I hope Hamilton is a go, such a great family friendly lime!!!
Hey, did you got the memo that Revellers are NOT invited to Hamilton from our section leader.
So what I'm just to supposed to look from the sideline?? :S This is getting sooo frustrated and confusing.
To bring my costume or not to bring it? And wait another week for Barrie. WTH...what is the REAL story for this reason.
And it was great seeing on the road!
The bands that are going as of now are Tribal Knights, Black Sage, Carnival Nationz, and Fantazia. I was told there is also a 5th band...
I think that regardless if your band is coming or not, just go in your costume and jump up in another band. That's what I'm doing cause my band won't be there either.
I think people misunderstand. Toronto, Hamilton, Barrie are three carnivals. The organizers invite bands. There is money exchanged but not anything to talk about.
There may be rules from the city, capicity for their street, time on the road etc. but if a band is not asked to attend...they shouldnt just appear... I think we should support all of the smaller carnivals in costume or not... I dont see the confusion- I think people assumed all bands are automatically invited, each year will change only the carnival organizers can make the overall call. Not the bands.
Dispapponted my band will not be there, but I will definitely support the community events
Annon 6:40pm
I take this to mean that your band may not be sending music trucks up to Hamilton, but anybody with a costume has always been welcome to walk with their costume and jump up right?
Yes exactly, at least that's what I heard. I'll find out if it's true this weekend. But I know it's been done before.
We're going to Hamilton (minus our band :(), can't miss it!! Come Lesley, us Wicked witches must represent!
See you all there!
There was/is a lot of talk about bands going to Hamilton Carnival. Please be advised that only four (4) bands were invited. The reason I don't know, all I know is that our band was not invited or even asked to participate. Those officially invited and was paid a down payment were (1) Carnival Nationz (2) Fantazia (3) Mas Toronto and (3) Black Sage. Tribal Knights went on their own accord. I hope that clarifies who went, who was asked etc. also hopefully any misconception about bands who didn't go.
