<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>Another fete review from blogger Carnival Stats who was in Barbados for Crop Over 2013!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This was the 6th edition of <b>Island Mas' Breakfast Party</b>, which started
back in 2008. a truly unique fusion of trini-bajan culture.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The event started at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1984890334" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">7:30 am</span></span> and was carded to go til <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1984890335" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">2:30 pm</span></span>, however, my friends and I arrived at about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1984890336" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">11 am</span></span>... <i><b>typical trini thing</b></i>.
By the time we got there the sun was out in full force and the event
well underway. Received complimentary drinks on entry which we wasted
no time in putting away before heading to one on the 4 bars on site.
The wait for drinks wasn't long and the stock was premium. Shout out to
Kevin Clarke.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The Venue of it self was nice, the set up effective, easy access to
bars, space to "roll that batty" and safe even for wedges :). My only
issues with the venue were the heat and limited bathrooms. At one
point I actually thought the event had relocated to the surface of the
sun. Thank heavens for the huge cool air fan thingie, the water hose and
the strips running across the tent frame.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
Missed the first few Djs, (sorry about that Penthouse). Shurwayne's
performance was up to standard as usual, and enjoyable. The real thing
from Tobago. Me being a big Edwin Yearwood fan I enjoyed his
performance immensely and Jus Jase definitely represented well for the
trinis. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
The food... can I just say... damn. <span style="text-align: left;">Waterside
Restaurant provided lunch and it was great!Garlic potatoes, fish,
chicken, pasta, mac pie, fish cakes (accra) salads. The options were
wide and tasted lovely.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Trini Doubles were also on hand and you never go wrong with doubles in a fete.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As
a first timer to Barbados/Cropover, i must say it was a good
experience, now that i know the ropes i will be back again next year! We
used <a href="http://www.facebook.com/trplefservices" target="_blank"><b>Trple F Services</b></a> to arrange the major tickets and i am glad we
did, so a massive thanks to them for their professionalism and overall
help.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Soca
Titans</b> - Fantastic is all
i can say and i will explain why, coming from a country where nothing
is ever organised they pulled it off. A must for me next year!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Bliss
</b>- Jeez the venue far but it was gorgeous. Loved everything about this
fete. Knew it was going to be an upmarket event and it didn't
disappoint. Drinks flowing till we left. The food queue was wayyyyyyyyy
too long and not enough food stations. Strangely enough this was the one
fete people were very friendly so a bit confused why people think it is
snobby!</span></span></div>

got on, the boat stank but the whole atmosphere was absolutely off and
we were slightly terrified as a group of very
aggressive guys were talking about shanking someone who had
disrespected them earlier. But we were just pissed off with the whole
disorganisation so we got off and went home to drink our cheap bottle of
wine! Our mistake, next year we will stick to strictly Bajan

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overall
we loved cropover and was surprised to hear some Barbadians complaining
about a lot, my friend and myself looked at each other and laughed
hard. If only they knew that all the events that happened could never
have gone smoothly where i come from, but then i guess we all have to
strive for
excellence. </span></span></div>

Did you miss me? We had a great Crop Over season in Barbados, though a little man called Ernesto tried to (literally) rain on our parade. More on that later, but for now, Bajan Cherry is heading over to Trinidad. Here's the latest:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The two "top" breakfast parties are currently without a license to party. Sunnyside Up and Vale Vibe have gotten the residents of Diego up in arms over noise complaints. It is <b>alleged </b>by some that all has to happen is someone's palm has to be greased. <i>Quelle horreur </i>if that's true! But in Trinidad, the show must go on!</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CeMmMaJeKIk/SfwKStAaJ5I/AAAAAAAAGq4/8jyDWLd9Q_w/Sad%20breakfast%20from%20Miskellaneous.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CeMmMaJeKIk/SfwKStAaJ5I/AAAAAAAAGq4/8jyDWLd9Q_w/Sad%20breakfast%20from%20Miskellaneous.jpg" height="304" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Speaking of rumours, the assault charge Machel Montano was found guilty on had sentencing put off until after Carnival. If your girlfriend is <b>allegedly </b>Aunty Kamla's family anyway you know you're safe. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">NEXT! The famous Crop Over events <b>Booze Cruise</b> and <b>Roast Cruise</b> have both decided to hold cruises Carnival Sunday. Booze is supposed to have Lil Rick on board as well as Anya Ayoung-Chee. Well this is interesting. It is quite poetic in the case of Booze Cruise as it would be a homecoming to the Harbour Master boat, as we profiled in our <i>article </i>it has been in Trinidad since last year. Great to see the Bajans keeping the Caribbean unity alive!</span></li>
</ul>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Speaking of people who throw cruises in other islands: <b>Scorch </b>seems to have expanded its Carnival Saturday Block-O and instead of the intimate grassy St. Clair setting, is rumored to be in Jean Pierre complex this year. For those of you new to Carnival, it's basically a stadium. So doubtful it will have the same vibe. Scorch will not be on my calendar this year. </span></li>

