Historical Tidbits:
Invaders began as the Oval Boys in Woodbrook, Port-of-Spain, in the late-1930s when the steelband was in its infant stage. Early band members included Elliott "Ellie" Mannette, Francis Wickham, and Stanley Hunte, its first leader. The Oval Boys held practice at the Queen's Park Oval before moving to 147 Tragarete Road, opposite the Oval and in Mannette's backyard, where it changed its name to Invaders on VJ Day in 1945. The band's name was taken from the 1943 American movie "The Night Invader." Mannette led Invaders from the late-1940s until 1967 when he migrated to the USA and his younger brother Vernon "Birdie" Mannette took over the leadership of the band.  (R. Emrit).
