Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - St. Francois Valley Stars and Invaders Youth Steel Orchestra laid claim to the championship titles and trophies in their respective categories, in the Trinidad and Tobago 2026 National Junior Panorama on Sunday January 18. The staging was the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain.
The ten top 19 and Under steel orchestras, together with the top twelve in the 21 and Under group delivered memorable performances, as they put excellent musical stamps celebrating all the hard work put in for this year’s competition.
St. Francois Valley Stars continued their legacy of having the most championships in the national Junior Panorama arena, this year in the 19 and Under grouping. Invaders Youth Steel Orchestra took top honors in the 21 and Under category.
Customarily, the competition on this day would encompass Primary and Secondary steel orchestras in final competition, with the overall event held in collaboration with the country’s Ministry of Education. This year, the school steel orchestras compete in their own separate finals competition on Monday January 19 in San Fernando, organized by the ministry.
