Since I am a TO Virgin Masquerader I am under the care of Karabana and Trini-in-TO and looks like we will be playing with either Saldenah or Carnival Nationz. So who is everyone playing with???

I like many sections in both bands... Maybe if they are there, we can go see Saldenah's costumes after the concert on Sunday?

buublenut said...

Sounds good :) I can't wait to see the costumes in person to get a better idea

D Trini in Me said...

Bubblenut, I do not live in TO, but I drive over every year for it! For the Carnival.

Karabana said...

Saldenah's camp is now open! When ya wanna go?
D Trini, you're playing mas, right?

buublenut said...
