Scarborough’s Market Square transformed into a vibrant hub of rhythm and energy on October 18 as the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) and Pan Trinbago hosted PanOmega, the official panorama competition for Tobago’s carnival. The event showcased the island’s rich steelpan culture, with bands competing across two categories: small and large. The competition kicked off with the small band category, where seven groups, including Alpha Pan Pioneers, Our Boys, and First Citizens Tobago Panthers, battled to unseat the reigning champions, T&TEC New East Side Dimension. The large band category saw Dixieland and RBC Redemption Sound Setters challenge the formidable Katzenjammers Steel Orchestra, who are seeking their fourth consecutive title. The event was a celebration of talent, tradition, and community spirit, with performances that captivated the audience and highlighted the enduring legacy of steelpan music in Tobago.
