Connections band launch 2014 - Forces of Nature

Connections Mastumes Band launched their Forces of Nature presentation at Twilight Lounge to an appreciative crowd. I know I appreciated their midnight start time!

Many of the costumes had stand out features that made me have a second and third look, such as: Aurora Borealis' different & fun headpiece; the creative curled collar of Winds of Discord; and the off-set headpieces in Winds of Discord and Tsunami. There were many pleasing colour combos like in The Aftermath, Tsunami, Aurora Borealis and Winds of Discord. 

Another thing to appreciate was that most of the models looked like they were having fun, and many danced as though they were on the Lakeshore at the finale.

Beautiful costumes on happy masqueraders, that's what we want to see!

Fire dance

What a perfect way to showcase costumes: under the shining sun & a blue sky with a slight breeze to bring feathers to life and cause capes to sway. This launch had a back to basics kind of vibe, where people could check out the mas camp, chat with the very accessible band leader, listen to soca, and see mas in all it's glory. 

A few local comics opened the show @6:00, followed by very entertaining Polynesian dancers who really engaged the crowd.
