With all the attention placed on the "Pan in the 21st Century Conventional Bands" Finals Competition, we must not forget about the "Pan Down Memory Lane Single Pan" competition. Some have stated that the ideas used for the musical arrangements by the bands in the "Pan Down Memory Lane" competition were superior to those in the "Pan in the 21st Century" competition.
While many stated that most conventional bands lacked imagination with their arrangements, that was not the case for the Pan Down Memory Lane Competition. We extend congratulations to Chord Masters Steel Orchestra on their victory; they will take home "The Patrick Arnold Challenge Trophy" and prize money. In second place was "D'Original Woodbrook Modernairs," while Nostrand Symphony came in third.
We celebrate all the bands that made it to the finals and delivered interesting arrangements for this competition. We have included the winning performance by Chord Masters. While the recording is not of the best quality, it does not overshadow the beautiful sounds heard.
