Something different unfolded this year in the Junior Panorama calendar. Instead of the usual staggered schedule, both the Under‑19 and Under‑21 categories held their finals together on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain. The Schools' Panorama Finals are still scheduled for Monday, January 19, but the youth bands showcased their talents a day earlier.
This post highlights the Under‑19 Finals, where St. Francois Valley Stars delivered a winning performance that captured the judges’ attention and the audience’s hearts. Their musical execution and youthful energy earned them the top spot in a competitive field. You can explore the music and judge the performances for yourself, as we list the full results for the category below.
Youth Panorama continues to evolve, and this year’s shift in scheduling gave the Under‑19 (players aged 18 and younger) and Under‑21 (players aged 20 and younger) players their spotlight—a well‑deserved moment for the next generation of pan excellence, showcasing their talent and potential in front of a larger audience.
The recording presented here from WeCapture showcases the top three places for the competition. There was a tie for second place. The results are posted here.
