Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - It has been a Panorama season marked by uncertainty—mainly financial—for several steel orchestras in the ‘Home of Pan,’ resulting in several bands previously registered to participate in the annual competition - subsequently not taking part in the 2019 preliminary rounds. Most impacted was the small conventional category, where originally around fifty-seven were listed, but eventually forty-five vied for the thirty available slots going into the semi finals. In just a few days on Saturday February 16, each of those making the cut will have a potential shot at the title among the small bands when the finals unfold February 28.
