the art of playing 'mas'- " Fireworks 2000"

This band used the headpieces to represent the fireworks. We also explored the use of the sailor costume for this band. There is so much flexibility with the sailor mas. The students learned the sailor dance from folk artist Earl Gordon. He donated his time to this task willingly and we all thank him for it!

Stilt walking was introduced. The students were given classes in stilt walking, outside of carnival time. This picture is taken at a Heritage Festival event.
