Final for the Finals

Today I am taking a little break from the reviews to give you news of this year's finalist. You heard it correctly my friends the chosen finalists are here, but I must update an earlier post, the magic number is 16. Yes, 16 groups are going forward to the Barbados Community Independance Festival 2008 National Finals, on Sunday December 7. These groups include 12 adult groups and 4 junior (child) groups. Sounds like a long show, but based on the energy and creativity displayed during the Zone Finals, patrons will be entertained till the end.

The groups moving into the finals are {drum roll here}
