WST Steelband Panorama 2016 logo

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - It's hats off and congratulations to the three sets of winners—steel orchestras and respective arrangers—in their categories in Trinidad & Tobago's 2016 Junior National Panorama competition. The junior musical steelband festival came off Sunday January 31 at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain.

Tacarigua Presbyterian (first time in the Junior Panorama competition) with arranger Keva-Ann Blackman (Primary Schools) - St. Joseph's Convent, St. Joseph (Secondary Schools) led musically by arranger Anders Kappel Øvre, and Renegades Youth (21 & Under) with their champion arranger Andrew Charles - all tasted the sweetness of success for 2016. For Charles and Renegades Youth it was an extremely special occasion, having achieved a hat trick together, the collaboration copping the championship title for the third year in a row, 2014 and 2015 being their time as well. 

Thirty-two junior steel orchestras in all took the Savannah stage full of enthusiasm and determination for their turn in the spotlight.  They were the finalists in three categories:  Primary Schools (12), Secondary Schools (10) and 21 & Under (10).  With the watchwords for Panorama 2016 being ‘Excitement and Excellence,’ both were very much in evidence, bringing life to the very frequent saying that "Pan is in good hands," in this case, those of the nation's youth.

Final Results for the 2016 National Junior Panorama in the three respective categories follow.
