Respect to all the bands who all worked hard and put down some great performances! Looking forward to the final and just as I guessed Exodus is up there near the top of the table and will be hot favourites alongside Phase II to topple All Stars and upset their hat-trick plans.
Hopefully the issue with broadcast rights will be sorted out between Pan Trinbago and C-TV before the final on Carnival Saturday so that folks around the world will be able to enjoy video stream of the final which promises to be a high calibre musical affair.
Can All Stars do the elusive hat-trick or will Exodus, Phase II or one of the other hot contenders hit them the knock out punch?
All should be revealed on Carnival Saturday 9th February at the Queens Park Savannah, Port-Of-Spain, Trinidad for the 2013 Medium & Large Bands Panorama Finals.
