New Dimension Steel Orchestra New Dimension Steel Orchestra was formed in March of 1988 by a group of young people living in St. George’s, the capital of Grenada. From inception, the band signaled that it would be a tremendous musical force - for in just six months New Dimension Steel Orchestra was able to capture the National Panorama Championship – Grenada’s most prestigious Steelband Music award. This achievement was very significant considering that the band was un-sponsored and only had in its possession some second-hand instruments. New Dimension is undoubtedly one of Grenada’s most dynamic steel orchestras having amassed an impressive track record. Out of 18 appearances in the National Panorama Championships, the band has won eight times in 1988, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2003 and 2009, and placed second in 1994, 1999, 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and third in 1990 and 1998. In 2001 the band placed 3rd in the first ever Caribbean Panorama Championship, only narrowly being defeated by two bands from Trinidad. In 2002 New Dimension placed sixth in the World Steel Band Music Festival having only had one month to prepare. New Dimension Steel Orchestra is responsible for assisting eight schools involved in the Steel Band music program in Grenada, and is also one of the island’s leading entertainment groups, performing weekly at several top national hotels and on cruise ships. The band has been featured in the movie ‘White Squall’ and has appeared in several documentaries on Grenada’s Tourism Industry. |
