Grenada's New Dimension Steel Orchestra in the Spotlight

[Pan Times]

New Dimension steel band was formed in March of 1988 by a group of young people living in St. George the capital Grenada. From inception the band gave signal that it would be a tremendous musical force for in just six months New Dimension Steel Band was able to capture the National Panorama Championships – Grenada’s most prestigious award. This achievement was very significant considering that the band was un-sponsored and only had in its possession some second hand instruments. New Dimension is undoubtedly one of Grenada’s most dynamic steel orchestras having amassed an impressive track record. Out of 13 appearances in the National Panorama Championships the band has won eight times in 1988, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2003, 2009 and placed second in 1994, 1999, 2004, 2006 and 2008 and third in 1990 and 1998.
