00:00As the Battle of the Steel Bands at the Pantry and Bagel Panorama Semi-Finals played out on the big stage at the Savannah,
00:07there seemed to be an informal competition among the rhythm sections.
00:13And if you were one of those who found it difficult to get tickets to go to the North Stand for the Pantry and Bagel Panorama Semi-Finals on Sunday,
00:21TV6 News was informed that the Minister of Policing, Keith Scotland, intervened as one soca legend sought to get into the North Stand.
00:30So I told the rest of the people that I was going to go to the North Stand.
00:34I said, listen, I will get out tonight and we need to have three bands.
00:40You know, so I went to the North Stand to check in fans and check in supporters of fans.
00:46Before TV6 News spoke with Marshall Montano, we spoke with Minister Scotland.
00:51It's surprising to say I was taken aback by the situation or something like that.
00:59Without any further embarrassment, that's all I would say.
01:04And just for confirmation, the artist was Marshall Montano?
01:07It was.
01:08And in a situation of all's well that ends well, Marshall Montano spent some time in the North Stand
01:14before he made his way onto the big stage to show his support for those three large steel bands
01:20that chose his 2025 soca song, Bet Me, for the Panorama Semi-Finals.

01:34After a quick T-shirt change, BP Renegades and the Heritage Petroleum Separia Deltones.
01:39TV6 News spoke with Marshall Montano about what the 2025 Panorama Semi-Finals meant to him.
01:46You see, when it rains, it pours.
01:49I'm telling you man, I always feel so.
01:51I feel a little let down.
01:52I don't want to get picked in my chair.
01:54But when I get picked by Renegades and All-Stars, and your whole band, Deltones,
02:01I just feel shining.
02:03I feel honoured.
02:06Those at the North and Grand Stands had the honour of a live performance by Black Adam
02:10before Invaders played his 2025 song, Blessing.
02:17Blessing.
02:20Black Adam went on to wave the flag for Invaders.
02:27Soca artist Voice was on two stages at the Savannah on Sunday night.
02:31At the Greens.
02:47And he soon left the Greens to make his way to the big stage
02:51when Nutrient Silver Stars performed his song.
03:00When Heritage Petroleum Skiffle Steel Orchestra performed his song Retro,
03:05Superblue joined them on stage.
