The Sunshine Awards Organization announced in New Jersey that the women’s section of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Band known for their unique and electrifying live performances is scheduled to make its highly anticipated debut in the United States with a performance at the prestigious 36th Annual SUNSHINE Awards Celebration, scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the Robert Treat Hotel, 50 Park Place, Newark, New Jersey 07102. This performance is regarded as a milestone as the band continues to expand its global reach. This appearance is expected to be one of the highlights of the evening.
The SUNSHINE Awards Program was founded 36 years ago to recognize excellence and accomplishments in the performing arts, education, science, humanity, and sports of the various Caribbean countries. Over the years, the program has expanded in depth and breadth with a global view, including the United States, and countries from Africa, South America, Central America, Europe, and Asia. In 1994, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the organization responsible for the Annual Grammy Awards, endorsed the SUNSHINE Awards. The United Nations also gave its global endorsement in 1998. The SUNSHINE Awards Organization has also received many “Proclamations” from various levels of the United States Government. The women’s section of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Band is expected to draw significant attention underscoring the importance of cultural diversity.
Acting Superintendent of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, Wayne Guerra said, ” I am truly elated that the Trinidad and Tobago Police Band, more so the female officers in our department, have been recognized in this capacity. It has become commonplace that the female officers of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service have been occupying various levels within the rank and file. We take this opportunity to showcase the brilliance and strength of our female counterparts. We are experiencing a more-than-welcomed paradigm shift, as it relates to the female roles within the workforce and the significant contributions that they make. Undoubtedly, we will seize this opportunity to promote our musical talents, both to the regional and international landscape.”
Gil Figaro, Sr. Chairman and Founder of the SUNSHINE Awards Organization said, “We are very excited and thrilled that the women’s section of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Band will be joining us this year to celebrate the SUNSHINE Awards recipients for their contributions and accomplishments. The band’s presence and performance will ensure an unforgettable experience for our guests. It will be an evening of exceptional talent and entertainment.”
