The young lady that modeled is only human and as a human being some of us freeze up while on camera, and some of us love the camera. The opportunity wasn’t slipped away because we showcased our costumes, and we received positive feedback for the costumes; in fact they looked stunning. For the few bands that were chosen to display their costumes this week on Channel 11, they were not given the opportunity to promote the West Indian American Day Association, or their mas band. Despite the fact the young lady froze we were very grateful for the opportunity and hope to see you tomorrow for our band launching at Secrets.

Sorry for the misunderstanding but the entire week was showcasing different caribbean islands and today wasnt only to show case what a costume looks like it was suppose to be about TRINIDAD and Tobago. Why else would the reporter ask what ELSE is Trinidad known for? I am seeing the fault lies within the segment producer who made the choice of using a non Trinidad entity to represent the ISLAND. Usually they do have a West indian parade segement showcasing the mas but today was not what i expected to see.
