Junior Monarch finals postponed

The Scotiabank Junior Monarch finals have been postponed to Thursday, July 25, at 7 p.m. and will be held at the Garfield Sobers Complex, Wildey, St. Michael.

The finals which were set for July 20, at the National Botanical Gardens Amphitheatre have changed due to occasional showers over the past days that hampered the full technical set-up.

Additionally, to ensure junior calypsonians could showcase their talents in optimal conditions rehearsal was needed ahead of the competition.

The National Cultural Foundation says this decision was made following consultation with parents, sponsors, judges and other key stakeholders.

Producer of the event and Music Officer Kevin Moore stated NCF is committed to young contestants’ development and to staging the competition in the best possible environment.

“These young people have practice hard and while we cannot control the weather, we can assure you that the work put in our mentors, coaches, band, technical and indeed our contestants will be worth the wait. Our main intention is that these youngsters get to perform in the best conditions possible conditions,” he said.

All tickets purchased remain valid and NCF apologises for any inconvenience caused.
