00:00I am feeling overjoyed. It's mixed emotions. I am just overjoyed. I am speechless. I am grateful.
00:11It's just a feeling of euphoria because I started this three years ago and, you know,
00:20tried to perfect my craft as the years go by. And, you know, I'm proud, really, really proud
00:28to see that it has paid off. You know, it's given me the encouragement to try to do better next
00:38year,
00:38to keep us standard. Copping second place for Band of the Year is Mystique
00:44and their presentation, The Rise of the Risha. And third is Astra Winchester Creations with
00:50their presentation, Splendour of Colours. Ms. Williams also copped the small band title,
00:57followed by Mystique and third, the Happy Lost Sailors.
01:02It's the first time that I'm with the Band of the Year. It's the second time that I've placed first
01:09for small bands. I would have placed second last year.
01:15Ms. Williams said it was a struggle to place first with all the challenges she faced
01:20and praised the support from her family in helping her to secure the win.
01:27From your winnings, you would save money to do your math the following year.
01:31But last year, September, I am one of the persons whose money was missing from the FCD account.
01:39So I actually started on zero dollars. But through the assistance of my husband and my aunt,
01:48they were able to finance, you know, get any materials and all this stuff to get this together
01:58to make it the success that it turned out to be.
02:01In the Windward-Tobago National Carnival results, Band of the Day was Chico Chicas and Friends
02:07with their presentation, National Pride. Second, JD Fantasy and their presentation,
02:13Let's Run Away to Paradise. And third, Xante Unique Touch and their presentation,
