Preparing for yesterday’s pan action

While many pan people watched the show yesterday they will never believe the hard work the players and management team from each steel orchestra go through.

There was excitment and as the big trucks rolled into the Savannah with hundreds of steel drums, even while others practiced their Panorama piece.

The 10 bands (three medium and seven small) from the sister isle were the first to set up in the Savannah.

As they ran through their paces other bands from other parts of Trinidad kept rolling. It was a joy to watch the convoy of trucks enter the Savannah carring Petrotrin Siparia Deltones pans, followed by the trucks conveying Tornados from Point rolled in behind them.

Vendors were also preparing their booths for the big day while onlookers sat around with their drinks having a good time.
