UPDATE: Showtime sorts them out again!
Speaking with Virgin Islands News Online shortly after the announcement that Showtime had claimed the 2013 Road March title, Mr Freeman could not stop praising his fans for their part in allowing them to secure the win for the 7th time around.
"Show Time couldn't do it without the fans who made this song so popular. They loved it and played it lot, sang it a lot and partied a lot to it and that was one of the things that caused us to win and I want to say a big thank you to them."
Mr Freeman also said "We must first of all also thank the Almighty Father for it was him who made this all possible," he added.
The Showtime band veteran said ‘Sort Out’ is one of his favourites because of the message that it carried. "The people, the fans connected with the message and they carried it and it will forever live on," he said.
‘Boss’ couldn't find sufficient words to describe his band members as he said he considers them the 'A' team, "They are the number one team ever. Those guys don't sleep. Day in day out, they have been spending sleepless nights to get things together for the festivals this year. I cherish their commitment and give a big shout out to them all the way."
Noting that the band has gone through some changes over the years, Mr Freeman said the current crew are mainly new faces with a passion for what they do as band members.
Asked if they have begun to 'sort out' things for next year, Mr Freeman said, "Man we worked hard during the festival so right now we are going to bask in the joy. We will take some time and enjoy the win this year before we start thinking about next year. The guys deserve it, we all deserve it," said Mr Eustace 'Boss' Freeman.

if yo ass wa square yo woulda sh1t cube!!!lickkksss....no sh11tttyyy band........so call bad band in tola n cant win a road march!!!!lmaooooo....OVERRATED!!
How can you have a member (chairman) of the parade committee be a member of a band running for road march?
I personally think as long as O H is part of the parade/festival committee any band he is associated with should not be eligible for road mach.
To you Boss continue to keep up the great work, 6 new members and you still manage to hold the title. SORT OUT!!!!
Listen to all of Boss songs he sang with the original Showtime and you tell me if lyrically they were not better than those Jugo sang. This man songs should have been winning road march from long time.
