players from Royalty’s Masquerade for Point Fortin
Borough Day Carnival.
Come
Point Fortin Borough Day, May 5, the band Royalty will hit
the streets of Point Fortin for the J’Ouvert competition
with a presentation entitled Masquerade... Carnival in May.
The band features four sections designed to create a magnificent
spectacle on the streets of Point Fortin in uniquely combined
colours: fuchsia pink and white, green and yellow, baby
blue and royal blue, orange and black. Female masqueraders
can choose vests or T-shirts combined with poom poom shorts
or cycle shorts in all sections except the fuchsia pink
and white section which comes in bra top and poom poom shorts.
Male masqueraders can choose to go bare chest in the fuchsia
pink and white section or wear T-shirt with short pants
or cycle shorts in the other sections.
The outfits range in prices from $250 - $300 for which masqueraders
will enjoy free drinks, breakfast, bandanas and a pre-J’Ouvert
party at the mas camp. There will also be hampers and other
prizes to be won. Also for those who wish to make a bold
statement you have the choice of having your body painted.
