Wood-Brook area in P.O.S. Honestly I've never heard of this Band before. Do you know the name of the arranger ??

[@jasonfaraday8415]

Vanessa Headley. She's mostly known for her work as the arranger of Golden Hands in the small band category!

[@anthonytenia3232]

Hi Mr Faraday, is that the same Vanessa who used to be on " WACK 90.1 " Radio doing the bit on Steel-Bands ??

[@jasonfaraday8415]

@@anthonytenia3232 Yes sir! You're absolutely right. She has an excellent relationship with Mr. Kenny Phillips! She still does bits at Wack 90.1 from time to time.

[@anthonytenia3232]

Hi Mr Jason, when you mentioned the name I thought it was her. She used to have a" Pan Segment " on Wednesdays I think on WACK. I had called in a couple to her..... If you know or see her please tell her for me that she did a " FANTASTIC " job....... Thanks....
