Its purpose here in the UK is to recognise the excellent work of the schools and their Steelbands, without the Classoramacompetition, the talents of these youngsters would otherwise go unnoticed.

This year the competition will host a Blockoramaelement where bands can perform their repertoire between 13:30 – 15.30. This gives the audience and other bands the opportunity to share the excellence of the schools aside from the competition.
