The Summer Crew
Carnival Experience
Summer Crew’s Carnival Preparations
Preparation for the next year's carnival often begins within
the current year's festivities. Notes are made, lessons
are learnt, new inspiration arises, and sometimes new
partnerships are forged. We usually have a break right after
carnival and then from October, preparations begin. Each
year we have an official launch in Grenada. We usually
base the date of our launch on the dates of the traditional
carnival dates -that of Trinidad, Carriacou, Dominica, Brazil,
etc. Launching soon after these carnivals is very important
to us, in terms of our marketing strategies. It may seem
'early' on the local schedule, but we look beyond this.

We are a premium drinks inclusive
party band. However, we are
so much more. We honestly
believe in family and friends.
We believe if someone only had
the opportunity to play with us
once in their lifetime, they should
walk away from that experience
knowing they are our friends for
life, in our hearts. We try to stay
in touch with as many of our
masqueraders as often as we can.
Again, I must mention my wife
Kim in this regard. When you’re
in our Mas’ Camp and you listen
to the way she interacts with the
700 hundred mas’ players, you
would swear she knew them all
her life simply by the way she
remembers names, faces and
everyone’s size. Even the people
who come on-board for the first
time seem to love the way our
band seems to be one big family
on the road. And, if I am granted
one wish, it would be that we
never ever lose that in our pursuit
of success.
