Are you ready?

So, I was reading the online Guardian and today's Pulse had this tid bit of information:

Glossy Tribe

Mas band Tribe has outdone itself with its C2K7 commemorative magazine. The glossy 96-page collectors edition, designed by Amadi Jack and printed by Zenith Services Ltd, is in full colour and filled with images of every Tribe moment for the Carnival season, opening with Bliss and culminating with mas on Carnival Tuesday night.

This week, between balancing the books and trying to get some much needed rest, Tribe leader Dean Ackin hinted that with C2K8 falling even earlier than this year’s festival (February 4-5), while a launch of the band’s presentation for next year could be early in August, it might well be in four months, late in July.

This year, Tribe paid tribute to traditional mas, drawing on the experiences and knowledge of veteran mas afficionado Val Rogers, playing Ole Time Something...Come Back Again.

Note that part highlighted in bold? Bandlaunching may be as early as July, that's ONLY four months away! I just hope it is either before or after Crop Over in case I decide to go I will not be missing the miss Band Launch.

Even if the Band Launch is the last weekend of July you can still fly into to Barbados and take in the final week of Crop Over since Kadooment Day is August 6th.
