Phase II remained an un-sponsored steel orchestra until 1999, when a sponsorship agreement was signed between the band and the oil company Petrotrin.
From its inception, Phase II Pan Groove performed original compositions in steelband competitions.
At the national Panorama competitions, Phase II elected to perform pieces specifically composed and arranged for the instrument by its leader and musical director, "Boogsie."
At the Steelband Musical Festival, "Boogsie" has been dubbed the Mozart of Pan by foreign adjudicators, as his compositions have been able to stand alongside those of the great classical masters.
At the Festival of 1986, the band captured third place, performing "Dance of the Douens" composed by "Boogsie".
