We are interviewing some of the movers and shakers within these bands. We are here with Mr. Aquil Arrindell De Caires, Arranger and Captain of San City Steel Symphony.
TRINBAGOPAN: Mr. Arrindell De Caires , what has it been like for you all in terms of preparations for Panorama 2006?
AQUIL: Hectic.
TRINBAGOPAN: Who is the manager of the band?
AQUIL: The manager of the band is Mr. Anthony De Caires. He is more responsible for the overall structure of the band.
TRINBAGOPAN: Do you all have any plans for the band after Panorama 2006?
AQUIL: San City Steel Symphony is a band that functions right through the year. The band has been doing that for about ten years now.
TRINBAGOPAN: Where is the band located?
AQUIL: We are located on Carib Street down San Fernando. We are from the San Fernando City Corporation. We are a small unit made up of San Fernando City Corporation members. We grew from strength to strength and here we are today.
TRINBAGOPAN: As a young captain and arranger, do you have any advice for the younger people out there?
AQUIL: There are a lot of positive things out there for the youths to get involved with, like sports and culture. I think once they get involved with these positive groups we would have a better Trinidad and Tobago.
