\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Panache Steel Orchestra<\/a>, first-time entrant in Antigua & Barbuda\u2019s National Panorama competition in 2017, was apparently left stranded. With no means of transporting their racks and instruments to the competition venue of Carnival City (Antigua\u2019s Recreation Grounds (ARG)) miles away from their panyard, players had to come up with a solution.<\/p>\n

As they are playing in the irst position tonight, Friday August 4 – band members, including\u00a0arranger Zahra Lake<\/a>\u00a0were among the small group of around eight who took the initiative and undertook the task of rolling the racks to the venue. The group posted a \u2018live\u2019 stream to Facebook as their racks were being pushed earlier this morning at 4:44 along the dark streets to the country\u2019s capital.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

<\/div>\n

Pan musician\u00a0Maurisha Potter<\/a>\u00a0shared that they had been promised \u201cflat bed trucks\u201d for transportation, but this never materialized, hence their predicament. In the live stream, Ms. Potter referenced the organization which was believed to be responsible, along with the government.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Taking it in stride as they got the deed done, Ms. Potter said in part, \u201cNational [Antigua & Barbuda] Festival Commission, get it together, people….Panache [panyard] is not close to ARG at all….Get it together, Governments of Antigua & Barbuda, please!\u201d<\/p>\n

So – any word from those supposedly responsible for this fiasco?\u00a0 Time will tell.<\/p>
