Forty conventional orchestras and 33 Single Pan bands are registered to do battle in the TSTT-sponsored event.
The musical journey commences in Tobago with adjudication of three conventional bands (Katzenjammers, NLCB Buccooneers, Our Boys) and two Single Pan ensembles (Dem Boys, Metro Stars).

Single Pan Bands will have theirs at The Paddock, Queen's Park Savannah, on April 15, while Conventional orchestras' is carded for the following day, April 16, at Queen's Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain. Starting time for both events is 7 pm.
The Pan Down Memory Lane competition is open to all financial Single Pan bands whilst conventional steel orchestras will be judged in the Pan in the 21st Century competition.
