Hell's Gate steel band went into the Panorama competition to prove that they are still the best having won the competition the previous year. The competition took place at Carnival City in St. John' Antigua and 'after the dust settled' Hell's Gate emerged as champions once again.
One very interesting note for this year's competition is that of the six bands that competed this year five of the bands selected a composition done by Calypsonian 'Short Shirt'!
The official sponsors of the competition was the Antigua Commercial Bank. It should also be noted that Hell's Gate was sponsored by Lime, Halcyon was sponsored by Digicel and Harmonites was sponsored by Carib Seas.
