Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - The 2025 season of the Single Pan preliminaries played out across the country from November 22 through 30, 2024.  Participants from the Northern, Eastern, South/Central and Tobago regions performed before the panel of judges in their respective zones over an eight-night period.

This season the stakes were a bit higher, as there is no semi-final round. Instead, it is directly on to the final night competition on December 14. Chord Masters Steel Orchestra is facing twenty-four challengers to its throne, as the band defends its title while going for the hat trick, led once again by champion arranger André White. The band is off to a good start, as it has the top score of 273 heading into the home stretch of competition. 

Previous Single Pan finals have been held at the Arima Velodrome in Arima, east Trinidad. This time around as per the last couple of years, the show comes off at the Grand Stand, Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain. Starting time is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. AST (Atlantic Standard Time).
