The ACB Caribbean National School Panorama competition will return to the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium this year after being staged at the St John’s Port parking lot for the past two editions.
Event sub-chair Jerry Aska said the venue change was prompted by an increase in participating bands, with sixteen schools set to perform this Saturday.
Six primary and ten secondary schools will compete for the coveted titles. Pigotts Primary, last year’s winner, will not participate, leaving room for a new champion.
Bendals Primary, a newcomer, will open the show with _Swinging Engine_ by Burning Flames, followed by TN Kirnon, Sunnyside Tutorial, Villa Primary, Nelvie N. Gore, and Green Bay Primary.
In the secondary category, St Anthony’s Secondary will start with _A Plus Wine_ by Young Lyrics, followed by St Joseph’s Academy, Ottos Comprehensive, All Saints Secondary, and Irene B. Williams Secondary.
Defending champions Princess Margaret School will perform _Cape_ by Empress, while Antigua Grammar School and Clare Hall Secondary will also feature songs by the late Ricardo Drue and Empress. Newcomers Sir Novelle Richards Academy and Christ the King High School will close the show.
The competition begins at 4pm. Admission is EC$20 for adults and EC$5 for children.
