About Organisation
A Carnival Band or a “mas band” is a costume band rather than a musical band. The term “mas” arose in Caribbean Carnival from the French word “masqué” (“concealed”) and to “play mas” means to go to Carnival, parade in costume and dance on the street. Individuals are part of a ‘mas band’ that usually follows a truck on the road, where the truck provides the music. Fox Carnival champions the idea that playing mas = mass happiness… everyone should do it!
