Sunday May 27th, 2007 -- Defending Toronto CARIBANA champions 'CARNIVAL NATIONZ' unveiled their 2007 offering to a sold out venue last night at Next Level nightclub. CARIBANA revellers got a full serving of what to expect on the road come August 4th.
CARNIVAL NATIONZ' 2K7 presentation entitled 'THE BIG TOP' engages a circus theme and offers 11 sections; including 'Jugglers', 'Cotton Candy', 'Sexy Clowns', 'Siberian Tigers', 'Lion Tamers', 'Acrobats' and much more.
The two time CARIBANA 'Band of the Year' winners will vie for a 3-peat in only their third year competing in CARIBANA. Another win this August will preserve the leading mas band's undefeated record and will solidify their quest in becoming a Carnival dynasty.
Bandleaders Bryce Aguiton, Dwayne Pitt, Curtis Eustace and Marcus Eustace first introduced their mas band 'CARNIVAL NATIONZ' in 2005 and shocked the city with their winning presentation 'Dis is Paradise'. In 2006 Toronto celebrated 'V La Copa Mundial' as CARNIVAL NATIONZ payed tribute to the 'Soca Warriors' and swept almost every major prize in the festival (including Band of the Year, King of the Bands, Queen of the Bands and Best Male Individual).
The Eustace brothers have not only tallied countless wins with CARIBANA legend 'Louis Saldenah Mas-K Club' in previous years, they also hold the record for the most Trinidad & Tobago 'KING OF CARNIVAL' titles (tied with Peter Samuel with 8th wins). Bryce (IslandBoyz.com) is one of Toronto's top event promoters and Dwayne (http://www.dbandit.com/) is also a top promoter and international DJ. Together, this cast of young minds have produced benchmark events such as 'Redemption', 'Boarding Pass Fete', 'Scream', 'Memoirs of Soca', 'All Ah We' and 'Unite D Nationz'.
No strangers to success, the CARNIVAL NATIONZ committee will be on the hunt to cop yet another 'Band of the Year' title and continue their path to Carnival 'Hall of Fame' greatness.
CARNIVAL NATIONZ registration opens next Saturday (June 2nd) at the Mas Camp (533 McNicoll Ave @ Victoria Park) from 3pm. Registration fee is $145 CAD for regular costumes and frontline sections are available at a premium. Four kiddies sections will also be available for the annual Junior Caribana parade.
