Republic Bank Exodus Steel Orchestra are back-to-back National Panorama champions.

In a heart-stopping finish at a sold-out Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain on Saturday night, the defending champions successfully retained their National Panorama Large Band title with Terrence “BJ” Marcelle’s muscular arrangement of Voice’s “Cyah Behave”, edging BP Renegades Steel Orchestra by a single point, 289 to 288.

It was the kind of result that left the Port of Spain Grand Stand buzzing long after the final note faded.
