Ha ha...yuh jus have to chip around and do the choreographed thing, not much jammin and grindin, if any, at least that was my experience.

In 2006, I played mas in Grenada in this band with the theme "Sailor in Yuh Sailor" whatever that meant. The guy that produced the mas band was a noted playwright. I was in a section called Deckhands, mostly guys, and we all had mops and had to twirl them when the main man said twirl...It was an experience but I aint doing it again. Not my thing.

dais one of dem old peope sailor bands? dey have pan on de road? Slu have one like dat old people chipping in dey sailor ting

LOl....why you ask? Too many bulllerish looking men. you will never get old enough for that ish....

Not really, it wasnt supposed to be the ole mas thing. We had a nice sounding music truck with soca, Soca Banton was on our truck singing Ova Yuh Head, etc. But true, the band wasnt full of your normal get-on-bad type of young masqueraders.

oh iight.

Monday and Tuesday for the mas bands. They also have Monday Night mas which are T-Shirt bands with corporate sponsors. Plenty wining then.

Not sure about the motivations but types of people? All kinds, older people, conservative people, artistic people, probably some gays, there was a few handicapped people, maybe some public figures, etc. I play mas with my wife so I dont have wining and grinding as a high priority although I can and I do sometimes when the opportunity arises.

This site is phucked up...any way this is too funny "when the opportunity arises"

dat catch you to eh

LOL...Hey, not easy playing mas with the wifey when surrounded by all these pretty ladies with skimpy costumes. In St. Lucia Carnival last July, the ladies in our mas band were doing this dance called the Tik-Tok after the song on the SLU riddim called Tik-Tok by Alpha; You know, like the clock tic-toc tic-toc. In unison, they would all raise one cheek, then the other cheek, all to the beat of the music....OMG, that was insane, and thats why I play mas...for moments like that! I will not be forgetting that scene.

Not sure that dance is so easy to do...I see some can do it much better then others.
