Under the theme, El Corazón de Parranda (The heart of parang), the youth from 39 primary and secondary schools across TT showed much gusto in their performances as they vied for the champion spot as well individual prizes that were being offered.

The competition also saw performances from locally-based international schools – La Casita Hispanic Cultural Centre and the LLI International Bilingual School.
