Amassing a total of 428 points, Sea Operations Starlift Steel Orchestra were able to hold on to the Junior Panorama title at the Victoria Park on Thursday July Third.

 

Following on the heels of the Junior Calypso /Soca Monarch Competition two days before, and the Junior (Kiddies) Carnival on June 29^th, the young pannists upheld the hopes for the Carnival component whose future is most doubted by ‘pundits’.

 

Performing their rendition of the late calypsonian Reginald ‘Professor’ Cornwall’s ‘Mas In De Hospital’, the pan side, sponsored by Sea Operations SVG Ltd, outplayed eight other groups to take the title which they won last year.

 

In second place, performing Rumping On A Hump by De Rebel Band were the National Lotteries Authority Sion Hill Euphonium with 364 points

 

They narrowly edged out the Girls’ High School by three points;  who performed the Becket classic ‘Caribbean Girls’.

 

In fourth place were the Questelles Symphonix, followed by St.Joseph’s Convent Kingstown, sixth were the CW Prescod Primary School, with the Layou Government School seventh, Troumaca Primary School eighth and Union island/ Mandela Pan rounding out the competitors.
