Page "Carnival" Paragraph 147

Carnival Tuesday is when the main events of the Carnival take place.

On this day full costume is worn complete with make up and body paints / adornments and other accessories.

Usually ' Mas Boots ' that complement the costumes are worn and are also more comfortable for the feet on the long parade routes.

Each band has their costume presentation based on a particular theme, and contain various sections ( some consisting of thousands of revelers ) which reflect these themes.

Here, the street parade and eventual crowning of the best designed band costumes take place.

After following a route where various judging points are located, the mas bands eventually converge on the Queen's Park Savannah to pass on " The Stage " to be judged once and for all – this is usually the climax for revelers because the stage is literally their own to portray their costumes to the onlooking audience in the North and Grand Stands and also the video-photographers and other camera persons.

Also taking place on this day is the crowning of the Road March King or Queen, where the singer of the most played song at judging sites over the two days of the Carnival is crowned winner, complete with prize money and usually a vehicle.
