If you still have your costume and you plan on going to Miami carnival you can contact your section leader directly or the Borokeete Mas camp for additional registration information. All Borokeete members who played with us this year in our Beauty of the Dark Continent presentation for the NY Labor Day carnival parade are invited to participate. Borokeete members you now get to wear your Labor Day carnival costume's twice. However, you will be required to pay the new band fee as the entire band was invited to participate in Miami carnival...

That is excellent.
Now that is what ny mas bands should do.
get 2 carnivals out of the mas.
I know my band members where able to play in boston first if they wanted to.

Hey JT.. Thanks mama. I know you know that yuh have to have a real unconditional love for our Carnival culture when doing it in the US. But yeah we decided to support Miami carnival this year and with the economy being as bad as it is presently. Some people are really not going to have the opportunity to make it home to the caribbean for carnival.

BTW congrats as well and good job doing your thing as well on the parkway for labor day.

Good for you.

That's great that you are trying to get her to learn and also be connected with her Caribbean heritage/background. My buttercup is only 5 but she is a natural mas lover. She loves to work very close with me designing, gluing and playing with the beads/feathers. So in her school I teach a mas making workshop and the kids all have a blast making the costumes.

Hey Mr Brazlian DerMonger...lol Thanks! Did you come down to NY for Labor day? I'm going to be hosting one of your type of carnivals soon. So I'll send you a personal invite to that one because I know you'll like this one.

My neice's mom in as American, too. I want the little girl to play mas next year but I don't know how to describe it to her Mom. She is from down South (in the country) and has never seen a West Indian carnival.

No I iz a Guyanese to de bone,lol....... but ah love dey carnaval. I did not make Labor Day, hopefully next year, I haven't been in a dozen years since attending my only one.

Make sure you take a jump for us not attending Miami and take some pics if possible. I would like to go there, that's the only MAJOR N.American W.I Carnival I haven't been to. Only problem is it'd interrupt my winter plans.

Thanks for yuh invite, I dunno if you'd want me attending, dey party style a lil too rowdy for de average W.Indian where I go,lol.

yea dali luvs being in mas .. she luv be in parade .. even tho she acted up bad during it .. but she luv wave her jamaican flag .. (lol @ i put my italian flag in d stroller too x; lol ) hopefully since next yr she'll not act up so since it will be her 3rd yr playn mas @ the children parade .. n 2nd yr in d big Labor Day Monday parade ..n that she will be 4 yrs old by then





have your niece mom contact me .. let me kno if you want her too .. i'll explain it and maybe even get her to want to have your niece definitely participate in it .. lemme kno if you wan her to reach me .. b/c i feel dat children wid West Indian heritage should play mas b/c its they culture and it teaches them what they couldnt otherwise learn .. n they have fun too ....
