Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - “Pan in De Sancoche” with twenty-eight bands on display was live at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Trinidad after 4:00 p.m. local (Atlantic Standard Time) time, with a pre-show medley on pan performed by Joshua Regrello, and opening remarks by Pan Trinbago president Beverley Ramsey-Moore. A dance presentation accompanied by drumming followed, with the dancers then ushering on stage calypsonian Pharaoh singing the Mighty Terror’s classic “Pan Talent;” three panists also supported his rendition.
Traditional mas characters were next up, then guest artist Metro Stars Single Pan band. They treated the Grand Stand audience to two selections, before making way for the Single Pan band first up in competition, Stardust, a minute or two after five on the sunny and breezy afternoon.
