The National Panorama competition for conventional steel orchestras got going at Arima Velodrome, Hollis Avenue, Arima on Friday evening and pan music lovers got a treat. The small and medium bands had their chance to excite the judges as they look for a place in the semi-final this weekend.
The competition started at 6.30 pm and ran for about seven hours with some very good arrangements by the young arrangers thereby bringing this year’s Panorama theme of “Excitement and Excellence” to the fore.
Playing in position number five, Arima Golden Symphony provided patrons with seven minutes and 42 seconds of excitement as they played Terrence “BJ” Marcelle’s arrangement of De Fosto’s “D Greatest Invention”.
Potential Symphony also left their mark as they played “Nostalgia” as composed and arranged by Carlan Harewood.
