Historical Tip Bits
The steelband was established in 1957 as Blue Stars, but ten years later acquired sponsorship from the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) and subsequently became known as T&TEC Power Stars. That relationship lasted for 41 years.

In 1958, as Blue Stars, the band gained widespread recognition for a performance it delivered at the then-Governor General's House grounds in honour of the official visit of Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret to Trinidad.
