Flag of the Saint Vincent & the GrenadinesKingstown, St. Vincent & the Grenadines  - For the 2016 St. Vincent and The Grenadines Panorama competition, the number of participating steel orchestras declined another year; only five bands – Starlift, South East, Symphonix, Sion Hill and Elite (in that order) graced the stage for this year’s show. In 2014 there were eight, and last year, seven. Nevertheless there was much great music to be had for the “steelband lover in you” on this Carnival Thursday night as Steel [Panorama] and Glitter [Mas Bands], (as the overall event is called), took place at Carnival City, Victoria Park in Kingstown.

The eventual 2016 champs Sion Hill Euphonium Steel Orchestra, clad in white—the nattily-attired gentlemen in their suits with hats in some cases, and ladies complementing the presentation in one-piece off-shoulder jumpers—took to the stage in the penultimate position not too long after 10:30 p.m.
