  1. Designated Drivers
  2. Steelband All Inclusives (Steel and DJ only)
  3. More and cleaner toilets
  4. Large and Medium Bands go to Savannah only on one day (LIVE draw to pick Monday or Tuesday)
  5. BBF’s (Bikinis, Beads and Feathers) judged in separate category and given smaller prizes than traditional mas (Brazil owns bikini Mas; we own Fancy Indian and Sailors so that’s what we should reward and encourage)
  6. Special anti-pick pocket squad
  7. Improved brand merchandising (by best designers contracted by TDC e g. Minshall)
  8. Huge digital foot print (e g. social media, LIVE streaming)
  9. Carnival hot-line (24/7/digital and phone access to Carnival info)
  10. Breathalyser enforcement

    Agree with everything except #4. No way that after spending all that money to play mas I was going to be satisfied with only crossing the stage on one day.

    it is definitely time we promote steelbands at the big all inclusive fetes.  Steelband is dying because we are totally ignoring them during the Carnival season.  I would definitely go to an all inclusive with a great steelband playing soca and calypso music.

      QRC does it, but it hasn’t been shown to be a major drawing card.

      Change the band you play with. I hear loads of different songs, and also  nice back in times sets from time to time on Tuesday. (Harts)
