Let medium and large bands clash

The judging of Panorama is all about music and not power, so at the semi-finals bands will have to bring their A game to qualify for 12 places on the final night to meet the reigning champion.

Over the years, medium bands have been playing just as good as, or even better than, the large bands and that’s a fact. This will make for an interesting showdown as it is musical tyranny for pan patrons to sit through 20 bands.

Small bands will continue with their own competition.

Maybe Pan Trinbago will want to look at this idea next year, as medium bands are rising to the challenge.
