A Reveler Speaks - Ellie

COSTUME PICTURES/SHOTS/IMAGES
What are your thoughts on band's professional costume shots on their sites?

For me, professional shots are ALWAYS a plus, they show intricate details and offer close-ups that no amount of photographing at a launch can do! Secretly, I’ve always wanted bands to do a ‘on the road’ video clip, to see the way a costume moves on the road even a 360 view would work too…maybe I’m being too ambitious….lol.

Are any shots important to your decision in picking a costume (front, back, side, headpieces or leg pieces)?

It’s important to see ALL angles of a costume; most times masqueraders are overseas and trying to get correct colors for accessories, make-up ideas, and things of that nature.

Do you think the pictures accurately portray costumes?
As long as there’s no hick-up during production…..yes!

Do you have any suggestions for the professional pictures/shots of costumes?

Proper lighting!! I can’t count how many times friends have been disappointed about the color of costumes, and not seeing details because of poor lighting, or bad angles.

ONLINE REGISTRATION
Does your band offer online registration?
Yes!!!

As an overseas reveler is that a service you would like to see offered?
It’s a MUST if a band is trying to reach a wider and international audience!

COSTUME COLLECTION
What do you think about costume collection?

Boy…..With my strange luck, my costume always missing, pieces missing, rhinestones always off… So out of fairness, I really shouldn’t answer the question!! Lol!

Did you have any issues?

Yes!! When do I NOT have issues with costume collection? One year I ended up working behind the collection desk for a band in Miami while they looked for my costume for 3 hours!!

Do you have any suggestions or advice that can help with costume distribution?

I understand how it can get confusing with hundreds/thousands of people flocking to a place to pick up costumes, there’s bound to be a hick-up somewhere! But all precautions should be made to at least try to avoid problems! More man-power, longer hours, triple checking lists with costumes…

BAR SERVICE ON THE ROAD
What did you think of on-the-road bar service?

If it wasn’t the occasional run after the truck – with my cup on the truck still – I would give it a gold star. But them drivers trying to catch up with the music truck was realllllll stresssss…..

Did your band deliver as promised?
Yes! They never run out of coconut water and JB till we reach last lap….

What suggestions do you have for bands, when it comes to bar service on the road?

Treat your revelers well!! If you say unlimited drinks, mean it….because next year, you just might lose them!! And don’t say premium when you giving people Popov instead of Grey Goose!!!

What suggestions do you have for bands, when it comes to restocking bars on the road?
Have designated stops synced with rest stops along the route!

SECURITY
What are your thoughts about on the road Security?

Security is ESSENTIAL to a band!!!! It’s not fair to pay nuff money for my costume, and have joe-shmoe from down the road come teef a wine, and teef drinks….not fair! Simple….keep masqueraders INSIDE and SAFE, and keep spectators, spectators!

Do you have any suggestions for/about security?
Keep all security uniformed (colored tees) and a rope helps!

MUSIC
What are your thoughts about music?
Any thoughts I had on music now have a new standard…..truck # 4 from TRIBE this year!!!!

Any suggestions about music/ music trucks?

DJ’s should play music for the PEOPLE!! Not themselves, they should know how to read the crowd, when to slow the pace of the music down, and when to get the people hype!!!

GENERAL INFO
What must your band do to keep you as a loyal reveler?

Keep doing what they’re doing! Offer new incentives to loyal revelers and surprises on the road would be nice!

Carnival Nationz Miami

CARNIVAL NATIONZ MIAMI

Caribana is next month, and I'm still teased by the "In Full Bloom" costumes. ... And as carnival addicts get their summer carnival fixes, before the major fix, Trinidad Carnival 2010, Carnival Nationz sets the scene for Fall of the recently consolidated Broward & Miami Carnivals.

"Picture this ... it’s October, getting colder in Toronto as Thanksgiving long weekend fast approaches ... dreams of sun, sea and sand on everyone’s mind ... yuh feet doh stop ‘cause somewhere around the world ah carnival is about to explode on stage ... ahhhhhhh where better to be in early Fall than in MIAMI ... playing mas with North America’s #1 Carnival masquerade band ... CARNIVAL NATIONZ – MIAMI in the 2009 rebirth of “One Miami Carnival. .... the timing is perfect to launch CNz Miami” - Carnival Nationz

But hear this, what I like most as a reveler ... if you buy and play mas with CNz in Toronto for Caribana, then you are automatically entitled to use that costume at Miami Carnival in CNz Miami – for a nominal band fee. So buy one costume and play mas at two of North America’s premier festivals. Of course if you wine-up too much during Caribana and yuh mash up yuh costume, then you can always purchase a brand new one specifically for Miami. Or you can even buy a brand new costume in a completely different section to the one you played in Toronto.
