Pan Trin­ba­go pres­i­dent Bev­er­ley Ram­sey-Moore has giv­en the as­sur­ance that the North Stand will be com­plet­ed in time for the Panora­ma 2023 cham­pi­onships.

Speak­ing yes­ter­day at the draw for the or­der of per­for­mances for the Small Con­ven­tion­al Steel Or­ches­tra fi­nals, Ram­sey-Moore said this year’s Panora­ma sea­son will have many dy­nam­ic per­for­mances and will be rem­i­nis­cent of the 1963 Panora­ma.

She urged steel­bands to not get caught up in in­ter­nal squab­bles and said there should not be neg­a­tive com­pe­ti­tion among arrangers.

“We the band­lead­ers have to make sure the brand is the band and not the arranger,” she said.

For the Small Con­ven­tion­al Panora­ma fi­nals on Sat­ur­day, 16 steel­bands are ex­pect­ed to com­pete, in­clud­ing six from To­ba­go.
