Boston Symphony Steel Orch

Panists from Trinidad All Stars Steel Orchestra ‘stage side’ obtained a contract to play at the Trinidad Hilton Hotel. After a few months, a few members complained that all the panists from the orchestra should be given an opportunity to play at the hotel since it was an opportunity to make some money. That led to an argument between the 'stage side' and the other panists. The Captain, Neville Jules, called a special meeting to discuss the matter. At the meeting he decided that there would be a rotation of the panists to give everyone an opportunity to share in the financial rewards of the job. The 'stage side' members disagreed with his decision and left the orchestra. Of course, they lost the contract at the Hilton Hotel. The dissenters formed a new steelband called Boston Symphony Steel Orchestra. Their Captain was Winston Gordon. They opened their panyard on Piccadilly Street at the corner of Laventille Road.
