MIAMI CARNIVAL HEATING UP

XTASY MAS

Then we have XTASY mas, their band launch will have Mr Benjai himself performing and Florida's own Sizwe alongside!  That launch will be the week before Gen X's launch Saturday, June 23rd.  The one thing I noticed immediately on this flier is that there is a picture with a striking resemblance to  Island People Mas' costume from 2009 displayed on the front. Its actually the 2012 costume Parasite from Ronnie and Caro.  Its not that big of a deal because event planners do it all the time, but to be a mas band that has had mas for 2011, I thought it would be a better look to place a costume from THAT BAND, no?

Any way, its starting to look a lot like carnival in South Florida and I'm liking it. The first to announce their band launch was Generation X. Gen X was smart, they got a contract to be the ONLY band to display their costumes at the 1st big event in I don't know how long in South Florida which is KES on Saturday, June 30th and have marketed the concert as their band launch! Freakin GENIUS!!! 

From what I'm hearing Giselle 'The Wassi One' hasn't determined when her band Wassi Ones will launch officially but we're expecting to see a date around late July, early August.  Wassi Ones will be celebrating 25 YEARS ON THE ROAD!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO

XTASY MAS WEBSITE IS UP!!!!!

Good day peeps, things have been a little rough with the new one and all but things are getting back to normal slowly but surely.  Well, Xtasy Mas has joined forces with Fun Generation Mas.  Fun Generation Mas is presenting their Phases Of The Moon and Xtasy Mas will be holding down the section of Harvest Moon.  I was unable to go to the band launch last weekend (for the obvious reasons) but you can checkout the new website HERE and you can check out the costume Harvest Moon HERE

Im sitting here laughing to myself because like this year these section leaders are taking in front because just like Adalia Mas and Island Gems Mas has done with Wassi Ones, so has Xtasy Mas with Fun Generation.  The bands themselves have not gotten their websites together as yet but these section leaders have their sections, costumes, websites and registrations up and more than ready to go. Some have even sold out!!!!!! Carnival, you just gotta love it!
