The competition continues, and today we present the musical arrangement of the Nutrien Silver Stars rendition of Aaron "Voice" St. Louis' "Too Own Way." As the song's title suggests, Ojay Richards and Kersh Ramsey had to take their own approach, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it.
The arrangement brought a fresh and exhilarating twist to the beloved tune. From the very first note, the audience was captivated by the intricate harmonies and rhythmic complexities that the Silver Stars are renowned for. The steel pan players showcased their exceptional skills, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and emotionally stirring.
As the performance progressed, the energy in the Savannah continued to build. The audience was on their feet, dancing and cheering as the Silver Stars delivered one stunning musical passage after another. Richards and Ramsey's arrangement, a masterclass in musical storytelling, guided the listeners through the highs and lows of the song's narrative.
The fans are expecting their band to be in the next round of competition. We wish the band and all their fans much success as the competition heats up. Stay tuned for more updates on the Panorama 2025 competition and the incredible performances from all the participating bands.
