The New Dimension Steel Orchestra is one of the biggest and most popular steel orchestras on the island of Grenada, located in the town of St. George’s. The band is approximately thirty-one years old with over ninety members from age as young as seven. The band has different sections such as the single tenor, double tenor, high seconds, guitars, four cellos and basses (4, 6 and 10).

A board of committee members, band captain and musical director head the steel orchestra. The band has been successful over the years, placing in the top three in national Panorama competitions.

The musicians of New Dimension Steel Orchestra see themselves as a family, not just as members of a group.
