Read the review by ILoveCarnivall:
The theme for this year’s costumes is called ‘The Big Screen’ conceived by Vernon Francis (one of the committee members) but designed by Sam with a background in theatre. I wish I had caught his last name. The theme is a tribute to some of more awe inspiring costumes we see in some of the movies which have visual impact. Four sections were displayed; 300, Avatar, Predator and the VIP section ‘The Black Swan’. We were informed there is a fifth section ‘Frozen’.
With the introduction of each section, there was a distinctive musical piece from each movie before it went into soca. If you know the movies, you would know immediately what movie it was. I loved that. Attention to detail. I was really impressed with how this band stuck to theme.
