On Sunday 26th August we found ourselves at Pier 1 for another band launching for the up and coming Carnival 2K8 season. Yea people allyuh already know dat Carnival real early next year! Now the event was hosted by the band Dream Team whose presentation for 2008 is "Bejeweled".
We rolled in around 8:30 PM to ensure we didn't miss the presentation of costumes which was carded to begin at 9 PM. Between the time of our arrival and presentation time, we took the opportunity to mingle backstage (or upstairs as was the case tonight) and snap some pictures of the models fresh out of the dressing room. Well we doh have to tell ya, but we weren't the only ones up there... it was paparazzi galore! For the next hour or so we worked, mingled and sipped on some complimentary refreshments until they formally announced that the presentation was about to begin.
At about 9:45 PM, we all huddled up in front the stage which had been cleverly constructed over the pool to take in the nights presentation. In a near 25 to 30 minute long session, the announcer introduced section by section on stage, giving some brief details about each. As the sexy models graced the stage, they were woo-ed and ahhaa-ed by the audience while photographers snapped away. Unfortunately, for those who came out to see the full 12 sections of the band had to be a bit disappointed. The venue was Pier 1 and people ya know how de traffic cud be a real pressure.... some of the models were caught in the dilemma and as such didn't make it in time for the main show which was also deliberately delayed in an attempt to accommodate them.
After the on stage excitement, surprise guest artist K V Charles serenaded the crowd with some classic lovers rock that just had them all swaying from side to side. After his performance the DJs took over, keeping the vibes ole school by dropping some oldies but goodies. We hear some Soca that we ehh hear in ages.... talk bout classics!
As the clock drew close to 10:30 PM we decided to make our way out. With the way time flying these days, we always have to be on de move! Most folks were still enjoying the party and things were pretty mello with the launch carded to finish up at midnight. To the staff and committee of Dream Team, thanks for having us.
