Large, colourful contingents mark August Monday parade
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – A sea of large, colourful and enthusiastic troupes were the order of the day as the Virgin Islands Emancipation Festival’s Annual August Monday Parade kicked off yesterday, August 5, 2013.
The parade featured entries from the Anasazi and Intrigue dancers who were ably supported by Showtime and VI Showtime bands respectively as well as entries from the BVI Rugby Football Union, The Rotary Club, Alexandrina Maduro Primary and Treasures of the BVI among others. Members of the Splash Band also put in an appearance at this year’s parade following their recent comeback.
The surprise entry for this year’s parade appeared to be the St George’s Episcopal (Anglican) Church who displayed an African themed set and had a fair-sized group of persons.
Pageant queens, including the newly crowned Miss BVI, Ms Rosanna Chichester, headed the parade contingent which also featured entrants from the Prince and Princess show and Miss Teen BVI pageant among others. Calypso Queen Joycelyn Searles aka Sistah Joyce was also a feature in the parade contingent.
There was also a tremendous show of crowd support for the various bands and contingents that wove their way along Waterfront Drive as hundreds thronged to the roadside along the parade route. As is customary, the ever popular moko jumbies were also present and in full effect.
Several troupes from previous years were noticeably absent, however, this did not seem to negatively affect the turnout from residents.

Leave that nonsense for the bedroom. Is that what the slaves were doing when they were freed??
There was one troupe who were chanting this one particular song it's getting hot in here finished with a curse words and make it worse in front of the judges with children in the troupe.
Shameful!!
I SEE WHY IT DONT HAVE MUCH BVI COPS IN THE FORCE, THESE COPS ARE JUST HERE FOR A MONEY POCKET.
Your comment makes no sense at all especially at the end. It is for that very reason why it should have more locals in the force if what you are saying is indeed true. By the way, how did you know that the officers who were asked to assist are not locals? These officers worked very hard during the festival and we need to stop criticize and assist in whatever way we can as a people. We are always quick to jump on the police whenever the simplest of things happen but whenever they do a good job, we do not commend them. After all, they are not robots but human beings like you and me.
YOU GUYS WAIT UNTIL A ROBBERY OR DEATH TO START RUNNING YOUR MOUTHS AND WHEN THE MEDIA PUT IT OUT THERE YOU GUYS WANT TO COVERED IT UP LIKE THE MEDIA BRINGING WRONG NEWS WHEN THE MEDIA HAVE IT ALL DOWN PACK WITH YOU WICKED CROOKED COPS IN THE BVI.
NEXT THINGS COPS SEE WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE, AND I WOULD SAY THIS CHECK THE FORCE COUNT THEM AND TELL ME HOW MANY BVI ISLANDERS ARE COPS IN THERE, JUST ASKED AND YOU SHALL HEAR. SO LOCALLY MADE YOUR NAME SAID IT ALL THAT YOU ARE A LOCAL FOOL NOW LOL.
Splendid job, LM.
God is Not pleased!
Also the Bible Says:Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
#A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!!! God Bless.
