Carnival Nationz announce ‘PIRATES’ as their much anticipated theme for CARIBANA™ 2008
Monday December 17th, 2007 – Toronto, ON, Canana: 2-Time Caribana 'Band of the Year' and defending King, Queen and Male Individual of Caribana winners; Foster Pontiac Buick GMC and Carnival Nationz have launched their much anticipated theme for Caribana 2008. Playing winning themes such as “Dis is Paradise” and “V… la Copa Mundial” for the first 2 years, last year’s “the Big Top” generated much critical acclaim despite placing 3rd on parade day. The band’s success was measured more along the lines of “people support” becoming one of the largest bands in Caribana history swelling to well over 1,500 masqueraders. So great was the support that band leaders and designers had to suspend registrations one month before the actual parade as the band was completely SOLD OUT.
With the success of the first 3 years behind them, Foster’s Carnival Nationz has embarked on season number four with renewed commitment to YOU, the public and supporters, to continually learn from past challenges, develop new and innovative technologies, and remain the leader in the marketplace in design, customer service and value-for-dollar.
As such, on Saturday 8th December, Foster’s Carnival Nationz launched their 2008 theme that is sure to arouse the “Adventure in ALL”… PIRATES
URGHHHH… we’re coming maties!!
Truly one of the most Caribbean of themes… “PIRATES” from Foster’s Carnival Nationz will be a high sea adventure that will see masqueraders swear allegiance to the code, hunt and battle for great treasures, become shipwrecked and ultimately be the greatest and most legendary of figures in the folklore and history of the sea-world… “PIRATES”.
This journey of adventure and chivalry is set to commence on Saturday 24th May during Foster’s Carnival Nationz’ band launch at a venue to be announced in due course. Come prepared to be dazzled and entertained in a manner never seen before for Caribana.
As well, look out for the revamped Carnival Nationz Kiddies Carnival band
“Lil’ Nationz” to be re-launched in 2008 as the band re-ignites its focus on the kids of Foster’s Carnival Nationz.
Foster’s Carnival Nationz would like to thank ALL their faithful supporters and sponsors over the past 3 years and look forward to seeing everyone join the adventure of a lifetime and be a part of another historical CNz moment…
“In an honest Service, there is thin Commons, low Wages, and hard Labour; in this, Plenty and Satiety, Pleasure and Ease, Liberty and Power; and who would not balance Creditor on this Side, when all the Hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sower Look or two at choaking. No, a merry Life and a short one shall be my Motto”
— Pirate Captain Bartholomew Roberts
