T&T: Pan Trinbago commentary on the Bomb competition

Apparently, the event came to be called the Bomb because of competition amongst the steelbands. They'd arrange these pieces with the intention of dropping it on their rivals and blowing them out of the water.

Harlem Syncopators are coming up and they are playing classical that I can't identify offhand. The rhythm section is too close to the mike or something. Their arrangement sounds muddy. That could be either cuz of the percussion drowning out the pan or just the tuning of their pans. The musical arrangement sounds very workman-like as though they've got kids playing for them. Came to a sudden stop, too. Commentator didn't mention name of piece either.
