For the first time the public is invited to view this preliminary round. I expect it to be a stiff competition tonight as there are 19 spots for the Groovy Soca Monarch finals, as to whom will dethrone (if they can) the reigning King Herb Black on July 4th 2009 at Sammans Park is something we have to stay tuned for.


Ah Carnival in full gear
