On the Thursday night before Caribana Day all the kings
and queens of the bands meet to do battle. Like peacocks
they will primp and preen, eliciting oh and ahs from the
audience. It is an honour for any reveller to be enthroned
the king or queen of his or her band. The kings and queens
symbolically have the keys to the city, freedom of the streets.
Their movements are supposed to be uninhibited. Band members
and onlookers alike are to give them the respect, even if
mockingly, usually accorded to real-life royalty."
