The National Under-21 Panorama finals took place at the Big Yard, in front of the Grand Stand at Queens Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain., Trinidad. The song selections, the musical arrangements, and the joy seen on the faces of the players bode well for the future of the steelpan in the land that created the instrument. Tonight, a new champion was crowned best steelband orchestra for the National Under 21 category. "BP Renegades Youth Steel Orchestra" emerged winning playing Voice's "Woman" amassing a total score of 276 points."
This was a difficult category to judge because of the talent involved. No one wanted to be a judge in this category. Yes, the performances were that good! We will follow suit and follow DJ Aaron's comment from Savannah that this could only happen in Trinidad and Tobago. #OnlyInTrinidad!
