shabine!!!! wah yuh warh know, look we here...
CC is usually saturated with mas related threads about costumes etc. Honestly speaking, that part of Carnival does nothing for me. I have never played mas, and so I hardly ever come in this forum. Anything else you need to know though, from the shows, the music, the limes, the air, the beaches, the food, please ask away. Its Carnival season baby... I cant wait.  |

Mawnin' shabine...as yanks stated I have never played mas either so all i can say is to check
http://antiguacarnival.com/mas.htm which provides the links to all the major mas troupes in Wadadli. All I can say is that the troupes do it up wid alot of nice pre-mas parties and limes to get you amped up for the road. You have heard correctly though..Antigua Carnival wikked no fleck and is plenty betta than what BET showed. |

On the Sunday before jouvert, there is the Calypso Monarch competition which is one of the biggest of the CDC shows. There is also Lions Den, where Flames perform on their truck as opposed to the stage that night because at 4am, they headed right out onto the road. There are usually other fetes as well, I believe bands also play at the now defunct Jolly Roger parking lot. People also just lime around town in or rest up in preparation for jouvert. |

Well technically yes...buh many of the jambands still fine tuning and ting so at exactly 4am is usually the steel bands an maybe de iron bands on de road. Shabine...I hope u can withstand no sleep from Sunday til Wednesday @jahprikme:from pics I saw u post from TNT carnival u was limin' wid some man I know from Xtreme's so if dat yuh pardna then I would suggest dem. However, all the mass troupes in Dadli are fun from Dynamics (RHF Troupe), to Passions and Revellers. |

Dynamics adult mas band looking noiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!! I am pleasantly surprised .....i find this years costumes looking the best I've seen from them in a long while. I'm disappointed in Xtreme this year..the men's costumes are plain and stale, and the women only have three sections dat really cute and dem dun sell out. I goin' to check what Passions have goin' on right now. De bmobile chune nice  |
