Despite a VERY misleading photograph caption in the
Newsday on Saturday I can confirm that the stage that is currently constructed in the Queens Park Savannah will not be used by masqueraders. Carnival 2009 will, once again, see masqueraders on the streets and crossing the judging point in front of the Savannah.
For a look at the incorrect Newsday caption which states:
"BIG STAGE: Workmen make last minute preparations on the new big stage at the Queen's Park Savannah. For the last two years, masqueraders have been playing mas on the road, but this year a new big stage was constructed at the Queen's Park Savannah.

...and that defintely sucks!!! Newsday needs to be more careful in what they post and their captions, cause as you said it is very misleading. Thanks for the confirmation.
That sucks big time. I was so happy when i read that article, told everyone that I will be on the stage for the first time ever, lol now this... my mom is going to LOL at me lol ....
I'm really trying to understand the minister of Culture thinking behind this situation. How is it that they build a stage for Pan and us masqueraders are not utilizing this.
What is her reasoning behind this, Band Leaders should really unite and make change happen.
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.
newsday needs to stop a big stttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppssssssssss to them
damned!!!
Maybe this was a good thing. Its time the Gov't see the error in their decision. Removing the stage was and is still not popular with masqueraders. Hopefully the article will revive the debate.
