Sounds of victory filled the cool night air in Malick, Barataria, on Friday when joint Single Pan Band winners Trinidad East Side Symphony rolled out the welcome wagon for a much deserved victory party.
Proud members of the community joined invited guests for the occasion which featured sumptuous cuisine, celebratory drinks and, above all, fun vibes.
Playing a Carlon Harewood arrangement of Total Disorder from the songbook of the late Kelvin “Mighty Duke” Pope, the band was adjudged joint winners in the finals of the Single Pan Band held at Skinner Park, San Fernando, on Carnival Thursday. They tied with Marsicans.
It was the first victory for the band which was formed 16 years ago. Harewood has been at the helm of the band for the past 11 years.
