CARNIVAL NATIONZ COSTUME DISTRIBUTION DATES FOR CARIBANA 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen the time is here for 2008. Time to get ready for de road. We at Carnival Nationz are just as excited as you are to get this Pirate ship to sailing on the Lakeshore. I know all you care about right now is where and when is pick up, so lets get to that and finish with the long talk.
We have set aside special days for each section. Pickup begins on Wed July 30th and ends on Fri Aug 1st. For all out of town masqueraders please make sure we know to hold your costume until Friday evening. Please NOTE: At pickup you will recieve all other information pertaining to Caribana day assembly time, location, order of crossing the stage etc. The scheduled time for costume pickup is as follows:
Caribana Wednesday July 30th
Sextant Horizon (Yellow/Orange), Kacike (Brown), Captain Morgan's (Red), Calico Jack (Black/Pink) , CawCaw! (revised)
6pm - 9pm

PICKUP RULES AND GUIDLEINES:
Please do not show up on days not assigned to your section before your scheduled pickup date. In other words if you are to pick up on Thursday PLEASE do not show up on Wednesday and assume your costume will be ready.
There will be no trying on at the mas camp on pickup days. We are also not responsible for alterations. For all minor alterations (as everyone may have) please feel free to do at home or at a professional tailor or seamstress ..thank you in advance for understanding.
Lastly if you cannot come to pick up your costume on the assigned date, not to worry, we will hold your costume for you until 8pm Caribana Friday. Please come to the mas camp OUTSIDE the other sections scheduled times. In other words if you are in Kacike and are supposed to come to the mas camp between 6-9pm on Wednesday and cannot make it for that time, then feel free to come anytime between the hours of 10am-4pm Thurs or Friday we will hold your costume until 8pm unless an appointment has been made for special pickup. PLEASE NOTE ALL FINAL PAYMENTS ARE DUE AT PICKUP.
We look forward to meeting you in person once again and jumping with you on de Lake Shore!!!

well that's nice..wish Toronto Revellers were as organized..never playing mas wit dem again!
awww, thats unfortunate! By all looks of it Carnival Nationz seemed to be quite organized this yr. Guess we'll see if it was full circle come costume pick up and on the road on Saturday
When is Toronto Revelers pickup? I emailed them and got no response!
Also, what is up with no trying on and no alterations?????
thanks for the info, I never got this e-mail. I don't think I am on their distribution list
I haven't heard any info about Toronto Revellers yet.
I was reading Nationz facebook group and I do feel sorry for the persons who pick up on Friday (notice its mostly sections that were 1st to sell out; shipwreck, bullions and baubles, caw caw) as if you have to work, you are stuck picking up the night b4 the parade, which gives you very little time to get any sort of alterations done if you need them.
masvirgin,
I'm pretty sure if you talk to the section leader, they would be able to do something for you. I agree with you about the costume pick up. I never received a phone call but my cousins did. I just went with them and got my costume hassle free.
I don't think that any band is doing alterations, not even Carnival nationz, so were all in the same boat.
Good luck to all the CN's masqueraders with the pick up.
Bwoy, I'm one of the unfortunates that has to pick up a costume on friday (misty dawn), and i'm already worried because of the way the lady measured me.
When i played Saldenah last year, there was no pick up dates so the camp was very crowded the night before (when i picked up). Thank goodness i check my costume (the bottom was the wrong size).
I forsee it being pretty organized, but a lot of people upset about fitting and what not.

Well I FINALLY got a call from TO Revellers..Gem of the Nile will be ready Tuesday from 6-10pm for pickup. Mas virgin you best believe I'm trying on my costume @ the camp considering how much it cost!!!
