A rainy, but grand Kadoo

By Gercine Carter

Dark clouds looming overhead failed to dampen the mood of thousands of charged-up Kadooment revellers gyrating and Jonesing behind music trucks, as they awaited their turn to hit the road in today’s Grand Kadooment.

Twenty-three costumed bands assembled at Warrens, St Michael, to begin the scheduled 8.00 a.m. trek to the National Stadium amidst a heavy presence of security forces and emergency personnel. In keeping with tradition, the religious band Walk Holy was first on the road, their music truck striking up with an uptempo gospel number and 20 conservatively dressed band members jigging  down to the National Stadium.

It rained heavily  on the revellers’ parade, a cooling feature  welcomed by revellers who upped the tempo, while the hundreds of onlookers in the area took shelter under the sea of umbrellas  that suddenly appeared.
