Tunapuna gets a good turnout for Jouvert

TUNAPUNA came good for jouvert yesterday.

There were Ole Mas bands galore. People came out in their numbers and the Chairman of the Tunapuna Carnival Improvement Committee, Bert Goodridge said he was happy that after years of non-participation, people seem convinced that Tunapuna is the mecca of carnival celebrations on the East-West corridor. More than 14 bands passed before the judges outside Repubic Bank East. Assistant Superinten-dent Leon Anthony, the police officer in charge of the Tunapuna station said he too was extremely happy, not only about the way Tunapunians and outsiders enjoyed themselves, “but crowd behaviour was really nice”, and he expects today the pattern would even be better. Some of the bands that paraded included - Trini to the Bone, Tropical Wave, Stone Age, Colour We, Holiday in Hawai and Rainbow Colours.
