Defending champions, San Juan East Side Symphony, emerged with the highest score of 266 points for their rendition of the Aldwyn Roberts' composition “Guitar Pan” arranged by Carlan Harewood. They will perform at position number 16. First off the starting block is Stardust with Errol Ballantyne’s “Party Time”. Two (2) Tobago based bands, Metro Stars and Royal Pan Illusion made the cut and will play at numbers 5 and  24 respectively.

After several intense days of steelpan music, the qualifiers were announced at Murchison Brown Auditorium, Post of Spain City Hall, on Wednesday morning before the bands’ representatives.
