Red, white and blue is not a colour combination that appeals to me for a Trinidad Carnival costume, however I see the relevance to the theme and in this case it looks a little less "Fourth of July" than expected. I was privy to a sneak peek of the photo shoot that was done earlier this month and from that preview I have to say I like the Tri Colour costume, though it looks less like the other clothed sections from Trini Revellers and more like something I would expect from Poison. In that, I can see it appealing to the masqueraders wanting "bikini and beads" as opposed to the other unique designs I have seen for Trini Revellers. For those wanting a bit more coverage D Harvard Section's "Celebration" fits the bill.
I am quite surprised at the prices, to date I think these are the cheapest I have seen an all-inclusive section (on par with Rugeri's "Paris is Burning)! It should also be noted that they also offer online registration with Senvia AND a section DJ.
Young Reveller's section "D Tri Colour" is priced at $1650.00 for the female costume, with backpack option costing $2050.00 and the male costume $1295.00:
D Harvard Section has two costumes, the female "Celebration" at $1550.00 and the male "France under Napoleon" at $1295.00:
Both sections are all-inclusive, which includes the following per the website:
Section DJ - Hocus Pocus
Monday - Security, All Drinks (Scotch, Rum, Vodka, Beer, Wine, Chasers & Coolers, Coconut Water, Water) Snacks
Tuesday - Security, All Drinks
Breakfast (Corn Soup, Pies, Sandwiches, etc.)
Lunch, Snacks
On Carnival Monday we will promote the wearing of a
t-shirt that will be provided and our theme for Carnival Monday would be "To France with dat"

Posion had a section this yr with the same 4th july costume..but w/o the backpack and the guys had hats...it almost looks like the person who did the section for posion this yr did this section...I was looking for the pic on the net but can't find it. I do not see this fiting in with their theme french revolution at all.
As u said Sacuy the other designs are Unique, what happen to this one???
The Tri-Color looks very French. THank heavens! It could be a fine line crossing into looking American and we sure don't want that, especially when Americans have this stupid perception about the French people already.
alexia I remember that costume "American Dreams" or summtin so, but that was a HOT mess! This Tri Colour costume is much better!!!I guess the "Young Revellers" wanted a sexy costume.
I found a pic, take a look to jog your memory:

Yep thats it...and it was a HOT MESS!! I remember looking at it & cld not believe poison accepted that design, but that was when any Tom, Dick,& Harry was allow to bring a section!!!
OK i just read their website and I see where the red, white, & blue theme fits in with the french revolution.
