St. John’s, Antigua & Barbuda, W.I. - Saturday August 3, 2019 is the date for the annual Antigua & Barbuda National Panorama in the country’s capital of St. John’s. This year, no doubt the quest will be on in earnest to break last year’s “tie” for the Panorama champion title between Hells Gate and Panache steel orchestras. And of course there are other orchestras, five in total, also determined to be best in this musical wrestling match known as Panorama.
The five include past champions Ebonites, Gemonites, and Harmonites International, with East Vibes and Original steel orchestras rounding out the competitors. Music lovers will be making their way to the venue, Antigua’s Recreation Grounds, to catch all seven bands in keen music competition.