So plenty of people have been asking, is Bathsheba on this year? I can say...yes, yes it is! One person behind it has left since they were not happy with the direction it was taking, but this year's event is on, just by invite only (check <a href="http://www.facebook.com/trplefservices" target="_blank">TrpleF Services</a> for invites) and not all-inclusive. Hmm...let's hope this is a good change!</div>

A favourite Crop Over Friday event with those in the know, Roast Cruise
has been responsible for many scores of attendees being useless to
themselves for at least 24 hours after for some time now. See their
mention on our <a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/05/crop-over-calendar-2012.html" target="_blank">calendar</a>. We got the Roast guys to answer our <b>7 Questions</b>:</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><b><i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tell
us the concept behind the Cruise – how did it start?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Originally we had started a Facebook Group asking
people to upload pictures of their friends in their most drunk moment, and
pretty soon over 500 people had joined the group. Eventually, we began
receiving requests to do an event and after checking the crop over calendar, we
found that there was a void on the Friday afternoon of the weekend before
Kadooment. So began the Roast Cruise. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><b><i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For
the non-Bajans and newcomers, what does ‘Roast’ actually mean?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Roast is most commonly associated with a state of
drunkeness, but for us its more of a state you are left in after extreme partying
which not only includes lots of drinks and shots, but quality
entertainment at a great price. Many of our satisfied patrons are unable to
attend other events being held on the same day after ours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">

the average Roast attendee - what are they like?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Beautiful people and who love to party usually
between the ages 20 to 45 </span></div>

does Roast Cruise bring to Crop Over that was not present before?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">History shows that people coming in to Barbados
for Crop Over usually came in on a Friday to enjoy the "last lap" of
activities. But events like Roast Cruise have been able to provide people who
are serious about partying, with an opportunity to come to the island earlier
in the week and enjoy another quality event at a time when people would rather
be partying than being well you know... at work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">

partnered in the pasts with Bash Brothaz (who hold the popular Crop Over event
Frazzled) in a bus ride – how did that go?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Broasted - The Bus Ride was a success.Two buses,
almost 100 ppl, free punch and entertainment. Although there were some issues
with the power for our onboard DJs, we were able to provide an atmosphere where
people knew this is a time to party and just have a blast doing it. The
feedback given ws generally that it was great.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">

are a lot of cruises out there for the season, what makes yours stand out?</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our cruise is what we would call Premium
All-inclusive with partying from start to finish. There's no waiting for a vibe
to build, we are ready to go even before you say so. And we also give people
the opportunity to party hard when they know they don't want to be at work.
After all it is Crop Over - The Sweetest Summer Festival</span></div>

they be?</span></i></b><i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />

Tickets are sold out and have been for some time of course. However, this year the Crop Over Chronicles can exclusively reveal that they have been planning an after-party! This will be separate to the cruise, so those of you who have not been fortunate enough to attend can still experience the Roast vibes. </div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This past weekend saw not one, not two, but three cruises on the new (to Trinidad) boat the <b>Harbour Master</b>. Well known to Crop Over and Barbados visitors, this ship was one of the favourite party boats in the island. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Space to party, a solid bar, and lovely roof deck made Bajans sad to see it go to Trinidad this year. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Patrons enjoyed the boat, but it did seem almost TOO spacious, with neither of the two events taking on the maximum number that could be held. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The inaugural cruise was held by Wow Events, with <b>Scorch Summer Cruise </b>following on Saturday, and <b>Blue Jeans </b>on Sunday. Check out some pics below!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I said in my last calendar post <a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/05/crop-over-calendar-2012.html" target="_blank">here</a>, there is a vast variety of events to choose from this year. Here I give you my pick so far for <strong>Crop Over Sunday</strong>. If the Mayans are right this could be our last Crop Over, let's go out with a bang!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now this event sounds very much my style. The people behind it called Platinum Experience Entertainment are known for their invite-only all-white events held in Barbados over the past few years, including last year's "Splendorous". I have heard have rave reviews about these past fetes. These people certainly look pleased:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">They've promised every variety of drink you can think of, no rum punch and beers here people - if you drink Hennessy, there will be Pure White on offer, if you drink JW expect the Blue (or the Gold, I can never figure which is which), class from start to finish! Food will be prepared by chefs flown in with show cooking right before you. What caught my interest was the cigar and champagne lounge...sounds like an exquisite combo. This is definitely an event to add to our calendar, especially now <a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/05/booze-cruise-crop-over-2012.html" target="_blank">Booze Cruise</a> has revealed their <a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/07/booze-cruise-changes-for-crop-over-2012.html" target="_blank">plans for 2012.</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Scorch has thrown a massively popular Jolly Roger cruise, details on our calendar. This drinks and breakfast inclusive is a new addition that may be worth checking out. As it is new, Bajans may be a bit hesitant but the Trini influx that are Scorch devotees may make up for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The location will be Bellevue Plantation House where Baje held their house party last year. Hmm, does Scorch know about the noise complaints that brought an abrupt end to that particular bram? Having been to Scorch's Carnival fete I can say they can transform an outdoor location marvellously, and Bellevue is already quite a beautiful spot. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Booze Cruise</strong>, the immensely popular Crop Over Sunday cruise, has made some changes due to the re-location of the Harbour Master Boat from Barbados to Trinidad (look out for us this weekend on its inaugural voyage in T&T!)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The main boat for the cruise during it's existence was supplemented last year by the <strong>Jolly Roger</strong> and a small catamaran containing a tour group from Trinidad, but still with the moniker 'Booze Cruise.' See our previous </span><a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/05/booze-cruise-crop-over-2012.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">post</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> for the mysterious message regarding changes that Booze Cruisers were sent earlier this year. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that this boat is gone, we have confirmation that the 'Cruise' will not in fact be sailing as such.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead the <strong>Jolly Roger</strong> will be docked at the Boatyard, where the pre-party and after-party usually takes place. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The party will stretch from boat, to beach, to the yard. There is some talk out there that the boat itself will be akin to 'VIP'. Well...we'll see how THAT goes!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The all inclusive element has not changed, breakfast and lunch and premium drinks are still included. Several artists usually pass through and bless the place with live performances on the Boatyard stage. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, we will be giving Booze a miss this year. The new all inclusive <strong>Exotica</strong> is a great alternative to Booze and we will be checking that out. One of the best parts of Barbados' Crop Over is the cruising, and it will be a shame to miss it. </span></div>

<br />
So what's new in the Crop Over world this week? We heard last night's <b>Soca Sushi </b>by Baje had some good reviews. The location, <b>Cassareep Cafe</b> held an occasional (non-Crop Over) event called Sushi Samba and featured house music on their rooftop/beachside cafe. The place USED to be a well kept West Coast secret. Guess the cat's out of the bag now!<br />

SUV Boyz Entertainment has just shared with us their new plans for 2012. I love the idea of two sections, having the general section at $25 US for an event of this calibre is a steal of a deal.

past years, the event has gone from a buy your own drinks do, to an all-inclusive

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We were invited Friday 1st June to the launch of Island Fusion's 2012
presentation '<b>Once Upon a Time</b>.' I went in with high expectations, as I
was thoroughly impressed by their innovation last year. I'm talking of
course about the concept of a 'frontline' (or what they call <b>'First
Call'</b>) for foreday morning jouvert. These were not the regular t-shirt
and shorts, oh no! One pieces in sexy prints and shiny, stretchy fabrics
called to mind a highly glamorous swimsuit rather than a foreday
costume. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now the purists have always maintained foreday is a time to get dutty, roll about in the paint/mud/water, and generally go home having thoroughly ruined your outfit but they sold out in a hot minute so it's obvious the divas out there like it! I have to say though, everyone I saw in a First Call had not a lick of paint on the costume, nor a hair out of place. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The launch was held at the Mount Gay's Visitor Centre, and as it was free until 11 everyone got there early. We arrived to meet a huge crowd at the door who couldn't get in. They have promised a bigger venue next year for the patrons who were disappointed. Once inside, the venue was packed to capacity, they seem to have plenty of support amongst their market, which is by and large middle class fashion forward females in their twenties.

<br />
The costumes were displayed by models making a full circle of the venue. Now, the full impact did not hit me until I scrutinised the photos after. The backlines were a basic white tee with a green logo design, plus shiny spandex hot pants. Not bad, but last year's was a bit better design wise:<br />

How do I say this tactfully-with the exception of the Some Like it Hot frontline, the First Call costumes were a HOT mess. Asking around for opinions the comments were that they looked like something you could get for cheap in a Halloween shop. I don't know why, where, or how but the band fell down this rounds.<br />
<br />
Having digested these designs for the rest of the weekend, imagine my delight when I heard the news: it is now three days after the launch and new costumes are out. It shows humility and grace on Island Fusion's part that they would do this revamp. And here they are!<br />

Registration starts this Friday 8 June at Weisers on the Bay, from 5pm, it is also a lime. Past band members have the chance to register first. The section Lost in the Woods is exclusive to Banks, and Some Like It Hot is exclusive to Chefette. Prices are <b>$150 BDS</b> for backline, while First Call range from <b>$190-230 BDS</b>. Package includes shuttle access, drinks, breakfast, security, and complimentary after party. I saw the band having a whale of a time on the road last year. Who knows, this might be the year I decide to live out my Tinkerbell fantasy on the road!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">As I write, I am still amongst the throng of beautiful Baje people that have been privileged enough to attend the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">Crop Over 2012</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"> presentation of Baje International. Baje has a faithful crowd and the consensus right now is that they have BROUGHT IT once again! As always! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">The smart move of adding the Project Runway winner Anya Ayoung Chee (which according to some may be more of a coup for her than for Baje) ensures that Baje keeps their position at the forefront of what is hip, young, and cutting edge in the Crop Over market. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">All inclusive event held from 3pm, so almost in direct competition with the above cruises. The organisers promise a 'premium' experience. Let's see what they bring!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Similar to Rama in Trinidad, creme de la creme of artistes perform, just don't stay till morning if you're jumping the next day. FYI: 'jumping' is the Bajan equivalent of 'playing mas'-always good to get your vocabulary straight :)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Harbour Lights pre-jump party</b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Never fails as a great hype builder to the jump the next day. Lights has its own band (Blue Box Cart), and the band's revellers are well known for heading straight onto the road when they finish partying here!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The pace of Crop Over has heated up lately, as we speak bandleaders are in frantic late night meetings, at least one band has started producing costumes, with each day bringing "sneak peeks" of what's in store. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I got to thinking though, alongside jump up aka <b>Kadooment Day</b>, we have <b>Foreday Morning Jam</b>. Happening in the wee hours of Crop Over Saturday, this is the fastest growing event in Crop Over, as one can see by the plethora of bands that now exist. About 8,500 people were expected in 2</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">011</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. Some may know the jam as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jouvert" target="_blank">jouvert</a>". For our friends who've never heard of it here's what it means!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Starting after the 'Pic-O-De-Crop' competition, the parade </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">passes along Spring Garden Highway</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, just like the Kadooment jump. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It continues along its route from approximately midnight to after 6am. Live DJ music from the trucks of the different bands, Bajan folk characters like the stilt men populate the showcase as it moves along. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Bajan </span><a href="http://youtu.be/s0c_cuu_5Z4" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">"tuk band"</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> is one rhythm you can expect to hear pulsing, in addition to the odd Trinidadian "rhythm section" imported by some bands.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Like other midnight mas around the world, anything from mud, paint, and of course water feature, with your aim being to either avoid it completely, or carry it around in a bucket to slather on those trying to avoid it! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spectators line the route which is one of the safest I've seen in my Carnival experience all over the world. Even children are amongst those who taking in the revelry while trying to dodge the enthusiastic revellers pelting paint!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Suprisingly, a lot of the continued success of Foreday had to do with a private company, Roberts Manufacturing. The company even supplies its own truck so those not jumping with a band can still participate. In t</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">he present day, the jam has seen the young and hip quickly catch on, so that now you may choose from a wide range of options when it comes to bands.</span></div>

The lack of inhibitions and breaking down of barriers of class, age, race and all else leads to a sheer joy that culminates in the daybreak of the Foreday morning sun.</span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As you will have seen from our interview with the Fantasy bandleader <a href="http://cropoverchronicles.blogspot.com/2012/05/7-questions-with-fantasy-barbados.html" target="_blank">here</a>, this new band is one of the first of the season to launch, and we were invited to have a front row seat last night as they presented <b>'Warriors of Africa' </b>for </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Crop Over </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2012.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The launch was held in the University of The West Indies and started off with some lovely cultural bits, including an African dance performed by students of the university. After this we were treated to a background on the theme behind the band, which the bandleader connected to the UWI's African masters program. The way she connected it to the struggle of Africans in the Caribbean really impressed me. Really interesting stuff! </span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A nicely executed costume, granted the male feels truer to the African theme, as it did in many of the sections. I found the </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: left;">male very authentic down to the staff and zebra print. Loving the use of accessories like the staff by Fantasy. It's those little touches that make all the difference. As they said, they think men deserve more than a shorts and band. The female feels a bit over plumed, but other than that it is a pretty costume that a lot of frontline divas will love.</span></i></div>

Nice headpiece, but it had to be held all the way down the runway-this always looks bad.</span></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We like anything new here at the Crop Over Chronicles. All too often older bands get complacent, and start taking masqueraders for granted. In 2011 the band Fantasy Barbados entered the Crop Over market and launched a 500-strong all inclusive band, with a wide range of costume choices, including frontline ones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The bandleader, Amanda Reifer, sat down with us for our 7 Questions feature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>1. Describe the Fantasy masquerader - what are they like?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Fantasy masquerader is a young professional who is willing to pay for a premium brand, exceptional service and a great road experience<em>.</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>2. What does Fantasy bring to Crop Over and mas that was not there before?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fantasy is constantly looking for innovative ways of exceeding band members' expectations of a masquerade band. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>3. What will be the price range of costumes and what is included in your costume price?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Prices range between 520 and 550 - Package includes - premium drinks, food, costume, giveaways, road gear, great deejays from across the region and more...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>4. If Fantasy was an animal, what would it be?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Panther</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>5. Describe the concept behind your 2012 theme?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The theme is Warriors of Africa where we portray powerful African tribes that rose up against oppressive and domineering rulers. We have linked this theme to today's topical issues of 'fighting' against poverty, AIDS, terror, hunger etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>6. The band has a Trinidadian connection, how did that come about?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yes that is the case for one of the sections - Zulu Warriors section. Lauren joined the team last year and decided to invest in her own section this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em><strong>7. What do last year's masqueraders say was the best thing about the band?</strong></em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The best thing about the band was the 'on the road' experience and the high level of customer service they received. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here are some sneak peeks the band has released so far:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So, great news for you early birds who are thinking of where to go for Crop Over already! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/TrpleF-Services/211425157892" target="_blank">TrpleF Services</a>, the Crop Over ticketing service, is offering packages, the first of which has just been revealed as: only<span> <strong>$250 US</strong> for THREE of the hottest fetes and cruises from Crop Over Friday, at least one fete is drinks-inclusive, the second one is drinks AND food AND after party inclusive. To compare, for only about $1,500 TT - (which is what a ridiculous Trini all inclusive might cost) you get to go to <strong>three </strong>events on three different days. Wow.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span>We will be doing a blog post soon on the prices of Crop Over events, but by and large you should know Barbados in general is <strong>very expensive</strong>. I normally advise first timers to budget not less than $1,000 US for their Crop Over weekend, with accomodation and a couple fetes. So this is an absolute bargain.</span></span></div>
