Generation X Review #2
My
friend and I have been going to Miami Carnival for the past few yrs.
and decided this time we would play mas. We chose Generation X because
we heard good things about them in the past,and the costumes this year
were beautiful and affordable.
We were in Avalanche. Our section was handled by a separate group, Trinijah Entertainment. We
chose it because we never had costumes that color before and the
section leaders were the only ones ready in July to take registration
using a secure website. (Generation X website wasn’t up until mid-August
I believe. Prior to that they wanted us to give all our card
information over the phone to register for the 8 sections they actually
handled, which we were not going to do for security reasons.)
The
people behind Trinijah Entertainment, Remmie and Kandice Hunte, were
great. They kept us informed from registration to pick up. They were fun
and professional. Our pick up options were from Thursday to Saturday,
anytime. My friend and I landed around noon on Thursday and went
straight to get our costumes. We were in and out in 10 minutes. We LOVED
our costumes! They also gave us wine samples, sunglasses, glitter, and
water bottles.
We
got to the stadium at noon, went straight to get a drink (no premium
liquor, but I stuck with Appleton for the day). Every time we went for a
drink it was available. I used all but one of my drink tickets. It
was raining, but we still had a time! The music was good. I wish they
would have had ppl on top the truck hyping us up more, but it was fine.
Vibes was great, everybody winein on everybody, lmao. Around 3pm, we got
food. It was chicken, salad, and lo mein...no problem for us.
We crossed the stage a little after 7. It was soooo fun! I had a great time with this band.
I’ve
read and heard horror stories from other people and it really shocked
me. I feel like we played in two separate bands because of the extreme
differences in experience. I think my friend and I benefitted from
registering with the group that handled their section independently from
GenX. I would play with them again, but after hearing those
disappointing stories, it would have to be with an independent group
whose only focus is on one section.

I was with Gen X and I got lucky with costume pick up too. I had to go back Sat to get my brothers costume & saw the madness out there, luckily we got his costume quick. We brought our own alcohol so we were ok everytime they shut the bar down.
