N Saturday I went to the South Connections band launch of their n2008 presentation of “Aztecs the lost empire” the crowd was the usual SC posse of various age groups with a couple faces missing. However the launch was another success. While only three finished costumes were presented to a most enthusiastic audience. There is no doubt that South Connections are going to be a visual force on the road this N.H.C 2008. Like last year the designs were presented with synopsis giving you the background story of the mas, and also fabric samples of the costumes that were not presented on the night.
Aztec is made up of about ten sections that give you a glimpse of the various people that this ancient empire was compromised of, and the some of the factors that contributed to its downfall.
South Connections came second in the large band category last year wit de journey now starts have once again chosen Shuan Carrington to design this years presentation, and judging from what I saw on Saturday, South Connections figuratively got one hand on the big band of the year title already.
While critiques in the past have questioned Carrington’s signature style, some proclaiming that is does not change, this year his efforts gave the Aztec theme a fashionable twist not always seen in this theme.
Overall it was a great night the South Connections people know how to party, and with D.J Soca P, and Scooby Princess on the turntables there was never a boring moment I hope that energy can be seen on the streets bank holiday Monday.
