The World Steelband Music Festival started in 1952 as a category in the National Music Festival. But due to the interest and the big number of participants, the show is now staged independently at Pantrinbago. Each year the festival grows bigger and the standard of music gets better. Many top bands and pianists take part in it from all over the world. The finals are hosted outside Trinidad and Tobago.
The competition has different categories like the Orchestra, Single Pan and Minor which includes Soloists, Duets, Quartets, and Ensemble. Each band performs both a test piece and a choice piece in each round. If you visit Tobago this May you could be in time for the Laventille steel band festival. Many good bands take part in it and you could be there watching and dancing the night away. Trinidad and Tobago also has a host of other events happening in May like the harvest festivals and some golf tournaments.
The Bacolet Beach club in the Caribbean islands is the perfect place to stay when you visit Trinidad and Tobago. They have luxuriously appointed suites and their service is excellent. You could laze by the pool or sunbathe on the bay. If you are the partying kind there is a party happening in some place every evening. The adventurous types can go diving in the sea and enjoy other water sports like snorkeling and sailing.
