The Antigua Girls High School has won its third straight Independence ACB Schools\u2019 Panorama competition last evening at the Antigua Recreation Grounds.
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The girls put on a wonderful rendition of \u2018Steelpan War\u2019 which, by all accounts, narrowly edged second-place finisher Antigua Grammar School who responded with its rendition of \u2018Nobody go run me\u2019. Clare Hall Secondary placed third playing their interpretation of Claudette Peter\u2019s \u2018Dung Dey\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom my perspective,\u201d said Panorama chairman Jerry Aska, \u201cI would say we had a successful show.\u201d
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCongratulations to the winners who were aptly assisted by the teachers, arrangers, members of the committee and all those who came out to support the children last night.\u201d
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The difference in sound between first and second place was \u201cnegligible\u201d according to many pan enthusiasts in attendance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principal of second-place AGS Sam Roberts and pan enthusiast in his own right, said of the difference between the schools that, \u201cAfter we played, in my mind, we came first.\u201d
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we were more controlled, and better executed and there wasn\u2019t a great difference in music that both bands had. So, I don\u2019t envision when I look at the score sheet that the margin is going to be great.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AGS principal went out of his way, however, to congratulate the AGHS team: \u201cI\u2019d really like to congratulate the girls from the Antigua Girls High School. They\u2019ve been pretty dominant over the past four years.\u201d
<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The primary schools were not to be outdone, however, as the Pigotts Primary School emerged victorious with Villa Primary in second and Sunnyside Tutorial rounding in third place.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both Aska and Roberts went on to commend the overall improvement in the production of the junior show while imploring for schools to have their own pan equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSchools need pans,\u201d said Roberts.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to thank the senior bands for lending us pans. If we want to put on a panorama, we need to get serious and really equip and fund the schools so that we can do that. What you saw last night is what is possible. But, it is not going to possible if the school has to use its own resources to do it.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aska added that, \u201cWe would want to see the establishment or a rebirth of a junior panorama orchestra.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to find another avenue or inducement for those young students.\u201d<\/p>\n
