These results were given by the Grand Bahama Junkanoo Committee
during a press conference on Wednesday morning. It was noted that it
would take another 48 hours before the official results will be sent.
Chauncy Gray, Leader of the Superstar Rockers said they felt the
parade was judged fairly, noting that they did a lot of hard work.
"You know, last year we finished in 4th place and we didn't feel too
good about our position, so we went the extra mile, did the extra things
and the results showed."
Making the announcement for the committee was Deputy Chairman William
Martinborough who said the penalties this year were not as harsh as
they were before. He then saluted Marsha Stubbs, a committee member,
for managing the penalty process through workshops/training and overall
mentoring through the process.
"Groups did very well also" he continued. "Managing the points that
which they had to access. No group has been penalized nowhere near 150
or more."
