Anatomy of Panorama 2023 - Quick Chart - Trinidad & Tobago National Steelbands - Conventional Steel Orchestra Music Competition

The Quick Chart for the Trinidad and Tobago steelband season showcases the complete listing of the conventional steel orchestras participating in the 2023 Panorama - all in one place, constantly updated.  Biographies and histories of the competing orchestras, and arrangers with pictures are featured, along with the bands’ respective tunes of choice for easy access and listening, where available.  Get up to date with all the data at your fingertips.

There are three categories in the annual Panorama competition of conventional orchestras - small, medium and large.  Bands in the Quick Chart are highlighted within these specific sections, and further sub-divided in each by color-coding to reflect the four regions of the country the steel orchestras hail from:  North, East, South/Central and Tobago.  These regional designations, or zones, as they were also previously referred to, have been in place for years and are overseen by the governing body for the Pan—the country’s national instrument—Pan Trinbago.  The body is also the organizer and promoter of the annual Panorama.
