The race to Trinidad and Tobago Carnival 2011 heated uop yesterday as Spice joined the other bands launched thus far and started registration. There was a little hiccup online with Spice's website but this was remedied a few hours later. The only thing to note is that online registration is only for those living outside of Trinidad and Tobago, locals have to register in person.
After seeing
Carnival Jumbie's photo of a solitary figure waiting to register when the mas camp opened around noon, I headed there after work to see if the crowds had picked up. I am happy to report that by the time I got there potential masqueraders were streaming in and out the Show Room and I also inquired of a few who were there if they were there to register and got the affirmative answer. So, it may have been a slower pace than their neighbor's one street over but looks like Spice is finishing this race slow and steady... well I hope so!
Since YUMA is walking distance from Spice I decided to see how Day 2 of their registration was shaping up. The show room was packed with people viewing costumes and I did see a few exiting the door that is at the separate entrance for registration. Aquarius Individual was on show and when I asked if it was available still I was told ALL YUMA's Individual Costumes have been sold with the exception of Taurus Male. Way to go YUMA, those costumes are not cheap with a starting price of $12,000.00TT but they do come with promises of VIP service of the road and loads of extras. No wonder so many Individual Masqueraders left another band to go over to YUMA!
Harts Mas Camp was the quietest of the three, all withing walking distance of each other, but they also boast two SOLD OUT Sections, Chryscolla and Howlite.
Island People opens their Mas Camp tomorrow so it will be interesting to see their first day response and registrations continue this weekend with Island People Past Masquerader Registration and TRIBE's first phase of TLC registrations. Although TRIBE and Bliss have been pretty quiet I bet come Sunday TRIBE will once again hold the distinction of being the first band to be completely SOLD OUT for the Carnival 2011 Season.
