Thou­sands came out on Car­ni­val Mon­day night for the Ch­agua­nas Car­ni­val Com­mit­tee's (CCC) an­nu­al steel­band com­pe­ti­tion.

Deputy may­or of Ch­agua­nas and vice-chair­man of the CCC, Or­lan­do Nages­sar, said he was over­whelmed by the crowd re­sponse. Pa­trons at the free event saw nine steel­bands from South and Cen­tral play­ing be­fore the judges who were seat­ed on a stage in front the Ch­agua­nas Mar­ket. Pa­trons got an added treat from young Al­lan Clel­land-God­dard who sang Pan in My DNA.

The crowd called for an en­core from the for­mer Ju­nior Ca­lyp­so Monarch, who was born in Eng­land in 1997, and has lived in T&T since he was three months old. The com­pe­ti­tion opened with a per­for­mance by the Poly­phon­ics Steel Or­ches­tra, fol­lowed by the St Thomas Sil­ver Stars, of Boothill, Ch­agua­nas, led by cap­tain Nor­man Sylvester. New Age Trend­set­ters were the next in line and they were fol­lowed by South­ern All Stars and South­ern Marines Steel­pan Foun­da­tion, Cou­va Joy­lan­ders. T&TEC Trop­i­cal An­gel Harps and Long­denville Clay­tones closed the pro­gramme at 10 pm.
