It is that time again... Pan, sweet Pan. We are talking about medium and large conventional bands Panorama 2023. On Sunday, February 5th. 2023, at the Queens Park Savannah, the creme de la creme bands will compete for a place in the finals to determine the champions for each category. Tobago's Uptown Fascinators have repeated as champions for 2023 and have cemented their place in Steel Band competition history. Moving forward, it is time for the medium and large bands to compete and leave patrons in awe!
Scheduled to perform are fourteen fifteen medium and fourteen (14) Large Conventional bands; this competition is entitled "Savannah Party". So what do you have to look forward to, apart from sweet pan, well, the North Stand is back! This is where the action is, engine room sounds, and food galore. This is the area where the action takes place, feting and jamming take place, unlike the calm of the Grand Stand.
Those who are fortunate to fete in TnT for this event can enter the Grand Stand for TT$300.00 and the North Stand for TT$400.00. International viewers can purchase the feed for US$20 from WACKTV. Link here for the WACK feed link to purchase the feed: Wack TV - Home
