(2) St. Margaret Boys' won the Primary Schools Panorama for the 1th time since 2004.
(3) Renegades Youths with arranger Andrew Charles won their 5th consecutive Junior Panorama for a total of 11 wins since 2002.
(4) St. Francois Girls College with arrangements from Rorry Aleong won the High Schools Panorama for the sixth time in eight years. They now share the lead with St. Augustine Secondary for most wins with 8.
(5) Miss Vanessa Headley composed the music, wrote the lyrics, vocalized the melody, arranged and led Golden Hands to victory at the Small Bands Panorama.

(7) Duvone Stewart led Renegades to their 10th Large Panorama win after a 20 year slump.

I see growth in the arena, for sure but still.....Liked that there was so much in the bass as DesperUS a line to remember. a.k.a working in in the tenOR base. Yet NYC bands have no home. No place to call their own. Go to the ATM spell IT backwards. Been there, done that, Got hurt. #neverAgain
