Islandpride at SHINE
Hi All,
I know its been a while and it seems like the blog is suffering, but we have been so busy with our Islandpride experience that it seems like even Lolita has been sleeping on reminding us all to keep up!!! We seriously need some fairy dust to keep us active. The beat goes on!
Attached are some pics of Islandpride Statement pieces at signature costumes at Shine which was the first annual indoor after Carnival cool down fete and it was the first to many more to come. Islandpride was crowned the People's Choice Band of the Year and although Boston Carnival was rained out - these pictured Islandpriders sure did show up and have a BLAST!!!

ERS (Engine Room Section/Mud Band) Band Launching review
So this past Sunday, Island Pride was ever so present at the annual ERS band launching. This band launching is 'the' band launching to kick off the Boston Carnival season. I arrived around 7:30pm and immediately made my way through the growing crowd to find a spot with my fellow Island Priders. I find this band launching to be one of the best not only because of the vibes, which are very reminiscent of a New York backyard lime but also because of the venue (yard) where it is held and the organisation of the event itself.
After a couple of drinks I was well enjoying myself especially when Island Pride's official road DJ, The Chosen One, came on and really livened up the place. My only complaint would be the actual displaying of the the 'costumes- so to speak.' It was really difficult to actually see the presentation but I appreciate the fact that the people displaying the costumes were kind enough to make their way through the crowd a couple of times. In any case, since this is mud mas, people were more so there for the lime as opposed to the viewing of the mas. Everything finished up around 10:30 and I was pleased that I did make the effort to come out because it was worth it.
Also, speaking of big band launches, don't forget to check out Island Pride's bandlaunch on Saturday July 18th!! It will be taking place on Dunbar Avenue, across the street from Unity. The time is from 4:00pm-9:00pm!! Once we dazzle you with our 2009 Presentation-Let the Beauties Unfold we will be heading right over to Unity to continue the fun and excitement with our event being held that same night called Sutra-Dare to Stare so mark your calendars and prepare to spend your evening and night with Island Pride!!
