The Cabinet is currently evaluating a proposal to host the Senior Panorama Competition at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, drawing inspiration from the triumphant execution of this year’s Junior Panorama. The initiative aims to rejuvenate the national steelband showcase by replicating the successful two-stage format that captivated audiences during the 44th Independence Anniversary celebrations. Maurice Merchant, the Director General of Communications, highlighted that Cabinet members were particularly impressed by the Junior Panorama’s vibrant performances, robust youth engagement, and exceptional crowd turnout. These factors have spurred discussions about adopting a similar structure for the Senior Panorama during Carnival, with the goal of enhancing production quality, enriching audience experiences, and bolstering the event’s cultural significance. Merchant emphasized that further consultations with key stakeholders in the cultural sector will be conducted before finalizing the decision. Additionally, Cabinet extended commendations to the Ministry of Festivals and its team, led by Minister Daryll Matthew, for their outstanding contributions to the success of the Independence celebrations.
