Finals Results - Small Conventional Steel Orchestras - Trinidad & Tobago Panorama 2016 - Arima Golden Symphony Triumphs

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. -   Arima Golden Symphony wins the Small Orchestra Panorama 2016 title, and in doing so, together with no doubt happy and proud champion arranger Terrance “BJ” Marcelle, racks up seven championships in the last eight annual competitions, having had the title wrested from them only in 2014, courtesy of then-small steel orchestra Supernovas.  Playing ‘D Greatest Invention’ by The Original De Fosto Himself, Arima Golden Symphony has undoubtedly proven itself the greatest ‘small steel orchestra’ in the twelve-year history of the category.

Three weeks after the respective small steel orchestra preliminary rounds, stiff competition left room for only the ten best out of an initial field of fifty-one to take the stage on finals night on February 4th at Skinner Park in south Trinidad.  Tornadoes Steel Orchestra playing Shervon “Shev” Edwards' arrangement of 'Mash It Up' which led the pack coming out of the prelims, eventually snagged third place in the finals with 275 points, while Arddin Herbert ensured a showing good enough for the second spot and a score of 279, just one point behind the 2016 champions.

The Small Steel Orchestra finals was combined as customary with those of the Single Pan Band category where there was a tie for the title, shared by Marsicans and Trinidad East Side Symphony. Now it's onto the finals for the Medium and Large band categories, the pinnacle of Panorama competition annually in the twin-island republic, on Saturday February 6th at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port-of-Spain. Showtime is slated for 7:00 p.m. local time.
