Despite occasional grey skies and strong winds that kept spectators cool, the Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain, remained full of excitement as thousands of patrons gathered for the bpTT Panorama medium/ and large bands semifinals, dubbed Savannah Party.

Divided into the Grand Stand, North Stand, Greens, and (informally) the drag, the crowd revelled in the sweet sounds of 31 bands: 16 medium and 15 large on February 16.

The typically crowded North Stand was transformed into a lively mosaic of colours as supporters wore their band's T-shirts. Tables piled with food and drinks added to the festive atmosphere as fans formed their own rhythm sections.
