“So as you can see it is a parked set of events so hopefully there will not be a dull moment,” Tonge surmised.
I am liking what I see. Mad Dominik 2016, The Real Mas should be a blast.
Where is ‘soca Monarch’?
I just want to say that you guys lack organization. 2015 Mas Domnik you try a thing and put the queen show two weekends before the jump up. Now I negotiated hard with my employer and bought my ticket for late January so that I could definitely see the queen show for Mas 2016 but all you put it back the weekend before (which was always the norm and which I preferred).
Why do you guys just make ad-hoc changes? ANd why not give people earlier heads up – people have to buy their tickets. Keep the queen show the Friday night every year or give people early advance warning if you change it…thank you.
