Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - With the intensity of the National Panorama Single Pan preliminaries for the 2025 season behind them, qualifying bands from Northern, Eastern, South/Central and Tobago are now ready for the December 14 Single Pan Bands Finals. The Order of Appearance is now known.
Forty-two bands competed in the preliminaries, which also served as the elimination or qualifying phase (depending on your point of view), as there are no Semi-finals this season. The top twenty-five bands will each showcase their best musical game on final night in front of steelband music fans at the Grand Stand, Queen’s Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain.
Chord Masters Steel Orchestra led by champion arranger André White will defend its title from position six in the lineup, as the musical collaboration continues into its third season. They are going for championship number three in this category. Marsicans Steel Orchestra will be first on stage in the finals.
Showtime time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. AST (Atlantic Standard Time).
The Order of Appearance for the finalists follows:
