More importantly, the carnival will not be in B-Centennial park..but at Dolphin Stadium. A Stadium. Again. It seems like this festival is constantly taking a step back. I don't claim to know about the internal workings of the committee and I'm sure that the recession and economic status has affected budgets with them too. But a stadium carnival brings limitations. What will the rules be on liquor consumption? How do you try to recreate the road element that has been integral to the Miami Carnival parade? I'm trying to be positive about this turn of events....but I really watching this play out with a side-eye.
How are they going to handle crowd control in an even more enclosed place? Refuse entry? Yeah I know its a stadium...but this just feels like a show versus the street parade that is the essence of carnival. I guess we gonna see how it goes. I for one am really disappointed...but being cheerfully optimistic

There presentation is called Wild Ting - an all inclusive band- featuring 4 sections
First:
Berber ($100 All Inclusive) After 2000 BC, these natives merged with the Aterian natives, who were already in North Africa, firmly established along the North African littoral among the mountains of Morocco. By the 13th century & even earlier, the Egyptian rulers had to face the invasion of Libyan Berber, who was equipped with bronze sword & spears.
Second:
Leptis ($100 All Inclusive) These natives had come into existence as a junction for the Sahara-Mediterranean trade during the 5th century BC. From the first, it was influenced by its large dependence on Berber contacts with the interior. On these the Leptis thrived & the treasury at Carthage looked to the Leptis for annual contributions for their capital. The Libyan Berbers also looked to the Leptis for a living & even tried to capture it.
Third:
Itzas ($125 All Inclusive) Itzas, whose leader was called Cuculcan, had settled in the Yucatan. They build circular temples, different from all others in the country. They surrounded the place with a very broad wall of dry stone, leaving two narrow doorways. They were found in the 16th century and used Green long leaves for their outfits.
And Fourth:
Arapaho ($100 All Inclusive) The Arapaho tribes sought security through aggression and self-assertion. Rather than using large numbers to destroy a weak enemy, they will instead send small war-parties into their heart of their most powerful adversary’s territory. By displaying such recklessness a tribe struck at the very spirit of their enemy.

I wasnt able to make it to the band launch for China Mas Group but i have some pictures of their sections from off their website.
I'm sure that when I go to the Carnival Launch tomorrow I'll have the opportunity to take pictures of all the bands that are participating in the Miami Carnival parade, but until then, I hope these Few will suffice. The rest of the pictures can be seen on their website.
A friend asked me why I wasnt doing more commentary on my thoughts about the designs and costumes. As a past member of many...actually Most of the bands here in Miami, my words i think will appear too ..well..personal ..than critical..so instead i Share what info I have, and allow people to make their own decisions.
