i've played w/ Nationz the past 2 years in ronto. i had a blast both years, but the storming is ridiculous. while i do know that any band (and i'm sure most) get stormed, their popularity draws the most stormers ever. last year was just waaaay too much. definitely need more security or other measures cuz by the time the band crosses judging point its a wrap. and that judging point is literally rite outside the gate 2 main road.

trinidarkie - 2 be honest i cant even rememba to tell u. howeva in 2001 i did play w/ 1 band and they were pretty good and last year some girlfriends of mine played w/ some1 else and had a good time. when i recall the names i'll let ya know.

triniex - yeah u said it. i give them their props in terms of organization. mas camp is onpoint and they have things in order when in the stadium serving out food, drinks and whateva else to tend. i've actually dealt w/ Curtis (band leader) for a small issue and he looked out and fixed up 4 me in no time. i njoy playin mas at any carnival i go so i dont mind supporting the bands, but the storming is really outta control. soon as we leave the gate u can c all the piranha's waiting and as soon as we pass judges they feed on us. i walking w/ some sharks nex yr to handle them fackas.

i played with Carnival Nationz both years and i loved it. I never had a problem with registration or pick up.
Costumes 2005 were $125.......2006 went up to $135.
2005 they had online registraion but didn't in 2006. people who came from out of town had to call or organize with they people they knew in Toronto.who knows what this year will be like.
Carnival Nationz theme this year is " under the big top" circus type theme.
If you never been before it one to definitely experience and it see what its like for yourself. everyone i ever knew always said they well enjoyed themselves and came back year after year.
