Pics...Band Launches 2010

So last weekend , there were three band launches....on Friday Carnival Nationz Miami., Saturday : Generation X Miami , and Sunday Party People Mas.

I had big plans to go to all of them...FAIL. I made it Friday, couldnt make it Saturday and since I was hired to do makeup for them, made it on SUnday.

This weekend really made it seem like the season is finally in full swing. All the costumes showed amazing potential, and the bands are making huge efforts in term of presentation. I was happily impressed.

Here are a few pics of the Costumes and Bands..

While that seems like...a LOOOOONG time to wait ...well for me at least...the next couple weeks should be really busy and since your girl has her camera up and running, Ill be at the band launches with my camera in tow to show you the choice pickings for Miami-Broward One Carnival 2010.

Miami Carnival 2008- Generation X Launches

Pictures from the Generation X Launch- Miami Carnival 2008 - BIRDS!. [No not Tribe..hahah] Ill have the pictures from the circulated brochure to you soon. The costume pictures above are actually one of the private sections with Genx..and to be perfectly honest...its the one that I like. The Headpiece is gorgeous. Genx services I'm sure will ensure that they have a band thats humongous and people will enjoy playing in. But none of the costumes WOW the hell outta me. Sorry.

They're five GENX sections... All Female costumes are 160.00! and Male costumes $145.00. One private section and in my next post on Genx I'll have info on that one too. lol..whats interesting is like TRIBE..they models are posed with Live birds ...the birds that represent the costume that they're wearing apparently sponsored by the Aviary Bird Shop. Stay tuned for more pictures soon. More pics follow the jump

The "Other" Generation X Sections

In my previous posts I told you that Generation X has sections that are run by outside section Leaders.

These sections are handled exclusively by these section producers and the marketing and sale of these costumes are alldone by them.

I'm still working on getting you the contact information for these sections but for now I'll show you the pictures.

They're also displayed on the Genx site but shown as sold out and you CANNOT register for these sections on the Generation X website.

This Section is Called Reflections

This Section is Called Spectrum

This Section is Called Ultra Violet

I should have contact information by this Sunday and will post that information as soon as I have it.

Please note that the longer you take to send in your deposit & registration form, the less likely it will be to get in the section you want and/or get your correct size.

Music on the road by DJ DORENZO (Miami) & LALO (Trinidad)

More details on their website.

In terms of delivery, Generation X is so consistent you can take it for granted. The costumes will be there, the food will be provided and the drinks will be served. As a former exec board member I can tell you...they will do what it takes to make you happy.

Theyre all inclusive, and their music truck is legendary. There are very FEW people who can complain about their on the road experience with GenX.
