Each band will perform and showcase the depth of their repertoire and high level of musicianship.

The repertoire of music being presented at the concert will include classical, religious, national and patriotic songs, reggae, jazz, calypso and chutney. This show is one of the many calendar events being hosted by the National Commemoration Commission.
