Grenada’s Number 1 steel orchestra!

New Dimension Steel Orchestra was formed in March of 1988 by a group of young people living in the capital, St. George.

From inception the band gave signal that it would be a tremendous musical force for in just six months New Dimension Steel Orchestra was able to capture the National Panorama Championships – Grenada’s most prestigious award. This achievement was very significant considering that the band was unsponsored and only had in its possession some second hand instruments.

New Dimension is undoubtedly one of Grenada’s most dynamic steel orchestras having amassed an impressive track record. Out of 12 appearances in Panorama the band has won seven times in 1988, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2003 and place second in 1994 and 1999 and third in 1990 and 1998.

In 2001 the band placed 3rd in the first ever Caribbean Panorama Championship only narrowly being defeated by two bands from Trinidad. In 2002 New Dimension placed sixth in the World Steel Band Music Festival having only had one month to prepare.

New Dimension Steel Orchestra is responsible for assisting eight schools involved in the Steel Band music program in Grenada, and is also one of the island’s leading entertainment groups performing weekly at several top hotels and on cruise ships. The band has featured in one movie ‘White Squall’ and has appeared in several documentaries on Grenada’s Tourism Industry.

In June of this year the band represented Grenada at the sixth Barbados Music Festival. Their performance was rated one of the best in the history of the festival.

New Dimension Steel Orchestra looks forward to participating in the Gemonites “Moods of Pan; Festival 2004” as well as again representing Grenada at the World Steel Band Music Festival in the UK in May 2005.
