They’re grouped together for each band and I’ll add more as we go.<\/p>\n FALL 2021 CONCERT (side view of stage) – Bacchanal<\/a>, 3rd<\/a>, Jouvert<\/a>, 5th<\/a>, Canboulay<\/a><\/p>\n Unedited, full concert (unfinished<\/a> – missing Bacchanal and other edits)<\/p>\n Canboulay<\/strong><\/p>\n “Misbehave<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n Our panorama tune for Virginia Beach ’22. This performance is Phase II playing at Panorama Finals in 1997 with Len “Boogsie” Sharpe. A classic, very difficult chart based on this classic soca<\/a> by Denyse Plummer.<\/p>\n “The Passage<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n Performance by Andy Narell and the Trinidad All Stars in Port of Spain, Trinidad in 2007. Not only is this a great example of how we want to play this chart, it also gives a rich, behind-the-scenes look at Carnival in Trinidad. Also, the video was shot and edited by Andy’s wife, Anita Bonan.<\/p>\n “Sing Ram Bam<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the original\/classic soca version by Winston Peters (“Gypsy”) for the Calpyso Monarch competition in 1987. The vintage performance footage is really worth watching. And you can hear the same themes from the chorus\/hook and verse in the version we are playing.<\/p>\n “Hard Times<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is the Cal State Long Beach Steel Orchestra playing the tune with a full Brazilian samba\u00a0bateria<\/i>. We could do this at Leon – we have many of the samba instruments. Maybe we could interest some drum line members to collab with us for a performance of this tune…<\/p>\n “Fit for a Straight Jacket<\/a>“<\/strong><\/p>\n Hard hitting, challenging, groovy chart by Tracy Thornton. Here is Canboulay in 2015 playing it (with Victor Provost on Tenor, center left front row with the beanie).<\/p>\n
