The year was 1997 when Renegades Steel Orchestra won the National Panorama competition playing 'Guitar Pan' sung by Lord Kitchener; the arranger was the late great one Jit Samaroo. Now fast forward to 2018 and your calculations are correct, it took another twenty one (21) years for Renegades to win again, this time securing title number ten with ace music arranger Duvone Stewart!.It is time to celebrate... congratulations to the Renegades organization; well deserved and long overdue!
Panorama is one of the most anticipated events to take place for Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. Every year the Saturday before King Carnival takes to the streets 'Pan is Boss'! This year lived up to expectations especially the music from the Large Band Category. Massy Trinidad All Stars came in as the defending champions but with a daunting task to ensure that the preliminary and semi final round leader, Renegades, did not wrest the title from them.
It turned out to be classic 'pan in yuh pwefen'! The performances were fantastic but in the end there was one champion! BP Renegades took first place playing a song by Aaron St. Louis entitled "Year For Love". Congratulations to the band and to the music genius arranger Duvone Stewart!
