PanMasters Steel Orchestra celebrates with championship trophy for Toronto Panorama Pan Alive 2026Toronto, Ontario, Canada - It was an upset; musical pandemonium reigned at Pan Alive 2026 for the Toronto Panorama, as the last competitor - PanMasters Steel Orchestra - took the title away from the band that triumphed in 2025, Pan Fantasy Steelband. The latter was aiming for its twelfth consecutive title; instead PanMasters clinched the championship when they executed arranger Rudo Forteau’s music reenvisioning the late legendary calypsonian Shadow’s Feeling the Feeling.
....It is the first Panorama championship for PanMasters led by veteran panman Tommy Crichlow. The first-time collaboration between New Dimension Steel Orchestra and Tobagonian arranger Micheal Toby—resident arranger for Redemption Sound Setters—resulted in third place.
