Size is not an Issue

Initally this was a reply to a post made on carnivaljumbie blog I thought it would have been a good I dea to make it a separate post here.

Actually I miss the days of Po!son it really was fun being in a band 10,000 strong and I am sure the size of the band was one of the reasons why many enjoyed Po!son including you guys who criticizing it now. The problem with Poison was not the size of the band it was band's management. When the organizers of a Carnival band value their profits more than their masquraders things are sure to go haywire.

The first time I ever played mas was with Poison in 2005 Cherchez la Femme,I was 15. It was literally the worst year to play with them because the band was stuck for 5hrs on Park and Charlote Street but I still enjoyed my self (I had to, back then my costume cost $1600). The reason we were stuck was because of the big stage.In thoes days when a section went on stage it would take forever to come off.

The problems TRIBE has are minor.They have to improve their service for the amt of masquraders they have.To keep the band moving they should get their own route and try to avoid the Savannah, seeing that there is no more stage(yall remember 2007). They should also put the truck with the best dj as the first or last music trucks in the band and have his music played on two trucks instead of one (like what Harts does). TRIBE should also get a new location for lunch we have outgrown Jackson Square and oh gosh please doh leh me have to talk about dangerous journey on the narrow, winding road one has to make just to collect their costume (Cascadia is not a bad hotel its just in a really bad location. I doh feel safe on my way to that hotel .Up dey real ghetto.Yall no what it is to be stuck in traffic on yur way to Cascadia to pick up your costume and thugs from arround watchin yuh real hard. I DON'T FEEL SAFE !!!) in short TRIBE needs to get to get their act together where costume collection is involved.
To cut a long story short increasing the band's size should not cause any problems once service is good.
