Alvin Daniel to facilitate SMC judges workshop

Spicemas Corporation (SMC) will today, June 7 and Saturday, June 8, host a second workshop for persons who are interested in judging calypso and soca for the 2013 season.

Existing judges are also expected to attend the sessions as they prepare to face the challenges of assessing performances of artistes during the various competitions for the carnival season.

The facilitator will be Trinidadian Mr. Alvin Daniel, who conducted the first workshop a few months ago. The venue will be the Spicemas Corporation’s Office, Room 116 at the National Stadium.

Both sessions will be intense and it’s the hope of the Corporation that despite the fact that it is occurring on days when there are a host of other activities, persons will come out and participate in the sessions, which will end at 9:30 p.m. on Friday and 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Calypso and soca judging is an integral component of carnival events as all final events will feature the best work of competitors in the various events. Spicemas was officially launched in Grenada last Saturday and the season will conclude on August 24, 2013.

The theme for 2013 Carnival is: “Deeply rooted in our ancestral heritage: Sweet Pan … the rhythm and sound of Spicemas”. (LS)
